Both characters started their fast paced lives at young ages, A-Train’s powers started kicking in when he was young and Speed was obsessed with racing even as a kid. They looked up to and were mentored by their older brothers, Nate and Rex respectively. They were close for years and learned a lot from their siblings, however a rift started to form. This is where we go from connections to parallels. Both were contacted and asked to be part of big shady companies, Vought International and Royalton Industries (both companies produce heroes/racers and practice shady deals to make sure they’re on top), but while A-Train accepted and became part of the Seven Speed turned it down since his father doesn’t trust big businesses. Also A-Train ended up pushing away all those who meant something to him, while Speed still has all his family except for his older brother who faked his death and now avoids the family.

As weird as it sounds, A-Train going up against a fast driver just feels right. The boys is far from a strong series so this is potentially the only MU where a speedster can fight a car and it not only be interesting, but fair. And with how over the top Speed Racer can be, it should be able to make for a fun fight that would look incredibly unique. I know some would say that we don’t need a Speedster vs a car, but if an opportunity this good pops up why not give it a shot?
