Biography

Legion of Darkness

When the Hero Factory became well-known throughout the galaxy for stopping crimes and arresting criminals; Speeda Demon along with the other criminals were either forced to stopped their criminal activities or return empty-handed from a fail attempt to steal or rob something or someone. After becoming interested with Black Phantom's plan; he was recruited by Black Phantom as a member of the Legion of Darkness.

He, Splitface, Thornraxx, and Black Phantom then went to Makuro Industries Plant on the planet Mechna, where Thornraxx hijacked one of the hover vehicles that had contained a shipment of two dozens of XT4 robots while it was mid-air and landed it before it crash and run-over the other three villains. After leading out the XT4 robots out of the vehicle; Black Phantom then ordered Speeda Demon and Splitface to attack the hover vehicle to make it appear like it has crashed while Black Phantom re-programmed all except one of the XT4 robots to scatter around until their power sources run out.

Sometime later, Speeda Demon and Splitface were then ordered to hijack an old ore freighter and piloted it to Asteroid J-54 to assist XT4. Along the way, they ditched the freighter's crew on an asteroid and decided to rig the engines of the ore freighter to explode. They then boarded Black Phantom's scout ship via transmat beam with Splitface explaining that their "new order" and idea is faster than what Black Phantom had ordered them. A few days later, in the backroom of a refueling station; Splitface showed the other villains of the latest bulletin from a news report. Speeda Demon became concerned that this was maybe a trap, but the others disagree and nearly attempt to quarrel about it when Black Phantom quite them down and then announced his plans to move the organization into the now-vacant factory and establish it as their new headquarters.

When the Legion of Darkness was met by Preston Stormer; Speeda Demon along with Voltix, Thornraxx, and Toxic Reapa were then ordered by Black Phantom to secure the Assembly Tower. Shortly after Toxic Reapa threw Thornraxx out of the ship and at the same moment, they encountered Thresher. They quickly crashed their badly damaged ship which exploded after Voltix hurled two bolts of electricity at Thresher and a conveyor belt. After a short fight, he and the others captured Thresher with a crane's claw and were amusing themselves by slowly lowing the hero towards a disassembly machine until Black Phantom suddenly appeared, saw what was going on, and tried to rush them into dropping Thresher into the machine. Before the four villains could drop Thresher; they were interrupted by Bulk and the other members of Alpha 1.

After Stormer played a recording of Black Phantom's statement. Speeda Demon, Voltix, and Toxic Reapa took down Black Phantom for betraying them and were then captured by the heroes and sent, along with Jawblade, Splitface, and Thornraxx, to Asteroid J-54.

Unknown years prior Breakout

Some time later, Speeda Demon escaped from Asteroid J-54 and resumed his criminal activities and at some point, he made a deal with a trader by selling his loot for a map carved on a stone that had been cut out from something. The map contained information about the whereabouts of the three Doom Box fragments. However, Speeda Demon could not figure out what was on the stone and so he sold it to Core Hunter with Splitface witnessing this. Several years later, William Furno used his Furno Bike to recapture the villain.

Breakout

After many years of imprisonment within the Villain Storage Facility, Speeda Demon's former Legion of Darkness member Voltix, is escorted into the compound and his cell. As his prison ascends into place, he releases a cloud resembling Von Nebula, which makes its way towards and shatters the Black Hole Staff also situated in the facility, causing a mass Breakout, allowing every villain, including Speeda, to escape through a Black Hole Tornado. Upon his escape, Speeda Demon fled to the snow-biomed planet of Kollix IV, estimated to be assigned to head to the planet's north pole via his newly required Speeder Bike to destroy the Stellar Navigation Beacon. If Speeda succeeds, unsuspected spaceships, not knowing how to proceed, could get raided of their goods by the mad tyrant.

Stormer catching up to Speeda Demon

Shortly after the Breakout, Aplha leader Preston Stormer is assigned to capture Speeda-Demon while given a white Ultra Mach Speed Cycle to catch up with the motorist villain. As Speeda quickly advances through the terrain and makes his way to the beacon, Stormer locates and catches up to Speeda-Demon before asking him to pull over his Nitro Rocket Bike. Realizing his adversary, Speeda instead attacks him with swings from his two backheld Wing Blades like an uncontrolled lunatic before getting punched in the face by Stormer, which de-arms him of one of his back held blades and has him nearly fall his bike while being dragged across the ground, before jumping into the air. Upon landing back onto his vehicle backward, Speeda activates and unleashes the turning spikes from the center of his bike wheels in an attempt to pop Stromer's bike tires before crashing into him and dragging him against one of the large ice walls, which slows Stormer down, before the villain proclaims that the Alpha Leader will not catch up with him before the pursuit continues.

As the motor chase rages on, Stormer sends out his Jet Drones from his arm to attack Speeda-Demon, only for him to outrun them and cause them to crash into an Ice rock. Speed, taking a moment to scold the Hero for his weak maneuver, is surprised by Stormer, who gets ahead and ambushes him, with the drones being a mere distraction. Enraged, Speeda bloats him before maniacally laughing away as he speeds off before being followed close by Stormer, continuing the battle.

Speeda Demon's Defeat

As Stormer catches up to Speeda, the villain fires at the oncoming hero with his Miniature Meteor Blaster before notices an overhead arch make of ice chinks ahead, to which he shoots the structure causing it to collapse. Speed ramps up his speed, which gives him time to zoom through the arch, leaving Stormer close behind to get buried beneath a thick layer of ice blocks. As the villain celebrates his triumph in presumably killing the Hero, he wastes no time and flees before being surprised by the sight of Stormer emerging from the pile and throwing his Hero Cuffs at the villain. Upon looking over his shoulder, he notices the pair of homing cuffs headed straight for him. Before he knows it, his right arm is cuffed with the sentient cuffs, attempting to grapple onto his other hand, still steering the high-speed bike, causing the vehicle and Speeda to shake. Eventually, the cuffs mistakenly grapple onto the bike's left handle, causing the bike to accelerate and inevitably leading Speeda to crash into an ice wall with a massive bang. As the villain lies in defeat, surrounded by pieces of his Armor scattered everywhere, he's stripped of his weapons and, along with his fellow Legion members, reunited and brought back to the Hero Factory by the Alpha 1 Team. He remains in custody.

Personality and Traits

Speeda Demon is a volatile and erratic villain, marked by intense insanity and a dangerously short temper. Often childish and explosive, he struggles to control his outbursts, though he can adopt a calculating silence when strategy demands it. His encounters reveal an aggressive need to dominate, yet his mechanical ingenuity, showcased in crafting his custom bike, highlights a surprising intellect beneath his chaotic demeanor.

Appearance

The four-armed Speeda-Demon showcases a vibrant lime and neon yellow-green color scheme. His helmet features bright red eyes and sharp yellow-white teeth, complemented by two golden blade-spikes on either side of his head. Additionally, his body is adorned with smaller golden spikes scattered across his arms and legs. Speeda-Demon rides a Nitro Rocket Bike that sports a striking purple and black color scheme and which also granted the villain his name.

Weapons

Speeda-Demon wields two miniature reverse-gripped Meteor Blasters that can be attached to his Nitro Rocket Motorbike and his Wing Blades, which he holds with his two backhands. Additionally, the bike possesses sharp gold teeth that can eject from the centers of each wheel, allowing it to puncture any nearby pursuers.
