The Quickster is a superhero who is only seen in the episode: Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy V. He is the part of The International Justice League of Super Acquaintances. It can be assumed that he retired and is replaced by SpongeBob in this episode. He has the ability (as his name describes) to run extremely fast. His costume is white with a red lightning bolt on it.

Powers

  • Speed; can run extremely fast without being seen.
  • Red jellyfishes (only in Nick Arcade Game Atlantis SquarePantis: Square Off).

Appearances

Trivia

  • He was originally going to be named "The Whizzer".
  • The Quickster is a parody of the DC comics superhero, Flash and the Marvel Comics superhero, Quicksilver
  • The eagle wings at the side of his mask also make him resemble Captain America.

Advantages

  • Melee attacks (because of immense speed)
  • Extreme speed (so fast as to make him invisible (or at least a blur))

Weaknesses

  • If he (Quickster or SpongeBob) abuses his speed he will be little more than a pair of feet (as evidenced by SpongeBob (although it could have been due to Captain Magma / Squidward's lava attack))
  • His immense speed causes a rut to form if he runs in a closed figure, while not a weakness in it's own right it can possibly dig a rut deep enough to trap him.
