General Blitzkrieg

There is a tradition in superhuman history of every extreme having an opposite, a nemesis; All American had Doktor Schmerzen, Astronoman had Exodus, and Caractacus had General Blitzkrieg.

Origins
First Officer Irving Briens was a member of the Royal Air Force early in the Second World War, earning multiple awards for bravery in the face of danger (though these were later revoked and hidden from public view). His road to fame was lost for good, however, when in mid-flight over the Channel he discovered his power to control the velocity of objects, and promptly accidentally crashed the entire squadron. Irving was dishonourably discharged from the air force, leaving him lost, confused and angry.

Rise of the General
Months later, Irving reappeared on the side of the Nazis as General Blitzkrieg (its unknown whether this was an nickname or he actually had been awarded this rank). He was first seen in the middle of a battlefield, stopping all of the Allied bullets in mid-air. This is of course why Caractacus was drafted in to fight the General, as his battle technique didn't involve high speed. He met the General on many fields of battle, the most dangerous being aboard a large cargo plane, in which the heat of the battle caused Blitzkriegs Antipower to activate and fire them both at high speed towards the ocean. In the event it was only the General's sense of fair play which saved both the villain and the hero, slowing them to a stop to continue their fight on dry land. As neither was finally defeated, both Blitzkrieg and Caractacus faded to obscurity post-Hiroshima.

Irving's daughter, under the name Venus, inherited her father's ability, amongst others, and used it to attempt to build her own empire in The War of the Gods.
