Editing Speedy (section)

== Background ==

Jerry Rocket is the son of Johnny Rocket's sister, who went and got married to Astro Labs Doctor Jerimiah Rocket.  Jerry Rocket has an older sister in Jonni Rocket, who has gone on to have a fairly successful career herself as a super hero.  Unfortunately, Jerry's powers are a great deal milder than the rest of his family and he's gone to the Claremont Academy to hone them.

Taking the imaginative code name, Speedy, Jerry has become incredibly infatuated with Black Cherry (along with just about every other attractive woman on campus).  He's done fairly well in Lucien's super heroing classes but he's got serious attention span issues that have prevented him from excelling.

Due to bizarre events that are too difficult to describe without him sounding like a complete dork, most of the female student body thinks Speedy is gay.  He encourages this in hopes of being invited to slumber parties.  Desert Wasp is horrified by this even if he understands that Jerry isn't trying to be insulting.
