History
Speed Richardson was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad.
Well, he really loved the novel Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini and aspired to be an actor who would make a movie to bring that novel to life as it truly deserved. He would change his name from Wilson W. St. Wilson to the more actor-y Speed Richardson. The problem was didn't live in a town where any Important People who'd notice him would go and wasn't actually a very good actor. But at twenty-four years old he found another purpose in life when he signed on to test for a mad scientist who wanted to use shrink-wrap for law enforcement purposes. Gaining the power to generate shrink-wrap, he became the sensational Shrink-Wrap Man!
He came to the LNHQ and immediately demanded to be made leader of the LNH. This obviously didn't work out, but he soon had a chance to join the battle agianst the Bhigghrehenghuyhsian invasion of Loonivearth.
Net.Heroes on Parade
After recovering from the invasion, he naturally leaped into battle against the Terrible Ones alongside a group of other new-ish net.heroes and fellow travelers.
He fell hopelessly in love with Michette Duclos, whose mystic lunchbox the Terrible Ones had been after. One night he was approached by Chatillon, who offered him a deal: if he let Chatillon take Michette's lunchbox, Michette would need someone to console her and Speed could play that role. He found himself deeply torn by the offer.
