Don-Vin, a.k.a. Hyper the Phenomenal, was a young scientist under the employ of the United States government. He was allied with the Winifred, codenamed Agent 2Y, who served as an undercover operative for the U.S. Secret Service. The beautiful Dolores, while being an enemy, is enamored with Hyper, and attempts to recruit him into her villainous gang, which also included Ashknif and Boris. He was able to repel and attract metal by means of his magno-hydro gauntlets, which defelcted bullets and kept steel walls from crushing Agent 2Y. His chest was protected by a “plastron”-comprised bulletproof fabric. Hyper’s characteristic “neogas” helmet had a built-in radio and, although heavy, somehow enabled him artificial flight. He carried ray-guns in the cover artwork. Although most online sources refer to Holyoke’s Blue Streak as having “Don-Vin” as an alter-ego, this is incorrect. The Blue Streak’s real name was never revealed.
