History: (Flash I #108) - A group of Mohruvian criminals led by Kee Feleg discovered the dimension of Earth, and found that by draining the energy of objects struck by lightning there they could achieve superspeed. Feleg and his compatriots used their newfound powers to commit robberies, and the Mohruvian police force had little luck in trying to apprehend them. Feleg realized the one man who could stop them was the Earth hero flash, who also possessed superspeed and was the only one who could see them. Feleg posed as scientist Dr. Hirachi and placed a newspoaper ad, claiming to have invented a device that could accurately measure Flash’s speed. Hirachi had Flash run on a treadmill while a beam fired radiation at him. Flash found that he couldn’t slow down or get off the treadmill, and Hirachi took off his human disguise, revealing himself as Kee Feleg. The treadmill kept Flash trapped while the radiation sped him up, and Flash knew that before long his body would give out from the strain. Feleg gloated about dooming Flash and left his lab, saying he had other business to attend to. Flash couldn’t slow down, so he sped up, running faster than the speed of light to escape the treadmill. Flash learned that Feleg and his band of criminal Mohruvians were stealing fulgurites, to give them superspeed to commit crimes on Mohru. He broke the speed of light to shift to the dimension of Mohru, captured the thieves, and handed them over to a Mohruvian police chief.
