About Quicky
Roger Stone was a high school and college athlete who was one of those rare instances of also being quite smart. He managed to graduate from Star City Tech with an electrical engineering degree while still playing on the baseball team all four years. He was a good fielder and hitter, but his running speed was never great (OK, it was lousy), so he never caught even a whiff from the scouts. This rather ticked him off, since he had worked to be a great ball player from a young age, knowing it was a path to good money and a lifetime of doing something he loved. His parents were of modest means, so he had hoped to get to the good life that way.
However he had a good degree from a good school. He could still make a good living.
Looking around as the most appealing was a startup called Icarus Labs. They were working on a fusion power plant, with some radical new tech which was going to finally get it well past the break even point where fusion technology had lagged for so many years. The key tech was a containment vessel constructed out of an alloy of Vibranium and Promethium. This was capable of reflecting the energy back in, helping containment and increasing reaction efficiency.
During the Hive invasion, Roger was working on the reactor, and the aliens attacked the lab. A particle beam hit the outer containment vessel of the reactor (large concrete building) and Roger was able to start the shutdown procedure. Another beam struck through the hole from the first and hit the alloy containment vessel, melting it and causing the liquid metal to splash over Roger. Normally this would have resulted in a human being turned into trace elements in a metal slag. However Roger apparently exhibited the metagene and was able to adapt to it and incorporate the alloy into himself surviving.
In fact he more than survived. In his metal form he was amazingly fast, strong, and durable. Unlike the Flash who taps into the speed force, Roger moved fast on pure brute force. He moves fast because he is strong, and can survive the abrupt changes in momentum as well as heat resistance because his metal skin is nearly invulnerable. His reaction time, senses, and metabolism are all accelerated to an amazing degree.
So when Roger woke up and found himself encased in metal, but immensely powerful, he was rather bewildered. He was able to use his powers to scoop up the eco-terrorists and hand them over to the authorities, but Icarus Labs was kaput. So much for that way to make it.
He then decided to use his newfound abilities to try and make a living. Working as a body guard, security guard, hydraulic jack, courier, and a few other options he has managed to make pretty good money. Sometimes he even nabs criminals for free. Big threats to Star City he is generally willing to face simply because it's his home and the right thing to do.
He maintains a consulting business in his human form, doing part time engineering work. However being young and fairly inexperienced, he doesn't get a lot of clients. Though that just means he has more time to work as Quicky.
