Character History
Mr. Fahrenheit was a friend and ally of Red Death and his other villainous associates (Hate-Bit, Stab Girl, Laugh Riot, and Vendata). As of early 1987, their clique thought themselves young and upcoming talent for the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
The group planned an unsanctioned arch upon Jonas Venture Sr., infiltrating and hijacking Gargantua-1 on April 9, 1987.[1][2] Thanks to Vendata's strategic mastery, the villains knew that (almost) everybody aboard the space station would be together in the cargo bay for Movie Night, where they planned to take over. However, the plan went south when somebody opened the main cargo bay doors, sucking most of the people aboard Gargantua-1 into the vacuum of space and killing them. Mr. Fahrenheit was among the death toll.

Trivia
- Mr. Fahrenheit's physical appearance is identical to Queen's singer Freddie Mercury; his name and power are taken from the lyrics of the band's song Don't Stop Me Now.
- His ability of super speed is likely a play on the DC Superhero the Flash, and Queen's soundtrack for the 1980 film adaptation of Flash Gordon - the design of the t-shirt he wears resembles the logo from the film as an additional nod.
