Paper (Earth-19)

"Paper is an average hyperactive teenager who wants to do anything and everything that is exciting or fun. The thing with him is that he actually isn't just hyperactive. His powers are superspeed, which allow him to get from point A to point B in fractions of a second. He is also a very skilled archer and knows his way inside and out of a bow and all his quivers, too. Whether its delivering things, getting thins before his competitors, or striking a far away target, Paper can just about do anything thing that there is to do."
