Ryan Harper


 * For his Earth 1 counterpart, see Sebastian Harper.

Ryan Jackson Harper (ライアン・ジャクソン・ハーパー), better known as Godspeed, is the second main antagonist of Ultimate. He was a villain, time criminal, and the archenemy of Marcus Allen/Lightspeed.

The victim of an accident similar to Marcus, Ryan gained super speed and a facial scar, but was neglected by everybody, including his best friend. Angry, Ryan caused havoc in his universe, before coming to Earth 1 to kill Marcus.

Ryan caused time aberrations while relentlessly attacking Marcus and the rest of the Legends. Stealing technology and mystic artifacts to build a device that would tear apart the line between reality and The Light, Ryan engaged the Legends and seemingly perished.

Ryan returned during the Survival Games, working with Malcolm Dark to kill the heroes, but was defeated by Marcus. When Marcus became trapped in The Light, Ryan was forced into the Legends.

Evolving into an anti-hero, he ultimately sacrificed himself to stop Rip Vega by using the Angel Experiment, destroying them both in a flash of light.
