Synopsis for "The Top-Secret Origin of The Blitz"

The American racer Jimmy Travis and the East German racer Helmut Schlechtmann raced against each other just outside of Monte Carlo, when the latter of the racers rammed the former into rocks in order to win the race. Travis unintentionally uncovered a secret hatch that led to a Nazi lab, where he found a suit labeled "Ubermensch." Jimmy accidentally spilled a potion onto himself, melting off his clothes, so he put on the "Ubermensch" suit and encountered gamblers who attempted to kill Jimmy. He realized that he had superhuman speed and used it to defeat the gamblers and confront Schlechtmann, tying him up, before boosting his car to the finish line and winning the race. Afterwards, Schlechtmann and the gamblers were arrested, while The Blitz's identity remained a secret.

College student Reid Randall had received a letter from his mother, learning that his brother Ted had been put into the hospital. When he returned home, his mother told him that his brother had gotten into gambling debts and that the people he owed wanted to take over their family business. Ted's wife Janet and his son Jerry visited him at the Midway City Hospital. That evening, he was visited and harassed by a criminal named Morris, to whom he owed money, but was stopped when Reid arrived. Meanwhile, Morris reported to his boss "Gentleman" Mac Duggin, who vowed revenge. When Ted and Janet started their car, it exploded, killing them. At the graves of Ted and Janet, Reid vowed justice. Gentleman Mac Duggin sent a threatening letter to Mrs. Randall, demanding the surrender of the family's garment factory. Reid examined a photo of him and his late brother dressed up as knights and got an idea. As Morris arrived at the house, Reid left in a taxi and the criminal believed that it was the right time to acquire the factory.
