Justin Hammer later designed Blue Streak's equipment and funded his operations. After leaving prison, the Blue Streak led a successful career as a professional criminal in the American Midwest. Blue Streak was contacted by Gary Gilbert about the serial killings of super-villains. Blue Streak was invited to join an underground network to locate and eliminate the killer, but Blue Streak refused. Later on, Blue Streak had a run-in with Captain America, and while making his escape, he was subsequently murdered by the Scourge of the Underworld.
