Skyrockets villainous rampage was short-lived. Not much of the character is known beyond that.

Background Information[]

An unnamed scientist gave Skyrocket his powers and equipment, and together the two planned robberies for Skyrocket to commit. They used an abandoned house as a base, not realizing that Batman’s old enemy The Riddler was also hiding out there. The Riddler overheard their schemes and, considering this new villain a competitor, decided to tip off the Super-Friends by giving them riddle-clues to Skyrocket’s crimes. But Riddler’s psychological compulsion forced him to commit crimes of his own that *also* fit the clues. The Super-Friends had a tough time trying to track down these two wily criminals simultaneously, but eventually both were captured.[1]

Skyrocket is a brash and confident thief, with no qualms at all about taking on the likes of Superman and Wonder Woman in the course of his crimes. His m.o. is pretty simple : swoop in at great speed, grab the loot, and swoop back out again (shooting off his “fireworks” as needed to dissuade any pursuers).


Equipment[]

His suit has fins on the back, legs, and helmet, and a white rocket emblem on the chest. 
Small rocket tubes are strapped to his forearms and shins.
