Media Appearances
Dead Fast appears in Ghoulia's Dream comic Volume 2, SDCCI 2011 comic, and has a cameo in the 2022 Animated Series.
Ghoulia Yelps was saddened that her parents wouldn't let her go to Nekrocon, as not only had she been hoping to go all year, there would be held a raffle for the elusive Dead Fast #0, which Ghoulia had hoped to win. Sitting alone outside and doodling some Dead Fast images, Ghoulia fell asleep. She dreamed she was attending Nekro-Con, gained Dead Fast's powers and saved the Dead Fast #0 from the mischievous Shadow Poacher. Meanwhile, Cleo de Nile secretly sent her 10.000 servants to Nekro-Con to win the comic for her friend. Once she had her hands on it, she slipped the comic between Ghoulia's papers while she was still asleep. When Ghoulia awoke and found the comic, she was confused, but not as much as she was euphoric.
With Ghoulia Yelps's aid, Dead Fast gained access to Dr. Igorable's lab, where the villain was creating a black hole-generator that could be tuned to only absorb a selected species: zombies. Dead Fast goaded Igorable out of his safe laboratory, but was hit by Igorable's rainbow bazooka. Thought taken out, Dead Fast then revealed that the destroyed Dead Fast had been a hologram made by Ghoulia Yelps all along and designed to get Igorable away from his machine. Dead Fast made a quick run for the apparatus and destroyed it, then took off with Ghoulia as Igorable was given time to cry.
