History: Fastback is one of the youngest New Gods, residents of the world New Genesis. Fastbak is a talented inventor, and his claim to fame are the aeropads that allow him to fly at superhuman speeds. Highfather, the ruler of New Genesis, once had his hands full with Fastbak, trying to discourage him from flying at top speeds through the city lest he hurt someone. Since then Fastbak has matured, and reins in his use of the aeropads.

(New Gods III #22 (fb)) - Fastbak patrolled the space around New Genesis and found that Steppenwolf was about to attack Supertown, breaking the pact between New Genesis and Apokolips. He flew to Highfather to warn him.

(New Gods III #1) - Darkseid sent Kalibak and a horde of Para-Demons to Earth to retrieve Eve Donner, Dave Lincoln and Wilson Gillmore, three Earthlings that held a part of the anti-life equation. Fastbak and a host of New Genesis gods resisted them, forcing them to flee, but not before activating a Morrow Block that sapped the lifeforce of Earth. The Morrow Block killed a number of New Genesis gods, including Jezebelle, before Orion destroyed it.

(New Gods III #16) - Metron and Fastbak explored the Caverns of the Old Gods on Apokolips and Fastbak was eager to learn about their history and how they perished from Metron. They came across a broken sword that thrummed with energy. Metron told Fastbak that it was too dangerous to leave on Apokolips, and told him to take it to Highfather. Darkseid became aware of the sword, and sent his minion Infernus to fetch it. Infernus overtook Fastbak, but he managed to open a Boom Tube and send the sword to Earth. Fastbak recovered, and reported to Highfather, after which they arrived via Boom Tube on Earth and reclaimed the sword from John Hedley, who was using its’ power inappropriately.

(New Gods III #27) - Fastbak made a patrol of Earth and found Anne Flaherty, a woman pursued by Darkseid for possessing a piece of the anti-life equation, so he reported back to Highfather.
