An immensely powerful speedster who leads a cult dedicated to the Speed Force, he is an enemy of the Flash and he has battled Wally West, Jay Garrick, and Barry Allen.

Discovering he could defeat the enemy by moving at super-speed, he became obsessed, naming himself after the Hindu deity Savitr and dedicating his life to unlocking its secrets.

He can protect himself in a null-inertia force field, give speed and kinetic energy to objects or people, even those in a "rest state", and he could also heal his own injuries almost instantly.

This encounter became a battle, the tide of which was turned with Max Mercury's arrival leading Savitar toward the Speed Force, but causing him to bounce off, both speedsters being thrown forward in time.

[6] In Infinite Frontier, it is revealed that Savitar survived and was trapped in the Speed Force, with its attempts to expel him causing an explosion that destroyed the Sanctuary center during Heroes in Crisis.
