Tracer
The first Tracer was a supervillain from Angor, a duplicate of Earth in another dimension. He is later killed when the Extremists destroy Angor, with Dreamslayer creating an android duplicate to replace him.[1][2]
Tracer Robot
The second Tracer is a robotic duplicate of the first who was created by inventor Mitch Wacky on Angor as part of a theme park attraction. It battles Justice League Europe before being defeated and exhibited in Madame Clouseau's Wax Museum in Paris. He is later used by Dreamslayer a second time on the island of Kooey Kooey Kooey, and still later as pawns of Twilight in a battle with Supergirl. The Tracer robot had all the powers of the original Tracer which included great strength, speed, and agility, enhanced senses and animal instincts.[3]

A third incarnation of Tracer appears in the Countdown to Final Crisis tie-in series Lord Havok and the Extremists. This version is Vincent Cade, a soldier who was injured after a failed attempt to desert his post and subsequently gained superpowers from government experiments.
