Speedwagon Foundation

The **Speedwagon Foundation**, often abbreviated as **SPW**, is an American based organization that was founded in 1910 by Robert E. O. Speedwagon. The organization was originally founded upon oil drilling, but has now dedicated its efforts towards medical science and environment preservation.

However, the Speedwagon Foundation also has hidden facilities dedicated to the research of supernatural entities. They are known to assist the Joestar family with any needs they have.

## Founding

Robert E. O. Speedwagon was born in the slums in London and became a common street thug. However, the gang that he was in attacked a young wealthy man who was wandering the streets at night, that man fended off every one of his attackers without severly wounding anyone. Speedwagon, recongnizing this man's restraint and kindness, declared he would help him in his journey. This man was Johnathan Joestar.

Speedwagon traveled with Joestar back to his home estate, where they confronted Joestar's adoptive brother Dio Brando for poisoning their father. Dio, cornered and exposed, utilized a Stone Mask that was ornamentally displayed in the Joestar Estate, and turned himself into a Vampire. After nearly being killed by the vampire Dio, Speedwagon watched as Joestar and Dio fought eachother nearly to the death, with Joestar appearing the final victor.

However, it soon became known that Dio survived the encounter and continued to threaten Joestar and his family. Speedwagon accompanied Joestar in his travels to hunt down Dio, growing closer to him as a friend and learning about The Ripple and other supernatural phenomenon.

Once Joestar finally defeated Dio, they returned home, where Joestar was wed and began to travel to America. Speedwagon saw them off and remained in London for some time. While Joestar was killed by the head of Dio, Speedwagon traveled to America himself to help Joestar's wife and new born child. There he found an untapped oil preserve and soon found the Speedwagon Foundation.
