Capabilities[]

The user’s speed is at the highest limit of human potential. They are much faster than Olympic class runners, enabling them to run at 45 km/h (28 MPH) - 65 km/h (40 MPH) and swim at 15-20 knots.

This speed allows the user to be significantly faster than other humans. They are able to chase/outrun wolves, racehorses, and vehicles. They are fast enough to run on walls for exceptionally long periods of time, sprint across small bodies of water, and even move fast enough to appear to teleport short distances or disappear from the eyes of an observer.

They can take down small groups of people in seconds before they can react. They can dodge bullets fired at point-blank ranges and outrun horizontally-moving lines of gunfire coming from rapid-fire weapons, such as machine guns.

Applications[]

Associations[]

Levels[]

  • Peak Human Speed - Users can move as fast as humanly possible. They can reach a level of speed of 45 - 65 km/h. They are as fast as moving vehicles like cars, trucks, and wild animals and are fast enough to dodge projectiles and run on walls for an exceptional period of time.
  • Enhanced Speed - Users can move faster than peak humans, but not at high superhuman levels. They can move much faster than the maximum speed reached by members of their species and reach a speed level of up to 66-1235 kph, moving at subsonic or transonic speeds. They can move faster than a blink of an eye and reach almost the speed of sound.
  • Supernatural Speed - User can move blatantly faster than other people in their universe, reaching into high superhuman territory.
    • Type I: Users can move at a speed of 617 - 6174 kph, beyond subsonic speed and reaching hypersonic speed at their fastest.
    • Type II: Users can move at a speed of 6175 - 1.0793e+7 kph, beyond hypersonic speed and reaching relativistic speed at their fastest.
    • Type III: Users can move faster than relativistic speed. They can move near, at, or beyond the speed of light.
    • Type IV: Users have infinite speed. They are able to move indefinitely while time literally stands still, circling and traveling anywhere instantly within the infinite universe. Teleportation does not count.
    • Type V: Users have "immeasurable" speed. Their speed cannot be measured as they can move beyond linear time. Given that Speed = Distance divided by Time (S = D/T), if Time is undefined the speed formula cannot be applied. However, immeasurable speed is superior to infinite speed, which is defined as movement in zero time. The difference between those two is that beings that can travel at infinite speeds can go everywhere instantly, whereas beings that can travel at immeasurable speeds can go everywhere and everywhen faster than instantly. It's like when users manage to instantly reach the beginning or the end of the infinite universe that virtually has no beginning or the end because of its infinity with their speed.
  • Absolute Speed - Users have absolute speed which transcends both levels of speed infinitely and absolutely, this is what makes it absolute. Users are beyond to the concepts of speed and the dimensions of time and space itself.

Limitations[]

  • Users' speed is not classified as Enhanced Speed.
  • May be easily defeated by beings with Supernatural Speed, while users of Absolute Speed can defeat them without a problem.
  • Users are vulnerable to others that own either Speed Cancellation, or Speed Theft.
  • Users are vulnerable against Gravity Manipulation due to the change in body weight.
  • Like all physical powers a user will usually slow down and become less effective with age (starting in mid-30s or so, in most verses) unless they are an Old Prime or have some other superhuman ability to counter the ageing process.
