Speedster

Power Speedster
Total Entries 75
Representative Quicksilver
When it’s not incorporated with “Flight”, it’s at least the next best thing. Super speed means “super” speed. Those with super speed are not just faster than your average human (Otherwise, they might as well be cheetahs). They’re faster than a speeding bullet. The term “speedster” is used to refer to characters that have super speed as their specialization. Whether it’s permanent or only for a single TV episode or comic book issue, whether it’s from being struck by a lightning bolt, defying forces like gravity and air resistance, or using “Super Serum”, “speed” usually only manifests through running. However, several teen and kid heroes have used it to quickly clean up after a wild house party or to finish in five minutes all that homework that had to be put off to defeat the “Monster of the Week”… ~ Super-Speed – TV Tropes
