The Fastest Man Alive

Superspeed is a mind-fuck because there are so many ways to interpret the ability to traverse distance and time. Is it the slowdown of your surroundings or the acceleration of one's self?  What impact does that have on everything else that isn't expecting a time warp?



I don't remember the details of the series, but Joe Quesada & Josh Middleton's NYX had a really cool character named Kiden that manipulated time like I'd imagine superspeed would work.  I think her power had something to do with stopping time altogether or stepping into a zone...?

Okay.  Just checked wikipedia and it says "Time Manipulation (Ability to enter a faster, personal, timestream she calls "No-Time")".  I guess that's sorta like what I'm doing with the Runner except mine'll function more like bullet-time.
