I think speedsters come second only to magicians in inconsistently portrayed powers. Sometimes they are like gods and sometimes they get hit on the back of the head by some thug. To save you the math, 71" Flight with a 12 speed and x2^21 non-combat comes out to 185,081 miles per second (yes, he has to push to go faster than the speed of light). =============================================================================== Character write-up by Sam Bell.
