    Does anyone else think we really didn't need another speedster. Unless its gonna only be an aspect of his powers, I think thats just kinda a poor idea.

    @kai95:
    At least if YOU'RE going to insult him, you could use the correct form of YOUR. 

    @jordama:


    I have to agree, that as one of the oh-so-coveted and highly anticipated Five Lights mutants, his powers should seem a little more.....impressive? 
    But speedsters ususally have an out in the "powers you've seen a hundred time" category: versatility. 
    Characters like Flash and Quicksilver have made a great career out of using their speed in interesting and unique ways.  
    I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what becomes of him.

    I know, hopefully they have a good reason for him having that power.

    So....when Hope touched him, did he gain control of his power or are we going to watch him die as every time he uses his power he experiences a month to a minute of time?

    I'm kinda sick of speedsters. But I do like that his power has some side-effects.

    Marvel doesn't have many speedsters.  I'll agree it's not an original power, but it's not exactly an over-used power... it's rarer than the multitude of reality warpers & the plethora of telepaths.

    Atleast when they made Speed they gave him a twist. So far Gabriel just runs fast. Northstar can fly and has blast powers when combined with Aurora. Surge has electrical powers that give her her super speed.

    It's definitely not an original power but I think it is a bit early. Maybe later his powers will change and we will see him doing different things.

    Tiem Manipulation is more interesting than super speed... but it means that he'll physically age faster than everyone around him.

    He's more original than some of the other lights, like Idie (someone who can control fire and ice... I know there are others. But I just can;t think) And the other one with like the feral personality or whatever?

    @jordama: I wouldn't say he was just another speedster, his power is more akin to Zoom in that he is not just fast he affects the time stream around him to make it look like he is going fast

    Sorry, My comments were from when he was originally introduced. before they gave the twist of time manipulation.

    Funny how he's gone from a potentially lame character to one of your favourites ;) But I guess his power is 'lame' to him, anyway... aging rapidly has got to be a real downer.

    @xerox_kitty:So he is aging everytime he uses his powers now? I know he aged a bit before Hope stabilise his powers but I haven't notice anything like this after it. But granted I have only read the first four issues of Gen Hope so far.

    @ComicMan24: Sorry, I don't know the exact details. I gave up on Gen Hope too. I'm sure Jordama will keep you up-to-date though :)

    He'd be a lot more powerful if he learned how to control his time-space powers. As is, he makes the entire area around his immediate person faster than normal time- which is why he couldn't run on water like other speedsters. The water was just as fast as he was, so he couldn't move across it before breaking the surface tension. If he could learn how to form his time powers into a multi-layered covering, he could accelerate his personal time-surroundings, regulate his body's age, and not affecting the time of his footing. I assume that other time-manipulating speedsters (Hunter Zolomon/"Zoom") manage these concepts subconsciously, which is how they can use the full range of speedster powers, and more.
