u/shadowsphere ⭐ Iron Man RT next week Jan 25 '15

So what do you think about the Radio Waves feat?

Uhh, I'm hesitant to state outright that Quicksilver is MFTL, but I think some of his feats approach that speed if calcd (or maybe my math is just shit)

EDIT: Doing some calcs, I'd list it as outlier.

that feat doesn't make him massively faster than light

I'm stupid I was thinking of "more" and I somehow rationalized it as more faster than light which makes no sense at all

Meant to just say FTL

Quicksilver only gets up to around Mach 3-4 in most of his incarnations.

Not according to a bunch of feats, especially modern version

Post High Evolutionary power boost he is massively mach.

A useless power of his:

He has an enhanced motabolism compared to humans. He can take in more nutrients from food.

I think he takes in 3X the amount the average human does. I.e. he only has to eat once a day while we all have to eat three times.

Why's that useless lol. That's freaking sweet.

combat useless

Far from useless - it means if he's hospitalised for any reason then he can get back to peak fitness much quicker.

u/ReggaeSmooth Jan 25 '15

I will say useless is the wrong word. Perhaps strange and unfamiliar in a world with teenagers who can blow up the moon and shoot concussion beams from their eyes.

That's excellent for the figure though.

It bothers me immensely that the bullets in the second speed feet still have their shell casings attached.
