Speed Grid (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The Speed Grid is the name given to an extra-dimensional plane of existence. Prince Sonic Hedgehog and his siblings possess connections (from strongest to weakest) to this plane, granting them access to their respective powers. It was created by their paternal ancestor, Queen Juliana.
==Capabilities==
Those with complete access to the Speed Grid (such as Sonic and his father Jules) are genetically altered, acting as conduits for its energy, granting them a lean, slender build in order to adapt to their speedster abilities.
Access to the Speed Grid grants speedsters tremendous hypersonic speed (though from their perspective, things appear to be moving in super slow motion), the intensity of which allows them to deliver superhumanly strong blows (via the incredible momentum generated at superspeed), as well as the ability to run up and along vertical surfaces, across the surface of water, through solid matter, into other planes of frequency, and even though time.
One minor drawback born of a speedster's connection to the Speed Grid is an accelerated metabolic rate, thus requiring a speedster to consume high amounts of calories in order to function normally whenever the speed is used (the reason why Sonic eats lots of chili dogs and other fast foods), as well as allowing them and others to heal and regenerate from any bone or flesh injuries without lingering side-effects within a short time span, even if those injuries are highly crippling/fatal. Sonic described himself as a "chili dog black hole" and a "fast food black hole" while describing his abilities. Speedsters can also vibrate their molecules at superspeed to break free from being encased in matter such as stone and ice, and also negate the effects of poison or venom.
Also, a speedster possesses agility, dexterity, balance, and bodily coordination on supermobian levels, allowing them to easily maneuver while running. However, their stamina often cannot withstand the stress of moving at superspeed for extended periods of time without growing tired or weak.
Finally, when moving at incredible speeds, a speedster generates bolts of lightning, which can cause electronic technology nearby to short-circuit, overload or even burst into sparks. According to Steve Urkel's files, Sonic and Jules (and Steve himself) can also charge the air vortexes that he generates with Speed Grid electricity, thereby further increasing his offensive and defensive capabilities.
Speed Grid energy refers to a special and highly potent form of energy that is generated inside of certain individuals of great power. As seen in Sonic and Jules' cases, their Speed Grid energy manifests as a vast and highly potent form of bio-electromagnetic energy that enhances their speed and power. Furthermore, when Sonic's Speed Grid energy gets built up, it has enough power to release an electromagnetic pulse across a landmass. Speed Grid energy-wielders like Sonic, or just one of his quills, can generate an unlimited amount of energy. In addition, Speed Grid energy seems to be generated excessively when the wielder feels strong emotions, similar to Raven's dark energy in the Teen Titans animated series.
Speed Grid energy-wielders can leave behind residues of their energy in objects they come into contact with. Further, residual Speed Grid energy can remain in existence for at least a decade and can be traced across entire galaxies.
==Weaknesses==
Several things can completely negate the power of the Speed Grid. One thing is pollution. If water is too polluted, Sonic can't move at all. Another thing is the dimension located inside the mirror in Worst Castle. The Speed Grid can also be temporarily disabled by Huntor's negative ion blaster.
==Speed Grid conduits==
*Queen Juliana - gained access after being struck by lightning and doused with a nearby mystical liquid.
*Sonic - gained access at birth, but learned to tap into it when he learned how to walk at one year old.
*King Jules - gained access at birth.
*Steve Urkel - gained access after inventing his Super Sneakers.
==Trivia==
*The Speed Grid is, in essence, a combination of the Speed Force from the DC Comics and the Morphin Grid of the Power Rangers television series. Both are limitless interdimensional energies that grant access to superhuman powers.
*The Mirror Dimension (located inside an ornately-decorated wall mirror in Worst Castle) is so far one of the only places in the Sonic Underground AU that can completely negate the Speed Grid's power. Another thing that can negtate it is pollution, especially extemely polluted water. Another thing that can disable the Speed Grid is the negative ion blaster used by Huntor.
