## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* **Superhuman Speed:** Javi is capable of moving at tremendous hypersonic speeds, an ability so powerful that his movements are invisible to the naked eye. Javi ran around Dubai many times in less than 10 seconds, effortlessly dodged all of Phantom Ninja's attacks, saved Ana Maria from bullets, and even dodged some attacks from Hashim Rwashdeh, Marwan Ahmad, and Corrupted Shreikov. This shows that Javi is faster than super-powered humans, though not by much, since Hashim and Shreikov did manage to hit him a few times, albeit Javi may not have been using his full speed. In addition, the intensity of Javi's speed allows him to deliver superhumanly strong attacks, as well as to run along vertical surfaces, across the surface of water, through solid matter and into other dimensions of the Multiverse.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Javi possesses reflexes far greater than those of a human. This allows him to easily react to danger and events and perceive the world in slow motion. His reflexes are faster than normal people can even perceive. Hence, Javi was able to easily dodge the knives thrown at him by Marwan Ahmad, with it appearing to be moving at him in slow motion, and Marwan himself almost frozen in place from Javi's perspective. However, Hashim Rwashdeh and Corrupted Shreikov are shown to be capable of moving at a similar speed, able to nearly match Javi on several occasions, and outpace him on others.
	+ **Accelerated Perception:** This allows Javi to easily react to danger and events and perceive the world in slow motion.
* **Superhuman Momentum:** While moving at an accelerated speed, Javi generates superhuman levels of momentum, which allow him to enhance the force behind his attacks, impacts, and collisions, often propelling people and objects several feet, which Javi uses to compensate for his otherwise average physical strength. When holding onto non-speedsters as he moves, Javi has to carefully hold them in certain ways, to prevent them from getting whiplash. Hence, due to Javi being inexperienced at that, when he moves around while holding Aleks Antonijevic, the latter vomits from whiplash multiple times. After some training though, Javi gains more control, and is able to send some Robosassins flying a few feet after he collides with them at superspeed, and he manages to break through some of their body parts with superspeed punches.
	+ **Momentum Negation:** Javi can come to a full stop, despite the extreme inertia of his movements, such as when he stopped in a street, causing a traffic jam.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Javi, after some training, is able to coordinate his body enough to navigate while moving at superhuman speed. Thus, Javi managed to dodge most of the attacks from Marwan Ahmad and Corrupted Shreikov. This coordination, however, isn't an intuitive trait, as Javi was still initially a bit clumsy, sometimes tripping over himself mid-run.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Javi's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for extended periods without getting tired or weak.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Javi, while moving at superspeed, is capable of resisting tremendous kinetic impact forces that could easily crush or kill a human, without suffering any serious external or internal injuries. However, if he stands still, he is no more durable than a human,
* **Electricity Generation:** While moving at incredible speeds, Javi generates powerful bolts of electricity which can cause nearby technology to short-circuit or overload. Javi's lightning is powerful enough to make Corrupted Shreikov uncomfortable.
* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Javi's speed extends to him on a biological level, and thus, his metabolism functions faster than that of humans, which allows him to heal any injuries within a short time frame. Hence, Javi required only a few minutes to heal from getting shot in the chest by Marwan Ahmad.
