## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Speed Force connection/Meta-human physiology:** Johnny's powers comes from his connection to the Speed Force, gained when struck by lightning and exposed to several chemicals. This altered and supercharged his DNA, cells and neurotransmitters. It also augmented his bones, joints, tissue and entire physiology well-beyond peak human condition to easily handle the rigors of his powers. High-level friction, inertia, air pressure, reduced oxygen, vectors, and kinetic impact no longer affect him, making him one of the most powerful beings in the entire multiverse.
	+ **Accelerated healing factor:** Johnny's molecules move at accelerated rates, mending damage far quicker and more efficiently than normal humans.
	+ **Electrokinesis:** Johnny can produce yellow electricity, a physical manifestation of Speed Force energy, from his body. It is commonly seen when running to boost his already immense speed to far higher levels. This energy can be focused into his strikes, generating enough force in his strikes to greatly harm super durable foes without any harm to himself. Alternatively, its intensity can interfere with surrounding electronics and overwhelm electric-absorption.
	+ **Superhuman durability:** Johnny possesses superhuman resilience, most commonly seen from being unaffected by momentum build-up. He can take impacts relatively unfazed that would easily kill normal humans.
	+ **Superhuman mental process:** Johnny's powers also augment his electro-chemical systems, nerve synapses, and brainwaves, and thought process. Granting him an eiditic memory and perfect recall, he takes in and retain information just as fast and efficiently. Even while using his raw speed, he can clearly think, react to events, and perform actions long before normal humans can perceive them. This lets him learn in a small fraction of the normal time, able to change his entire strategy in an instant and familiarize himself with advanced new knowledge within seconds.
	+ **Superhuman speed:** Johnny can move at such vast speeds. He can run across vertical structures and ceilings, over stretching seas, effortlessly catch speeding projectiles, complete his several daily activities in seconds and even casual walking can go unnoticed by normal individuals.
		- **Interdimensional travel:** Johnny can move fast enough to break open portals between dimensions, allowing him to travel to different universes.
		- **Superhuman agility:** Johnny has demonstrated flawless coordination, equilibrium and dexterity. He can change direction with immediate sharp turns without sliding or losing balance and instantly stop running on the spot. He can jump and run along falling debris and launch himself tremendous distances without build-up.
		- **Superhuman momentum:** Johnny can generate great amounts of physical force through kinetic energy, simulating superhuman strength, even in a stationary position. Even little exertions from this build-up can generate tremendous force, able to knock a person out. He can propel himself to jump tremendous heights and distances. He can also create substantial frictional force with any object he touches, and exert enough force to hurl people into the air. This seemingly negates the weight of his target, able to move about as if targets are frozen, even in mid-air.
			* **Bodily vibration:** Johnny can vibrate his body for various effects. This can mask his form from being clearly perceived or distort his vocal cords to disguise his voice.
			* **Invisibility:** Johnny can vibrate his body so fast that that he can no longer be perceived by the human eye.
		- **Superhuman stamina:** Johnny can handle the stresses of extreme racing without noticeable distress, letting him function much longer than normal humans unhindered, showing no change in breathing or pulse after hours of constant exertion.
		- **Superhuman strength:** Due to the tremendous amounts of Speed Force energy in his body, Johnny's physical strength has been heightened beyond that of normal humans, able to carry multiple individuals at once while speeding away with them. When charging his momentum, he could smash through machinery with his bare hands or send opponents flying through the air.

#### Weaknesses

* **Cold temperatures:** Because speed is produced by a build-up of heat in the target's atoms, Johnny is vulnerable to extreme cold temperatures. Under these conditions, Johnny's speed will be greatly reduced. Also, direct exposure to such cold will temporarily stunt his healing capacities.
* **Hyper-metabolism:** While moving at superhuman speeds, Johnny burns calories much faster than a normal person. While breaking down food far more efficiently, it requires him to consume large amounts of nutrients. Continued usage of his speed while deprived renders him disoriented and weak before ultimately passing out from low blood glucose. Also, he is unaffected by sedatives as he burns through them too quickly to have any affect.
* **Power-dampening tech:** Initially, Johnny's powers can be weakened, even neutralized, by specially designed tech that affects his resonance field.

## Behind the scenes
