Speedster (fiction)

A speedster is a superhero whose powers primarily relate to superspeed. Primary abilities shared by all speedsters include running at speeds far in excess of human capability (to varying degrees) and resistance to the sideffects (air resistance, inability to breath, dynamic shock resulting from contact with objects at high speed, etc.) that result from such velocity. In almost all cases, speedsters are able to physically attack opponents by striking them while at high speed to impart huge amounts of kinetic energy without suffering harm, although this has on rare occasion been lampshaded by characters discovering that they cannot do this and suffering severe injury from the attempt. A variety of other powers have been attributed to speedsters depending on the story, the origin of the power, and the established continuity and rules of a given universe.
