I don't know how anyone can watch the Quicksilver segments from the X-men movies and not be hot for speed.

I'm a Lazy fatass, I don't wanna run all the time. I'll take telekinesis

I mean, okay, relatable, but people with superspeed rarely seem to be suffering for using it? I suppose w could be talking about bounded speed, where you get access to superspeed but have to train for it...

In invincible there is a guy that lives so fast everything in his life is too slow so he can't concentrate in anything. I guess you can turn this superspeed on and off.

I'd much rather prefer the invisibility because I can just go to a bank and take some bills, put them in my mouth and launder them later. I don't want to be rich, just live confortably

I already can't concentrate on anything. Checkmate, atheists!

But OP said it isn't isolated to just running.

You could eat super fast, too. Maybe even shit super fast and shoot people with it. A hot dog eating contest could make you a living LMG.
