![]() ![]() That would mean that the animal has the consistency of sugar-glass, and all that strength is worthless. Beast Boy can turn his frail, teenage body into that of a T-Rex, and it’s not like he’s just ‘unfolding’ himself. This is without even going into the photographic memory you’d need to store all those faces and whip them out on a whim.Īnimal transformation comes with an even greater ability: the creation (or destruction) of matter, which you might remember from science class as being physically impossible. Either shape-shifters have massively enhanced senses that can copy and store details of a person from a quick glance, right down to their vocal chords and scent, or there’s some kind of magical shenanigans going on. She doesn’t just look like someone she acquires their every tiniest intricacies, without having studied their retinas and thumbprints earlier. Mystique has made a habit of this, often transforming into someone to trick a retinal scan, or a thumbprint sensor, which if you think about it is absolutely nuts. Main Use: Replicating the appearance of a person down to their clothing and/or changing oneself into any animal.īut actually… Most shape-shifters use their powers for infiltration at some point.

Flash should’ve seen that and had the equivalent of about seven hours to figure out a counter-plan. With a thought, the entire world is suddenly moving in a slow-motion so extremely slow that they might as well have stopped, giving you unlimited time to figure things out, or learn German in the time it takes to brush your teeth. If you have a decent amount of super speed, there’s no reason you should ever be taken by surprise, make the wrong decision or experience any panic whatsoever. It’s not just a sixth sense perception of where things are, either, as we see them burning through thick books in seconds and later retaining the knowledge. Still, there’s one power that is criminally underused, which is that speedsters have the ability to think thousands of times faster than us regular folks.Īlmost every speedster in existence has this ability it’s what lets them run around streets without smacking into cars and ending up a smear every time they tried to turn a corner. But actually… Super speed already comes with an impressive set of powers by itself, such as the power to not violently burst into flames due to friction and the ability to still breathe when moving at speeds exceeding Mach 5. ![]()
