This article is about the Speed power pool. For information on movement speed, see Limits or Travel Powers.

Overview

Speed is one of the powersets. It is one of the sets of Power Pools available to all heroes and villains. These powers allow you to commit great feats of speed. Most notably Super Speed, one of the four main Travel Powers.

With the 60 month City Traveler Badge Veteran reward, players are able to pick Flurry, Hasten, and Super Speed starting from level 6 in any order without any prerequisite. Whirlwind remains a level 20 power choice, and requires two prerequisites before selection.

Power Table

The following table shows which powers are available and at what level:

	Power	Level	Effect
	Flurry	6	Moderate Damage (Smashing) Foe Disorient (minor)
	Hasten	6	Self +Recharge
	Super Speed	14	Toggle: Self +Speed (Minor Stealth)
	Whirlwind	20	Toggle: PBAoE, Foe Knockback

Super Speed

You can run at super-human speeds! While running at such speeds, you are a blur, and many foes will not even notice you as you speed past them. If you attack a target while this power is on, you will temporarily be slowed to normal speed. You must be at least level 14 and have Flurry or Hasten before selecting Super Speed.

You spin around at an amazing speed to create a Whirlwind around yourself. Any foes that enter this Whirlwind will be tossed into the air. You must be at least level 20 and have two other Speed Powers before selecting Whirlwind.

Recharge	Moderate
