If Adam-16, Jamie-16, and the Build Team-16 don't have superpowers and mastery of supertech from all their testing by now, it means they probably have some sort of reality-warping or probability-altering superpower.
Is it true that you can get superspeed using pickles, broccoli, mercury and titanium?
In the Undocumented Features stories, Adam is Kryptonian, Jamie is a Jedi Knight, Kari is the same race as Phantom Girl from Legion of Superheroes (natural phasing power), and I believe Tori was supposed to be that reality's equivalent of Ultra Boy (also of the Legion, most of Superman's powers, but only able to use one at a time). Grant didn't have powers, but probably fell into the super-tech slot, I can't recall if it was stated.
Thank you, corrected.

Only the SI will not get it..? What about Gravy?
Hmm. Considering humans are compatible with the Garrick formula, obviously, it would probably be a really good idea to select human candidates for the OLC, then dose them with Garrick formula once they've gotten through basic training. The SI might not be able to take advantage of super speed + power ring, but there's no reason given as of yet that others can't.
He's immune. New God unchangeability; his Velocity doses kept lasting a shorter and shorter time until as far as I know it doesn't work at all on him anymore.
That keeps him from using a chemical/potion to achieve super speed, but there could be some other thing to up his speed. Like a localized temporal accelerator or something.
"Ooh, lots of corrosion resistant high purity steel! It's too bad about the people, but so much metal!"
They probably didn't really notice it very much. We're talking about hundreds of ships, scattered across a region bigger than the land surface of the Earth.
Basically. They're used to surface ships sometimes sinking, and the Atlantean population is fairly concentrated in cities. There are huge areas of ocean floor where they're not really aware of things.
I don't know, the fact that an empath said he pulses with love whenever he mentions her might help him a fair bit.
Would it be though?
I realize now that it isn't entirely clear, but I wrote the comment you quoted saying that superspeed alone would be more broken than the ring, at least for fights. Both is just stupid overkill.
Punches still work correct, even if they aren't as strong as they should be? Holding a small knife would make for an incredibly deadly weapon.
Problem with that is that a Superspeedster shouldn't be able to use a blade in the first place.I'm uncertain that's true. One of the reason blades work in super speed is because there aren't any moving parts. Squirt bottles are notorious for breaking if you try to apply force to them too fast. It'd work better to have ampoules that can be cracked open and splashed in an arc -- and given that KF is an alchemist, I'm PRETTY sure this isn't a problem for him.
He could just stop in front of them to spray. Doesn't need to happen at super speed.I'm uncertain that's true. One of the reason blades work in super speed is because there aren't any moving parts.

Also I'm not sure if capsaicin to the eyes would incapacitate Kon.
And Kaldur might be able to water-bend himself some relief.
Why does this not apply to the clothes, armor, or food items KF has on him whenever he runs? He ran just fine with that heart in his backpack in Coldhearted, so I don't see why a small knife would operate under completely different principles.
He carried those things on his back, so they would have been in the slipstream created by his body.
Okay, so he just has to Naruto-run while carrying it and develop a fighting style centered around running past people with a knife out. Or put Batman blades on his arms (shame the Wolverine Claws are platform-exclusive) Or aim for the soft spots at a slightly less super speed.
This is also pretty dang valid, though I didn't think anyone intended the knife's effectiveness to be strictly enhanced by the speed so much as for the speedster's effectiveness to be enhanced by the knife, the same way a non-speedster would be, all else being equal. Incidentally, this setting has other ways to enhance a blade (X-ionization being the gold standard, so to speak) and the benefits would stack.
