Powers
Pietro's basic power is superhuman speed; his entire body is adapted to that end. His top maintainable speed is Mach 5, and he can run at this speed for about four straight hours before fatigue sets in, though unless he's in a particular hurry he keeps himself a safe distance below the sound barrier so as to avoid inconvenient sonic booms. Pietro's thought processes and reaction time are similarly accelerated; strictly speaking, he's not a genius-level intellect, but he thinks so quickly that it's hard to tell. This also makes his thoughts difficult for a telepath to read--it's like watching a movie on fast-forward, specific thoughts are almost impossible to pinpoint but general trends can usually be determined. He can dodge gunfire, create cyclone gusts, and with a head start run up walls or across open water. He has been toying recently with the possibility of using supersonic shockwaves offensively, but had not yet moved beyond the theoretical stage before fleeing the Brotherhood.
Pietro's bones, tendons, and muscles are many times more durable and efficient than a normal human's, and his metabolism operates at an enhanced rate; it's almost impossible for him to get drunk, and he recovers from injuries extremely quickly. This is normal healing, however, not a healing factor; for injuries like broken bones that require medical attention in order to heal correctly, Pietro will require the necessary attention almost immediately, before his speedy physiology screws up the process. He also processes medication (such as painkillers) so quickly that routine measures like surgical anesthetic become ordeals in themselves. Despite all that, he eats only about as much as a normal human; his digestive system allows him to metabolize far more energy than most people do out of the same amount of food.
