Powers[]
Speed Physiology: Leonardo's body is adapted towards the rigors of high-speed running. His cardiovascular and respiratory systems are many times more efficient than those of a normal human being. He metabolizes an estimated 95% of the caloric energy content of foodstuffs (normal humans use about 25%). The chemical processes of Quicksilver's musculature are so highly enhanced that his body does not generate fatigue poisons, the normal by-products of locomotion, which force the body to rest. Rather, his body constantly expels waste products during his accelerated respiration through exhalation. His joints are smoother and lubricated more efficiently than those of a normal human being. His tendons have the tensile strength of spring steel. His bones contain unknown materials significantly more durable than calcium to withstand the dynamic shocks of his feet touching the ground at speeds a human could never achieve or withstand. Quicksilver's lachrymose is more viscous than normal, thus preventing rapid evaporation and replenishment of surface fluids on his eyeballs under the influence of high wind velocity to occlude his vision.
- Superhuman Speed: He can run across the Atlantic Ocean and to overseas continents without having to stop, but he needs room to accelerate. he has been observed reaching Mach 5 (3,800 miles per hour), outrunning Thor's lightning bolts, running from Tibet to Indonesia in a few seconds, or covering half the Earth's distance in 92 seconds. He has traveled around the world by running on top of the ocean water and even ran all the way up Mount Everest without slowing down, flying above cloud level as a result.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Quicksilver's practical reaction time is several times faster than a normal human's and the speed at which his brain processes information is heightened to a level commensurate with his bodily speed, enabling him to perceive his surroundings while traveling at high velocities. Even in his earliest appearances he could perform feats of incredibly fast reaction-time, such as dodging a close range optic blast from Cyclops. He is able to move in a picosecond, even with a concussion.
- Speed Learning: He can process information at superhuman speeds, enabling him to read hundreds of books in a matter of minutes or teach himself to play a musical instrument in a matter of moments. Learning in this fashion however, is not permanent, and the knowledge will fade in days, if not hours if the knowledge is complex. It is unknown where the cut-off is between normal learning and superhuman speed learning.
- Superhuman Agility: His physiology grants him agility that is above average compared to a normal human.
- Superhuman Durability: Leo's bones are super-durable, granting him great blunt impact resistance. Quicksilver's body hardens under immense pressure as a process known as the dilatancy phenomenon, making him resistant to friction and high-speed collisions.
- Accelerated Metabolism: Leo's metabolism is more than 15 times that of a normal human being, thus enabling him to heal much faster than normal and have an extended health and longevity. It also means he burns through alcohol quicker.
- Superhuman Stamina: His cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems are far more efficient than human norms. His body generates virtually no fatigue poisons.
- Superhuman Strength: Quicksilver's strength is slightly superhuman, sufficient to lift 1,000 lbs and leg-press one ton.
- Navigation: Quicksilver can sense vibrational patterns in his environment that enable him to always find magnetic north. This allows him to navigate and change course instinctively despite blurring at high speeds or lack of landmarks, like over open ocean.
- Molecular Acceleration/Destabilization: His mutation has allowed him to vibrate his molecular structure at high speeds. He has demonstrated the full effect which enables him to destabilize atomic matter by accelerating the target object's molecule structure, often causing it to fall apart or explode usually by touching it.
- Intangibility: Leo can also use molecular destabilization to walk through solid objects.
Abilities[]
Multilingual: In addition to French and Dutch, Leo is fluent in English and Russian.
Skilled Combatant: He has been trained in martial arts and other forms of combat by multiple allies making him an excellent fighter.
Limitations[]
Leonardo is susceptible to all human vulnerabilities though he heals much faster than a baseline human.
