Powers and Abilities
The Nitroverse - The Nitroverse is a very much theorethical universe consisting almost entirely out of pure and unbridled energy. It is unknown how it is connected to this universe, however after an accident with an experimental superfuel, Ace was "Attuned" to this so-called Nitroverse, becoming a sorts of conduit between the two realities. The gateway goes both ways, with energy bleeding to and from the Nitroverse at immense quantities. There is however one Catalyst for the Nitroverse attunement to happen, and that is Motion. Maverick must remain in motion for his powers to work, else they're completely moot.
- Superspeed - The most evident aspect of the Nitroverse attunement is the ability to move about at impossible speeds. With a limitless supply of energy at his disposal, there is no theorethical limit to just how fast Maverick can run, however reality is slightly different. While running, any excess heat from friction and kinetic energy from nearby elements are completely absorbed back into the Nitroverse, safeguarding Maverick from the opposite forces and energies created from his power.
- Motion Invulnerability - As a result of opposite energies being absorbed into the Nitroverse, Maverick remains almost invulnerable as long as he's in motion. Newton's Second Law generally promises that punching someone at Mach 3 would sunder your own body as well, however due to the opposite energy bleeding off into the Nitroverse, Maverick doesn't have to worry about this refraction.
- Motion Energy Absorption - More obvious is that fact that as long as Maverick keeps running, he absorbs incoming energy into the Nitroverse. This includes all kinds of energy, including electricity and nuclear energy. This works to protect him even against energy projectors and blasters while at large.
- Altered Perception - Having actually been thrown head-first into the Nitroverse, Maverick's perception of time and space alters drastically whenever he's attuned to it. Instead of seeing the world through the naked eye, he reads it like a never-ending river of energies and energy flows that surrounds him at every turn. Thanks to this, he can maintain perfect understanding of his surroundings even while moving at speeds that the human eye wouldn't be able to keep up with.
Weaknesses
Uncertain Efficiancy - Not in the typical sense of the word, but rather the physical sense. It's still unclear just how much energy that can be actually bled off into the Nitroverse. Is it as much energy as exerted upon by Maverick? Is it more, or less? Is there an upper limit? All these uncertainties have Ace's older brother strictly forbidding Ace from pushing his limits, afraid that if he would go beyond them he might end up being pulled into the Nitroverse or just simply be disintegrated.
- Gottagofast! - Maverick's powers are all tied to him being in motion. If he is somehow caught and unable to move, then his powers become absolutely moot.
- Slipper Slope - Anti-friction materials can be a real hassle for Maverick, as he only maintains the necessery friction to keep moving forward at high speeds. A sudden drop in friction on a surface will send him careening off to the side with ease.
- Magic and Mind - Maverick possesses no particular defenses against mystic forces or mental assaults, though the latter can be somewhat hampered by his own magnanimous ego.
