Biography
After Gypsy tracked down a breacher on Earth-2, she returned to Central City (Earth-19), confirming to Accelerated Man that she'd caught her, handing him her photos before he sped away.[2]
He later sped around the Collector Agency headquarters.[3] Due to the destruction of the multiverse and restoration of Earth-19 (new multiverse), his status is unknown, but he is most likely dead like everyone else of the former planet Earth (Earth-19). After the crisis he probably died.
Powers and abilities
Powers
Accelerated Man is accompanied by a trail of purple lightning when he runs.
- Speed Force connection/Meta-human physiology: It remains unclear on whether Earth-19 had a S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator explosion or how he otherwise gained his abilities if not through dark matter, but what's conspicuous is that with his apparent display of super speed, he has somewhat of a connection to the Speed Force that has possibly granted him access to the multiverse.[2]
- Superhuman speed: "Accelerated Man" has displayed his ability of superhuman speeds. The full limit of his capabilities is currently unknown.[2]
- Interdimensional travel: This ability becomes a relatively useful ability among speed conduits or as a member of the Collectors, however it remains unclear if he was able to pass the minimum threshold of speed required to create a breach allowing him to temporarily stabilize the inter-dimensional "corridors" that linked any one breach on Earth-19 with a corresponding breach on Earth-2, or if it was created from an external source.[2]
- Electrokinesis: Accelerated Man emits bolts of purple lightning when using super speed. It is unclear whether this is due to a connection to the Speed Force or an artificial source of speed such as a drug, as is the case with other known speedsters.[2]
- Superhuman speed: "Accelerated Man" has displayed his ability of superhuman speeds. The full limit of his capabilities is currently unknown.[2]
Equipment
- Accelerated Man suit: He wears a suit as his alter-ego, Accelerated Man.[2]
