After her defeat by Wonder Woman, Mayfly's employer repaid her failure by boosting her power; she soon found that she couldn't stop or slow down, and eventually ran into a wall. Unlike Quicksilver, she did not "pinball"...she just died.Erichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083091864939104540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-26891780802380550062008-12-16T18:38:00.000-06:002008-12-16T18:38:00.000-06:00When they run super-fast, their skin exudes a micr...When they run super-fast, their skin exudes a micro-thin layer of super-speed-glue that holds the costume in place and keeps it from disintegrating.<BR/><BR/>Listen, if you all drank as heavily as I do in the afternoon, a whole lot of things would make sense to <I>you</I>, too !<BR/><BR/>I take it that particular <I>Avengers</I> comic had Wanda running the coffee machine instead of Jan.

Then we see them race across town and they're not winded or have paused at any point for a breather. The only time I can remember someone with super-speed addressed how impractical the power would be Donald Duck as Super Snooper.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987383774108570495noreply@blogger.com
