Velocity the Panther

"I don't use my speed just to be fast. trust me.. I use it for MANY other reasons." Implying to a foe that he knows how to expertly use his speed.

"Don't blink."

"Fast is cliché. It's not about how fast, but what you do with that speed."

Cole, known as Velocity as his hero name, is a teenage member of the junior Mobian defense team known as The New Wings. Other than being fast and saving the day occasionally, his life is pretty normal.

Profile
Occupation: New Wing Member

Father: Ray Stryker/Midnight

Mother: Dawn

Appearance
Cole has yellow hair, and his eyes are green. His speed suit is golden and black, and it pretty much covers his whole body other than his head.

History
Velocity was born to the couple Ray and Dawn. He was later found out to have the meta ability of speed at the age of four, and his parents were glad to be able to bring him to the Divine of Speed every now and then in order for him to learn how to use his speed to his best potential.

By the age of 15, Cole wanted to form a meta hero league just for kids, since he was too impatient to wait until the age of 25 in order to join the Mobius Elite. The league was at first in secret, until a problem went haywire with one of the enemies. It turns out that the attack would've left the Mobius Elite in a crippled condition if it weren't for the works of the junior team. After some discussion, Velocity, and a few friends, were the young founders of a new teenage hero organization known as The New Wings.

Personality
Occasionally, he is very impatient, but otherwise, Cole is pretty a nice guy to hang around. He doesn't bother trying to hold in secrets about himself, because he does not like feeling weighed down by it. He is also very competitive about even the smallest thing, such as chess. However, he does show good sportsmanship whenever he does lose, claiming that he has all the time in the world to beat them again later.

He enjoys playing instruments, his favorite being the piano. He is a music composer, and spends his time making improvised quick five second songs every now and then, occasionally stretching the song to be many seconds to several minutes long.

In battle, he will usually try to avoid fighting as much as possible, moreso out of cockiness than anything else.

Speed Abilities
As his quote states, Cole would rather be known as super versatile rather than just fast. His abilities with speed prove it.

(Notice: These abilities are stated when Velocity has reached his peak in the series. He was initially many many times slower and lacking most of these abilities. I will edit when each of them happened and how powerful they got over time later on.)

Travel and Combat Speed
Cole is able to travel at speeds easily many times faster than light. He was stated to be able to react at Planck Time.

Accelerated Body Functions and Senses
Cole can think at speeds so fast, attempts mind abilities are normally useless if you're not fast as well. Cole can quickly understand the environment he is in and react accordingly. His healing process increased to the point where should he get injured, he can heal almost instantly.

Speed Aura
This allows Cole to travel at high speeds without causing damage to the environment, or any G force problems, able to pretty much ignore physics. However, if willingly disabled, things such as sonic booms and tailwinds can result in collateral damage of nearby environments.

Cole says he always runs FTL with his speed aura form on, because with it off, he would potentially destroy cities by running.

His speed aura is also the source of his durability, and is the reason he can survive the destruction of a large planet he had destroyed, as well as strikes from very powerful foes.

Flash Step
Cole can accelerate and decelerate so fast, to slower opponents, it may seem that he is teleporting. Bryce uses this to confuse enemies into where he will strike. By being this fast, Bryce can also give off after images of himself confusing his opponent even more.

Flowmotion
When striking one person, Bryce can immediately move to the next person and strike, and so on until he strikes all enemies. Once he finishes using this move, all the enemies feel the strike at the same time.

Double Jump
Cole's boot compresses air molecules at will, allowing him to jump in midair. The boots need an actual ground to recharge to in order for it to be used again, meaning Cole is limited to jumping once in midair.

Air Dashing
Similar to a homing attack, as long as there is a target to hit, Cole can pretty much remain infinitely in the air by attacking foes.

Tailwind Generation
Whenever something moves, air move in to take its place. You feel this when you are running as the air goes around your body, and you see it when a car travels by, and leaves and trash seems to be flowing in the same direction momentarily. However, when Cole is dashing without being in the speed aura, the air around him takes up space so quickly, it can move very heavy objects. This can be from Mobians, to cars, and at his best, even moving two grounded passenger jets out of the way of a collision.

Sound Barrier Striking
By not using his speed aura, Cole's supersonic punches can cause sonic booms. He can make decoy gunshot sounds, or momentarily deafen a foe.

Molecular Vibration
By moving his molecules at high speeds, Cole can phase through objects, go completely invisible, travel to other universes/dimensions, or, if he was destructive, use it to cause things to explode by messing with subatomic particles. He can even oscillate his molecules to cause vibrations equivalent to the epicenter of Magnitude 7 earthquakes.

Speed Strike
Cole can use his high speed to attack with higher power. When he runs fast enough, his fist could hurt powerful beings, such as Lord Daemon. This allows him to fight amongst others instead of just having a supporting role in defeating a powerful enemy.

Momentum Generation and Absorption
Should Cole's speed be stolen, he can always auto-generate his own speed over time. He can also counter by stealing speed himself, allowing him to stop falling debris in midair to save civilians, or freeze enemies in place. He also stops momentum and compacts atoms to the point where he can make air shields from physical strikes. He can even lend some of his momentum to others, so they have temporary speed as well. This speed generation works down to the atoms, allowing Cole to even unfreeze people from frozen time, accelerate their healing, let them phase through objects, and even allow them to enter different universes and dimensions.

Speed Elements
By moving at high speeds, Cole can be able to create mini tornadoes and generate electricity. He can kick tornadoes and throw lightning, he can use his speed to freeze an environment cold or run to the point of having intense heat from the sheer speed of molecular vibration.

Due to bring able to handle said abilities, Cole has grown a high resistance to lightning, ice, and fire abilities.

Temporal Time
Cole can move so fast that time seems to stop. His speed can warp reality to slow down time or speed up time. He is immune to the affects of time itself, even to the point where someone had gone back in time to kill him as a baby, and he wasn't affected by it. Another moment of this ability was whem he entered the god realm, a place transcending the concept of time. Cole can and has even reverse the flow of time, making everything move backwards.

Soul Speed
Cole's body can move incredibly fast, but his soul is slightly faster, meaning his body must catch up to his soul. Cole can use this ability to get to places where he couldn't get to in his physical body, such as bypassing force fields, god shields, and even containment environments.

Decelerated Aging
Not only can Cole live longer than normal, he can lend this to others as well.

Flaws
Cole usually holds back a lot at the start of a fight unless he is pissed. He usually starts off fights at sub sonic speeds to see how fast his opponent is.

Cole is sometimes impatient, and will rush ahead without a plan. Due to the fact that their enemy forces are usually too strong to take on one-on-one, this usually ends badly for Cole.

Cole reversing the flow of time is literally going too far against the laws of time, and the Divine of Time has, on both occasions, attempted to erase him after doing this. Both times, Cole narrowly escapes with his life.

Relationships

Trivia
It's pretty obvious by all of the abilities that Cole has references from multiple characters. No, the Flash and Sonic were not the only character.
