**** That doesn't make any sense. If Jason can show evidence that "super speed" is a common name and "enhanced speed" is not, then I think we should change it. That said, I don't think this is the case so it should stay the same.--[[User:MiamiVolts|MiamiVolts]] ([[User_talk:MiamiVolts|talk]]) 17:00, 16 December 2007 (EST)

***** Well, common or not, doesn't it make sense to change all "Enhanced"'s to "Super" to keep up with Super Strength, since Super Strength is canon?--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 17:03, 16 December 2007 (EST)

Exert greater force?

  • Exerting greater force wouldn't make you run faster. It would make you jump higher. At best, it could give you some kind of gigantic stride, but it's not gonna help you run up walls.--Hardvice (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Super speed

  • The power the agent exhibits is super speed. Common names come before descriptive names. Therefore we HAVE to change it. It is all in the power naming convention. Am I wrong? *eats pie to cope with Heroes withdrawl* Jason Garrick 16:30, 16 December 2007 (EST)
    • I'm not sure where they "enhanced speed" and "enhanced strength" are not common names comes from. I think it is, as "Hippolyta" and "Ant" both use "enhanced" instead of "super".--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:52, 16 December 2007 (EST)
      • It's all the same to me. And judging from the general disdain the community has towards power name changes at the moment, I'd rather not stir up anything for what I consider to be an even trade. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:54, 16 December 2007 (EST)
        • That doesn't make any sense. If Jason can show evidence that "super speed" is a common name and "enhanced speed" is not, then I think we should change it. That said, I don't think this is the case so it should stay the same.--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:00, 16 December 2007 (EST)
          • Well, common or not, doesn't it make sense to change all "Enhanced"'s to "Super" to keep up with Super Strength, since Super Strength is canon?--Riddler 17:03, 16 December 2007 (EST)
