'''Superior physical speed''' is the [[ability]] to move faster than would normally be possible for a human being.

==Characters==
<u>'''Confirmed'''</u>
* [[Daphne Millbrook]] has this ability.
* [[Peter Petrelli]] has absorbed this ability from someone in a [[exposed future|possible future]], where several people have this ability.
<u>'''Future'''</u>
* An [[agent (enhanced speed)|agent]] in a [[Explosion Future|possible future]] has this ability.
* [[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Future Peter]] has [[empathic mimicry|absorbed]] this ability from the agent.
* In another [[Villains future|possible future]] where abilities can be [[genetic modification formula|induced]], several people demonstrated this ability.

==Limits==
===[[Daphne]]===
[[Daphne]] has the ability to run at super speeds. She can zip around the world in very little time; she has visited [[Tokyo]], [[Paris]], and [[New York City]] faster than is humanly possible. Daphne's speed does not only manifest itself in her feet, but also in her hands. Indeed, she often uses her speed to steal objects of great worth, and has found that her swiftness makes her a formidable fighter, despite her lack of natural talent in defeating others. Daphne can run so fast that she is even able to leap between buildings.

Daphne's ability also allows her to move at normal speed when [[space-time manipulation|time is drastically slowed]], as was demonstrated in her first encounter with Hiro Nakamura. However, when not moving at super speed, she isn't immune to time-stopping effects. (''[[Dying of the Light]]'')

Daphne can [[ability extension|extend her ability]] to at least one other person, allowing them to move with her at super speed without harm. (''[[Dying of the Light]]'')

It is interesting to note that when using her power, Daphne leaves behind a visible, tangible "speed trail" that roughly resembles Daphne in terms of color. When Hiro catches up with Daphne in their first encounter, the speed trail disappears. It is unknown what this trail is made of.

===[[Peter]]===
Upon absorbing [[Daphne_Millbrook_(exposed_future)|Daphne's]] ability, [[Peter]] was able to use a quick burst of speed to knock [[Claire_Bennet_(exposed_future)|Claire]] out before she could react. He was also able to block Daphne from attacking him, causing them to crash through a door, but was not adept enough to defend against her repeated high-speed attacks.
===[[Agent (enhanced speed)|Future Agent]]===
The [[agent (enhanced speed)|female team member]] from the future can move at superhuman speed, but just how much faster she can move than a normal person is not known. When running at high speed, she can use her momentum to run on a wall several feet from the ground. With the help of another agent, her high-speed attacks kept [[Peter Petrelli (future) (I)|Future Peter]] too stunned to fight back. It is unknown whether or not the agent, like Daphne, is immune to [[space-time manipulation|time-stopping]] effects.

===[[Peter Petrelli (future) (I)|Future Peter]]===
[[Peter Petrelli (explosion future)|Peter]] from the [[Explosion Future|future where New York exploded]] [[empathic mimicry|absorbed]] this ability from the agent. After acquiring super speed, Peter was capable of catching her. Peter was already immune against [[space-time manipulation|time-stopping]] effects before mimicking her power.

==Notes==
* In a [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18602 question and answer session]], writer [[Chris Zatta]] theorized that Daphne is able to travel to Europe (''[[Sum Quod Sum, Part 1]]'') by running quickly over the surface tension of the water.
