-->"No. The speed came first. I remember that from when I was little. I didn't fit it at the school in my uncle's village. Some bullies chased me, and I outran them easily. I started to run, a lot. One day I noticed was running faster than a car, and I kept getting faster, and I could jump higher. One time I decided to see how high I could jump, and I just didn't come down."

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In chapter 3 Asuka moved so fast that even Shinji was surprised. In chapter 12 she slapped Shinji and again he got stunned by her speed and surprised because her slap actually stung (even though he is nearly invulnerable). Then she ''tackled him'' before kissing him. A few chapters later [[spoiler:it was revealed her mother was an Amazon,]] so her greater-than-average strength and speed made sense.

Compare and contrast with ''Fanfic/SOE2LoneHeirOfKrypton'', another story where an Eva character gains Superman powers, and with ''Fanfic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K'', ''Fanfic/GodsAngelsAndKings'', ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'' and ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfAnElderGod'', other {{Crossover}} fics where Shinji becomes a {{Badass}} and/or gains powers due to circumstances that change his personality profoundly and turn him into TheHero... or an AntiHero.

* SuperStrength: Superman Shinji first demonstrates his superhuman strength when he defeats a massive eldritch monster with his bare hands.
-->She forced her eye open and she saw, through the Eva's eyes, as the impossible happened. The Angel stopped in its tracks, great spindly arms flailing, as if it were confused. For a moment, she wondered how, why the creature would stop in its relentless advance, stop trying to murder her and reach its goal. Then she spotted the tiny blue figure pushing against it, pushing it back. She willed the Eva and Eva answered her, tightening her view. This was not possible.\\
There was a person, and he was pushing the Angel back with ''his bare hands''. She gasped, the pain momentarily forgotten, as the tiny figure wound up, drew a fist back, and punched the Angel full on in the face. To her shock, it moved, it actually moved, he was pushing it back.

Before long Misato and Asuka realize that Shinji is quiet, soft-spoken... and one of the most caring, kindest and most compassionate persons they have ever met. Asuka cannot help to be drawn to him, but she also notices that he is anormally strong and seems to be hiding something.

Unbeknown to her, her own past also hids secrets... and the survival and freedom of humankind depends on Shinji, her and other people learning the secrets of their pasts and mastering powers and capabilities beyond human understanding.
