* '''Deconstructed''': Bob, lacking the RequiredSecondaryPowers, is unable to use the full power of his speed since it'll cause massive collateral damage and seriously injure him the faster he goes. Thus, try to go full speed, and he'll end up gruesomely dying in the process causing more damage than ''any'' of his villains.
** Speedsters are considered almost unbeatable, due to being able to SpeedBlitz anything weaker than themselves and outrun anything stronger. as such they are greatly feared and loathed among supers.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob eventually dons a suit of PoweredArmor to help protect himself, letting him suppress the destructive elements of his speed whenever necessary.

Added DiffLines:

** While they're impossible to fight or catch fairly, speedsters can still be tricked and trapped. Slippery and unstable surfaces can also throw them off greatly, [[FragileSpeedster and the majority are no-more durable than an average human.]] While they're always a threat, they're far from invincible.


Added DiffLines:

** Bob can't slow his mind down, so finds every moment unreasonably long and boring.
