She was protecting them, which we hadn’t anticipated, but she couldn’t do that and come after us.
I wonder if she’d do the same if Bonesaw hadn’t been one of them.
Or maybe she can. I saw Siberian virtually toss Bonesaw in the air, the girl wrapping her arms around the woman’s neck as she landed.
Dammit, I just decided against adding “also, are you sure?” to that last section.
Holding her two teammates, Siberian sprinted for Trickster and Regent. She was fast, but it was a speed borne of her peculiar powers, more enhanced strength than augmented acceleration. Not so different from Battery on that count.
I guess? I had assumed it was that she’s ignoring air resistance and any other effects that would slow her down.
Air resistance and inertia didn’t hamper her in the same ways. More than that, whatever it was that made her invincible and untouchable to any outside force, she had the ability to snap it out to affect any surface she touched.
Ohh, that makes sense. She’s essentially hardening the surface under her feet.
Her strength was virtually limitless, and the pavement didn’t shatter with her footfalls because she made it as untouchable as she was.
I suppose the “unstoppable force” part of her power description is actually a thing, not just an extension of the “immovable object” part.
So Siberian’s feet are applying an unstoppable force onto the pavement, which she’s turned into an immovable object. The reaction to that force, which is going to be equally unstoppable, drives her forward. She too is an immovable object, but she’s letting that reaction force move her.
No wonder she’s fast.
