Velocity X (Earth-Prime)

Sign in to edit

"Godspeeds are powered by a Velocity formula, a chemical Speed Force substitute."
—Chester P. Runk[src]

Velocity X is a serum that can increase a speedster's speed.

History[]

It was used to stop Frida Novikov by neutralising her powers to slow things down.[1]

Later, while Frost was hunting Millie Rawlins/Sunshine, Barry used it to give himself a temporary boost to try to help. However it quickly faded, changing his lightning to blue as well as losing his speed.[2]

In May 2020, a Godspeed clone arrived in Central City looking to steal the Velocity X serums from S.T.A.R. Labs. When he was locked up in Iron Heights, he revealed that he had been sent by someone who wanted access to "infinite velocity".[3]

Frost would later use it to temporarily become a speedster and attempt to take down Barry, who seemingly turned against Team Flash due to the artificial Speed Force's corrupting speed thinking ability.[4]

August Heart created a version of Velocity X in 2049, which gave him synthetic speed. However, this didn't make him fast enough, and he sought after organic speed, causing him to create multiple clones and send them back in time to siphon The Flash's speed.[5]

Functions[]

Frost emiting blue lightning

Frost emitting blue lightning, a side effect of using the Velocity X.

  • Power bestowal: Velocity X has the ability to give the user powers similar to speedsters. Even though she was not a speedster before, Frost briefly gained speedster powers after injection.
    • Speed augmentation: After injecting themselves with Velocity X, the serum can increase the speed of a speedster. The speed boost is only temporary, and will wear off quickly unless the user injects themselves with more.
  • Speed neutralization: Velocity X can also neutralize the powers of someone with time-slowing abilities by speeding them up.

Side effects[]

  • Lightning coloring/Blue lightning: A side effect of using Velocity X is that it can turn a speedster's lightning blue.
  • Addiction: Since the effects of Velocity X wear off quickly, the user can become addicted to taking it and it can mentally affect them.
  • Lack of Speed Force aura: Since Velocity X does not provide users with a Speed Force aura, their bodies are not protected from the effects of running at such high speeds.
