Powers and Abilities

Much like XLR8, Fasttrack has enhanced speed and agility, and is shown to have good reflexes.

An ability that sets Fasttrack apart from XLR8 is his enhanced strength, considering he was able to carry both Magister Hulka and Tack without losing speed.^[1] Technically speaking, Fasttrack is physically stronger than XLR8.^{[MW 1]}

Fasttrack is capable of jumping to great heights whilst running.^[2]

The blade-like structures on FastTrack's arms and legs could be used as weapons to cut and tear when running past someone at a fast pace.

Weaknesses

Fasttrack, if running fast enough, can have a hard time stopping.^[3]
