Rush is the Antitrix's hybridization of a mutated Kineceleran and an unknown species' DNA[DR 1] and Kevin's equivalent to XLR8.
Appearance[]
Rush exchanges similarities to XLR8, except his appearance is akin to an armored roller skater. His skin is light green. His forearms, torso, head, shoulders and tail are covered in green armor while his back sports dorsal fins. He has a conoid helmet which exposes his red eyes and a separate line where his mouth should be. His hands have three claws and his elbows and legs are spiky.
In Wheels of Fortune, Rush wore a yellow Sumo Slammers 2 T-shirt with a blue collar and sleeves.
Rush wears the Antitrix symbol on his chest.
Powers and Abilities[]
Being part-Kineceleran, Rush shares the same abilities as XLR8, such as enhanced speed, agility and reflexes. However, based on Kevin's alterations to the Antitrix, Rush is most likely faster, and much more powerful than XLR8.
Rush is able to achieve speeds up to 888 miles per hour, though the feat caused him visible strain.[2]
Rush has enhanced strength, being able to carry heavy loads of items at once and other heavy objects.[3]
Rush's strength allows for him to deliver a multitude of speed-enhanced attacks, such as punches, in brief and rapid succession.[4]
Rush is able to achieve speeds that are sufficient to create after-images of himself, making it appear like he is in multiple locations at once.[4]
Weaknesses[]
Being part-Kineceleran, Rush shares many of the same weaknesses as XLR8, such as his speed being drastically affected by strong adhesives or his tail holding him down in place.
Despite his enhanced speed, Rush can only run to a limited extent for so long or for so fast before showing strain or fatigue.[2]
Rush's reflexes do not appear to be on the same level as Arburian Pelarotas, as Cannonbolt was able to catch his fists before he could punch him.[4]
It is implied that Rush may not be "good for punching", meaning that there is a limit to his strength.[5][4]
Due to Kevin's alterations to the Antitrix, Rush is too powerful for the inexperienced Kevin to currently utilize to the fullest.
