Badb lives with super speed on. Every time suppression kicks in, it bugs me a little. I sometimes find myself mashing the keys harder, or leaning forward in my
chair, straining against the bonds of slowness. I wish it would turn on and off more smoothly, too. Sometimes, the speed kicks in before I expect it and I
'pop the clutch' and find myself overshooting my target, right into another mob. I took flight as my last power, just because I was sick of the
vertical challenges. But for all its problems, I almost never turn the speed off. It's just too much fun. So the idea of more suppression concerns me a
bit, but the powers that be seem to listen to the players and be more concerned with making them happy than they once were. I'm not going to worry too much
yet.
(Concept-wise, Badb can't run as fast as Cyberman or Syndesis. Not even close. She'd just forget about the super speed limit anyway if she could. Her
speed is the supernatural ability to move, and even fight, at what J. Michael Straczynski calls 'the speed of plot.' She's as fast as the
Morrigan's little sister needs her to be, and no faster. Good for showing up (or disappearing) at the dramatic moment, nick-of-time rescues, and jumping
out to go 'BOO!'. And fighting *real* speedsters.)
