Majestic Book of Randomness

Double Diamond Headcanon (NAHWC)

I just wanted to make a small quick thing about Double's powers, just because I didn't go into too much depth about it in the latest chapter.

So spoilers for Ch. 11 I guess. I'm pretty sure you guys don't really care.

So his super speed does have limits to it. I didn't want to make him too unstoppable. Basically, the perfect comparison to Double is a cheetah. They run about the same speed (if Double not just a teeny bit faster), and like a cheetah, Double has limited stamina. He can't run consecutively for more than a minute (or maybe two if he pushes it) without having to take a break. But he can recover fairly quickly, but he is still vulnerable.

I imagine that when he runs, he has a faint trail of blue light behind him. Like Tracer from 'Overwatch', or Fetch Walker from 'inFAMOUS'. (Fetch is the one who inspired his super speed.)

Iamanewbiewriter13 drew fanart of D.D. that looks almost exactly what I imagine it looking like, so feel free to check that out.

As for his strength, he is easily more powerful than Iron Ram. Not sure by how much yet. Also not sure if I'm going to make some sort of limit there too.

Same thing with when he changes power. I want him to be able to change quickly enough that he can pull off some sick combo moves that I have in mind, but not fast enough where there is no setback. I was going to make it so that he would run out of energy soon enough, like Wild Time, but that seems like too much, since his speed already does that.

I dunno, if you guys have any feedback, please feel free to leave a comment!

(Why do I call these headcanons if I write the book...?)
