Powers

• Harness the random atomic motion found within his molecules to propel his body at superhuman velocity approaching the speed of light, possesses increased endurance, reaction time, and durability in his physical make-up to resist damage, wind resistance and temperature extremes
• Limited psychic link with his sister, able to alter the phase-shift between his molecules and his sister’s upon physical contact, generating a radiant cascade of blinding light in all directions or focused photon blasts
• Formerly canceled out both his sister's and his own powers on contact, formerly could generate light on his own as concussive bursts or blinding flashes of half the intensity the twins could generate together
