Superhuman Durability: Savitar is capable of resisting tremendous kinetic impact forces that could easily crush or kill a human, without suffering any serious external or internal injuries, making him much more durable than any human.Speed Force Aura: A speedsters body is surrounded by a "friction cushion", which provides protection from the nastier elements of their speed, including friction, airborne particulate matter, kinetic impacts, G-Force and the like.This allows him to easily make sharp turns and leap far distances while moving at superhuman speed. Superhuman Agility: Savitar's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels.Superhuman Stamina: Savitar's body can handle the stress of moving at superhuman speeds for extended periods of time without getting tired or weak.This allows him to easily react to danger and events, and perceive the world in slow motion.

Speed Force Conduit: After flying a supersonic fighter jet at top speed, Savitar was struck by a mysterious lightning.The continuity established following Flashpoint is Prime Earth. Prior to this, mainstream comics took place in New Earth continuity since the Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985. This was an attempt to simplify continuity, and make DC Comics more accessible to new readers. The DC Universe was rebooted in 2011 as part of the Flashpoint event. This history is continued in The New 52 at Savitar (Prime Earth). He was run down by the recently returned to life Barry Allen however, when Barry touches him, Savitar disintegrates, leaving only a pile of bones. Savitar was able to escape from the Speed Force. His earlier encounter had shown him that the others who had arrived before would deal with Savitar as they saw fit. Hell-bent on at least destroying Flash's world in retribution, he led the Flash on a worldwide race of destruction, until Flash chose to give Savitar what he wanted: union with the Speed Force. When these proved ineffectual, he sent more to kill the other speedsters: Impulse, Jay Garrick, Johnny and Jesse Quick, XS and Max Mercury.įortunately, Wally's direct link to the Speed Force prevented Savitar from stealing his speed, and a coalition of all the speedsters he had tried to kill, foiled his plans. He sent a few of these agents to attack Wally West. He then used her powers as a catalyst to strip most of Earth's speedsters of their link to the Speed Force, transferring their speed to the Thunderbolt Agents. Making his headquarters in a fortress in Tibet, he recruited the speedster known as Lady Flash. Savitar returned decades later, to discover that his followers, the Thunderbolt Agents, had become a large cult in his absence. This encounter became a battle, the tide of which was turned with the arrival of Max Mercury, who led Savitar toward the Speed Force, but caused him to bounce off. In search of more knowledge, he sought out the only super-speed hero operating at the time: Johnny Quick. Savitar's obsession gained followers, and he became the leader of a cult. He can protect himself in a null-inertia force field, give speed and kinetic energy to objects or people, even those in a rest state, and could also heal his own injuries almost instantly. As Savitar studied, he discovered new powers that no other living speedster has mastered. Discovering he could defeat the enemy by moving at super-speed, he became obsessed with speed, naming himself after Savitar, Hindu for "god of motion", and dedicating his life to unlocking its secrets. As he reached top speed, his plane was struck by what appeared to be lightning, and he went down in hostile territory. A Cold War pilot for a third-world nation, the man who would become known as Savitar was to test a supersonic fighter jet.
