Editing Legend (section)

===Flight===
Legend is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, fliers in-universe. During the [[Battle against Echidna]], [[Apocrypha|Alexandria's clones]] could not catch up to him when he purposefully flew in loops and circles to find opportunities for taking aim and firing at [[Echidna]]'s clones.<ref name="19.6 e2" /> While in motion and flying fast enough to appear as a blur to viewers, [[Behemoth]] could not pin him down long enough to target him with his lightning.<ref>Legend and Eidolon hounded the Endbringer, Legend initially a blur that couldn’t even be pinned down long enough to strike, even with lightning.  As the hero flew, he filled the sky with a series of lasers that raked Behemoth’s flesh and targeted open wounds to open them further.  When Behemoth turned away to deal with Eidolon, Legend slowed, and the lasers grew in number and in scale. - [[Crushed 24.1]]</ref>

Legend can accelerate to a speed that exceeds the speed of sound. However, if he continues accelerating, he automatically transforms into his energy form to survive at these speeds. As a result, Legend deliberately throttles his flight speed to avoid going fast enough to lose conscious control of his movements.<ref name="14.y e1">Legend’s flight powers let him accelerate to a speed that exceeded sound and ''continue'' accelerating, to no hard limit. The ''soft'' limit was that he had breaker powers that kept the acceleration from tearing him to shreds, altering his body into something else entirely as he gained speed. The drawback to this was that his brain also shut down on a cognitive level as the transformation occurred. He had never let himself go so fast that he lost the ability to consciously control his movements.<br><br>There were other benefits too. He was better at registering and processing light waves, regardless of which state he was in. He could see with perfect clarity up until the point that an obstactle intervened or the atmosphere occluded his vision.<br><br>If an opponent attacked and struck him, he instinctively transitioned into his energy form for a split second. In that state, he absorbed energy of a variety of kinds, including the kinetic energy that was transferred with a punch or with a bullet. His opponents were forced to whittle him down, each attack only a fraction as effective as it might otherwise be. Even then, a share of that small amount of damage was healed a second later as he used the absorbed energy to mend his body. Conversely, his enemies could try to hit him with enough speed and force that even a hundredth of a second of contact was sufficient to take him out of the fight. Leviathan and Behemoth had managed to land blows of that magnitude.<br><br>''Siberian has as well.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/13 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref> Although he wondered if his power was intended for travel on an interstellar level, he never tested this theory or determined if his flight speed had an upper limit or not.<ref name="14.y e2" />

During the [[Battle against Khonsu]], Legend and [[Eidolon]] managed to get from [[Japan]] to Cape Verde in a very short period of time.<ref name="25.4 e3">“Japan,” Wanton said.<br>[...]<br>Now he stood still, weathering attacks with the same durability the other Endbringers had.<br>[...]<br>I tore my eyes from the screen, marching towards the emergency doors.<br>[...]<br>The dragon-craft was waiting for us outside, ramp doors open.<br>[...]<br>We stepped inside, entering the center of the craft.  I found a seat by a monitor, with a laptop ready and waiting for use, login screen displayed.  The monitor was showing the battlefield, roving over the dead, the buildings that had collapsed under the weight of years.  Oddly, the cameraman wasn’t focusing on Khonsu or the defending heroes.  A few heroes were fleeing, but most weren’t in view.<br>[...]<br>The craft hadn’t taken off.<br><br>My growing sense of dread was confirmed as the image on the monitors changed.<br>[...]<br>The monitors showed him in a different city.  A caption on the bottom of the screen showed the words ‘Cape Verde’.<br><br>He’d teleported halfway around the planet.<br>[...]<br>My phone vibrated to alert me to a new text.  I didn’t need to read it to guess what it said.  I read it anyways.<br>[...]<br>The heroes were engaging, now.  Legend and Eidolon had caught up. - [[Scarab 25.4]]</ref> It is unknown if Eidolon teleported him<ref>“Because any other day, with you heroes being as short on teleporters as you are, you’d be helping bring people in. - [[Queen 18.4]]</ref><ref>Scion turned his attention towards Glaistig Uaine.<br><br>Eidolon appeared beside her, taking her in his arms, and then the pair of them disappeared just as quickly.
