Slow Dancer

Slow Dancer (スローダンサー（遅い踊り子)) is the Meta Ability used by Thaddeus Thatcher, featured in Black and White.

As a result of a mutant gene, Thaddeus awakens the ability to alter the flow of time relative to himself, thus creating the illusion of super speed.

Description
Unlike his archenemy Marcus Allen, who possesses superhuman speed, Thaddeus Thatcher has the ability to alter time relative to himself, manipulating the speed at which time flows around him. With every step he takes, he uses a form of time travel to control his personal timeline via a pulse wave that he can unleash around him which can also serve as a protective barrier. By slowing down his timeline, he can move at faster velocities and in addition he can speed it up to move slower, effectively allowing Thaddeus to run at "superhuman speeds."

Since his ability also significantly slows down electronic transport through nerve cells and thus cognitive processing, all those affected by Slow Dancer will perceive everything moving as super fast until its effects wear off. Due to his slowed perception of time, Thatcher's strength and physical attributes have been heightened to superhuman levels, allowing him to react to danger and be able to withstand punches from speedsters while sustaining no serious injuries.

However, as with any Meta Ability, Slow Dancer possesses a few drawbacks. Thaddeus requires about 3 seconds between each usage of it. Because of which, should an individual possess enough super-accelerated motion, like Marcus, that person can potentially generate enough kinetic energy within themselves to bypass Thaddeus' ability and break through his protective barrier.
