There are many ways to imagine superhero and/or magical powers, with very different mechanics for each one. A speedster that is just physically based would be severely limited compared to one that is protected by the Speed Force to withstand the enormous energy and heat from friction that would be generated by moving a supersonic velocity or even lightspeed.
Time magic on the other hand allows for most the same benefits and more, depending on how you conceptualize it. You can argue that it's the one of the most undefeatable superpowers. What good is superhuman strength and toughness if you can't hit the enemy?
This video is basically some nerdy over-thinking for entertainment, and to perhaps give writers and game designers a bit of inspiration. Also an opportunity to have fun with After Effects (and spend way too much time editing). As a self-taught amateur I'm pretty happy with how the visual fx turned out in the intro. There is also gorgeous natural scenery for your viewing pleasure, especially if you like rocky shores. :)
If you haven't read or listened to the Mistborn series and other novels by Brandon Sanderson yet, I HIGHLY recommend them. You can find them here (affiliate links):
