Here's some ideas for a complete Speedster power set:
Flurry
You relentlessly shower your target with a continuous barrage of high speed punches.
Energy Builder
Maintain
*Single target Crushing Damage.
*Generates energy.
Advantages
Accelerated Metabolism (1 Advantage Point)
Accelerating Strikes (2 Advantage Points): If you fully maintain this attack you gain a single stack of velocity, or refresh the duration of all stacks of velocity.
Quick Jab
A series of quick punches so fast that the target rarely sees them coming.
Tier 1
Starter, Close Attack, Combo
Click
*Single target Crushing Damage.
*Each attack in the combo has a 10% chance to hit the target twice.
*The third attack in succession has a 20% chance to Disorient the target.
Advantages
Accelerated Metabolism (1 Advantage Point)
Crippling Challenge (2 Advantage Points)
Weave (2 Advantage Points)
Each successful hit with Quick Jab adds a stacking dodge buff to you. All stacks of the buff are removed upon a successful dodge.
+ 5% dodge for 2 sec
Windup Punch
You rapidly rotate your arm like a windmill, building up momentum until you unleash it in a single powerful strike.
Tier 1
Close Attack
Tap
*Single Target Crushing Damage.
*Knocks up the target. Deals increased damage versus enemies that are immune to Knock, such as bosses
Charge
*Increases damage and Knock of the Tap effect.
Advantages
Crippling Challenge (2 Advantage Points)
Windmill (2 Advantage Points)
Adds a reverse repel effect to Windup Punch while it is charging, drawing in enemies within 20 feet. Then, when the punch is executed, all enemies within 10 feet other than the primary target are knocked back.
Speedster
You are the living embodiment of speed, moving and striking faster than anyone else.
Tier 1
Slotted Offensive Passive
*Increases your Physical Melee Damage, and your Physical Ranged Damage by a lesser amount.
*Your Run Speed is increased. This effect scales with your Super Stats and is lessened when you are in combat or when you have a travel power active.
*Every time you attack an enemy with a non-Energy Builder, you receive a stack of Velocity and refresh the duration of all stacks of Velocity on you. This can only occur every 3 seconds. Velocity is a short duration buff which grants you additional Dodge Chance and Avoidance and has a chance to reduce the cooldowns of all your powers. This effect can stack up to 3 times.
Rank 1
+18% Physical Melee Damage (scales with Super Stats)
+9% Physical Ranged Damage (scales with Super Stats)
+33% Run Speed (+11% in combat, or +3.3% if a travel power is active)

+2% Avoidance per stack of Velocity
3% chance per stack of Velocity to reduce all active cooldowns by 1 second each time you receive a stack of Velocity or refresh your stacks of Velocity.
Rank 2
+20% Physical Melee Damage (scales with Super Stats)
+10% Physical Ranged Damage (scales with Super Stats)
+66% Run Speed (+22% in combat, or +6.6% if a travel power is active)
+6% Dodge per stack of Velocity
+3% Avoidance per stack of Velocity
6% chance per stack of Velocity to reduce all active cooldowns by 2 seconds each time you receive a stack of Velocity or refresh your stacks of Velocity.
Rank 3

+11% Physical Ranged Damage (scales with Super Stats)
+100% Run Speed (+33% in combat, or +10% if a travel power is active)

With a few moments of concentration, you amp up your metabolism until wounds close and bruises fade before your eyes. But, you do burn up calories a lot faster.

Grappling/Wrestling Power Set Suggestion 2012-2013
How a Wrestling Power Set Can Work
What do we have that fits speedster thematically other than 100 Hands and possibly Crushing Wave? I agree with you on it being slotted in Martial Arts. However, it should definitely be a full set.
When you think about it, the same could have been said about the Night Avenger set. We already thematically had stealth, smoke bomb, throwing stars/knives, a chain pull.. They just took certain parts, made them better, and added new stuff as well. That's what needs to be done as far as a speedster set. 100 Hands would more than likely be in the set, but my guess is they would build off of that and add more powers, releasing a whole set.
Well put, this is what I was thinking. I like it, I really like the idea of it making natural movement faster, because cybermind. What I'd *love*? If the attacks scaled off of Dex. I don't see a speedster being HULK SMASH so much as wicked agile and using precise strikes to take someone apart. MA nerd mode, activate:
Bruce Lee (arguably a living embodiment of the speedster trope) eschewed weight training, feeling like it'd slow him down if he bulked up too much. I'd think a speedster set would practically embody this philosophy:
A powerful athlete is not a strong athlete, but one who can exert his strength quickly. Since power equals force times speed, if the athlete learns to make faster movements he increases his power, even though the contractile pulling strength of his muscles remains unchanged. Thus, a smaller man who can swing faster may hit as hard or as far as the heavier man who swings slowly.
RIP Caine
Yes! So much yes. Scaling through Dex especially yes.
And extra points for Bruce Lee, lol.
This is a brilliant post. I love everything the OP provided, and the idea of these powers working off DEX is also a great idea.
Honestly I could deal with the content as is- if we got more options in our builds or concepts. I don't care about soloing Elite lairs and whatnot. Sometimes its all about seeing a concept through. So to that end- yes MOAR POWERSETS!
