Powers:
 
Enhanced Abilities: Godspeed has enhanced strength, agility, reflexes, durability and endurance.
Speed Force Conduit: After being struck by a bolt of lightning during a Speed Force storm in Central City, August gained a connection to the Speed Force, a mysterious cosmic force that pushes time and space itself forward. As it does this, the Speed Force creates excess energy that builds up and needs to be released. August, along with all speedsters connected to the Force, acts as a release valve for the Speed Force. When August uses his powers, he taps into that built up energy.
Superhuman Speed: Godspeed is able to run at incredible superhuman speeds. He had initially absorbed so much Speed Force that he had become even faster than the Flash.
Accelerated Healing: Like all conduits of the Speed Force, Godspeed is capable of regenerating from injuries much faster than any normal human.
Dimensional Travel: With the aid of his Speed Force gauntlet, Godspeed is able to instantly enter and exit the Speed Force with ease.
Electrokinesis: As a conduit of the Speed Force, Godspeed's body generates large amounts of the electrical energy that he draws from the Speed Force. This Speed Force lightning emanates off of him, especially when moving at superhuman speed. This allows him to project powerful arcs of Speed Force lightning, heal others and absorb Speed Force from other conduits.
Molecular Acceleration: Godspeed is able to accelerate his own molecules, as well as the molecules of others for various uses. He can become intangible by vibrating his body on a molecular level, allowing objects to pass directly through him.
Speed Scout: By "dividing his Speed Force", Godspeed is able to clone himself, thus being able to be in two places at once.
Vortex Creations: Godspeed is able to create strong vortexes of wind by rotating his arms at super-speed.
Speed Force Gauntlet: Godspeed wears a gauntlet that used to belong to an unnamed speedster, capable of collecting samples of Speed Force from other speedsters, as well as allow him to enter and exit the Speed Force at will.
 
Origins:
 
August Heart is the detective partner of Barry Allen. August was the only witness to Barry's accident, that turned him into the Flash. While going after a criminal organization called the Black Hole, August was struck by lightning during a Speed Force storm in Central City. He became the Flash's "partner", but in secret, August became the ruthless vigilante known as "Godspeed", who was driven to murder his brother's killer. Being faster than the Flash, with a twisted sense of morality, Godspeed poses a dangerous threat to Central City and its peace.
