Quantum's powers began to appear when he was a young teenager, but they developed so gradually that he was almost into his twenties before he realised that he was a superhuman. Though he possessed incredible speed, it is believed that Quantum's physical strength wasn't that much greater than a normal human.

Costume:
Quantum's costume is the least elaborate of all the heroes: a simple white, skin-tight uniform with gloves, boots and a mask. In later years, he wore a version of his costume made from a tough, light-weight material - specially designed to reduce air-friction - that was was developed by Paragon and Joshua Dalton to Quantum's specifications.
