Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

You may be asking, Dave, what the hell is that accent? It's a fair question. It started off as this guy from Robocop 2. But then my brain thought, "But what about King Willie from Predator 2?" That guy didn't just steal the scene, he was arguably the best part of the movie. Note the lack of automatic subtitles in that clip, cause the voice to CC algorithm was too busy cracking up at Willie. "About the one that's doing all the killing, I am." CC Algo was like "I need whatever that dude is smoking." Honestly, Predator 2 was a pretty solid movie. Yes, it had one or two really dumb scenes, but the movie did supply all the AvP games with 90% of the Predator's arsenal.

Anyway, some people in the comments were under the impression that Max's top speed was Mach 5, but I've no idea where that came from. Sydney's top speed was Mach 4, until she bought her speed upgrade on the Alari homeworld. When she got back, she tried to tease Max about maybe being the fastest one of the team. To paraphrase Max's response, "Hmm. Maybe."

I'm not sure what her actual travel time is going to be though. She doesn't have her Stratosphere travel kit on her. Max can actually hold her breath for a very long time - what she's actually doing is using her power pool internally to break up the carbon dioxide and eke out some more O2 time, but it's not efficient, and takes more and more power the longer she does it. So Max will have to watch out for commercial air traffic at times, though she knows especially around cities and costal regions she can climb a dozen kilometers for a few minutes.
