> _Crushed?_  Surely you're being a bit dramatic.  There are similarities between the two abilities that simply cannot be denied: moving extremely quickly while leaving behind an image of oneself.  However, if the ability means that much to you, and is that quintessential to your character, I'll overlook their similarities.  I pride myself on being a flexible man; there's no need to be cynical.

Actually, blake leaves behind a solid clone, much like Naruto's Shadow Clone technique. Her idea was having a afterimage that is intangible. Blake was shown to use her shadow offensively against Roman, so there is quite a big difference in the two.


Also, McFazzer, I love your Ghastly picture.
