Correction: The character Adrian despises can [i]think[/i] 30x faster than a normal human. His maximum movement speed (for the time being) is only a bit above 10x peak human, and that's strictly limited to burst speed. His maximum sustainable speed is actually slower than Shen's up there. Though that is with a significant nerf on his full potential. If I took him as far as he could go, he'd be at the top end of the high tier.

And I'd say Shen would be a good intermediate tier character. Untill he starts slaughtering armies... Though you didn't mention heat levels of anything but the sword buff and didn't mention any energy drain specifics at all. Since this isn't my thread, I won't presume to tell you they're necessary, but generally the more detail you have about that kind of thing the less nervous your opponent will be about potential abuse.
