If I start a move with Hypersonic Speed without being adjacent to an opposing character, then melee, to continue the move, do I have to break away?

Yes, unless your character has an ability like Improved movement: characters. (meaning they ignore characters when moving.)

Point of order: Tha ability is called Improve Movement: Characters (no ignore in the name).

Correct. It's just what it means. I'll adjust.

Thanks!! 💪

Are there any figures that can provide team members with IM: Characters?

No but if there was or is going to be it would be awesome if it gained keywords at force construstion, came at 25 points and also increased stats by +1 as a global effect to all friendly characters that shared a keyword.

Yes. That would be nice. Of course, it would have to be ridiculously under-costed chase.

eaxs006 Venom Symbiote - gives share change, plasticity, and Automatic breakaway.

If a character has Hypersonic Speed and Super Strength, they can also knock back on hit so that they don't have to break away.

Yea with the new breakaway rule changes - it heavily boosted the gap between ranged HSS and melee HSS

All those older flash figures are now poo poo. Grab a HSS with range or get the venom symbiote for free breakaway
