AIPT: X-Fan Glob squad was curious to learn what exactly Aurora and Tempo were doing with their powers to move the New Marauder at “mutant warp?”
Steve: Tempo is a chronokinetic, and Aurora is able to move at lightspeed, among other things. But at a baseline, those are their gifts. Obviously, any type of hyper speed or warp speed is largely a science-fiction convention, but generally, they’re ways to move at faster than usual speeds in the void of space. Here, Tempo and Aurora are affecting both the literal speed at which the New Marauder is traveling by allowing it to approach lightspeed and also bending time around the ship so that that lightspeed gets the ship somewhere even faster. These two effects create this book’s version of Warp Speed, so named Mutant Warp because it’s derived from mutant technology — the combined powers of Aurora and Tempo.
Issue One establishes that the team’s boost fruits have a similar effect on mutants as Fabian Cortez, Hope Summers, or Khora the Burning Heart — they temporarily push a mutant’s power beyond its normal boundaries. So while Tempo and Aurora’s sphere of influence may usually be smaller, while using a boost fruit, the physical contact you see with the ship, while they’re both inside it, is enough for them to affect it while traveling in the zero resistance vacuum of space.
