Those also make the least sense. I understand "I'm a metal person here are my metal powers" but metal is not a thing that flies or goes fast. If the character were springs, I might accept being able to launch yourself, but not a sustained ludicrous speed.
In a universe where a man turns into a giant green monster that can lift over trillions of tons, and another man can make armor that makes him omnipotent, someone turning their body into metal or Kevin Levin flying is the thing that makes the least sense?
What I was getting at is that most of the power sets TRY to make sense, in universe. Super strong Metal man? Fine. Flight? How is my question. Essentially, you're making a marvel universe Man of Steel Superman.
If you have control over your metal bits and can shape change, like a liquid metal person, then I would start thinking flight can be figured out. I would be concerned with you freezing over though, or melting like the T-1000 Terminator. (The liquid one)
Also, why such a specific speed?
