Trivia
- Reflex is similar to another Elemental Power, Speed, though it is not as fast as the latter.[2] When further asked about the difference between the two, Chris “Doc” Wyatt stated that Speed is starting at a full stop and going into a dead run, while Reflex is about reaction and redirecting incoming energy and motion.[3]
- Reflex is one of the seventeen elements that are currently not known to be confined to a human host. The other sixteen are Ice, Time, Fusion, Balance, Propulsion, Figment, Plants, Quake, Size, Sound, Surface Tension, Brute Force, Fear, Swarm, Misfortune, and Decay.
- Chris "Doc" Wyatt states that among the elements Size, Figment, Reflex, and Surface Tension, three were formed as a result of the Merge, while one already existed beforehand.[4]
