I recently started to make a story about super heroes and in the story after the ending of a big war many nations started to develop super human projects to deal with the already existing factor of super humans (hero and villain) resulting in living weapons of mass destruction. One nation that is largely machine based but is tolerant towards organics developed a human (who will be named Speedster for now) with the following powers and abilities:- ● super-speed: The Speedster can move at high speeds to the point where he's almost Blinding. He can also potentially move so fast it can cause shockwaves powerful enough to destroy structures in a certain radius. The issue is that after reaching certain speed his brain can't keep up visually, causing his surroundings to go blurry and making him effectively blind.
- ● cognitive processing: The Speedster can enhance his visual cognitive processing, allowing him to be able to process his environment almost in slow motion when using higher speeds. The issue is that it causes mental strain, meaning he can only use it for short amounts of time, especially when running.
- ● cybernetics: The Speedster has been given various cybernetics such as devices designed to allow him to process his own super sonic speed (though it becomes less effective at his higher speeds) as well some other gear and gadgets
- Now one thing I've wondered was what weapons to give him that could potentially and realistically work congruent with his powers when he's only moving at double digit speeds like say 20KMH and if they would work better built in or handheld.
- Now Please Note:
- - These weapons would likely only be used in circumstances when building destroying speeds are not necessary and can range from firearms to more analogies weapons such as swords
- - The reason he only has so much cybernetics is because his powers mostly stem from his organic components and therefore adding too much machinery could possibly be detrimental and make him slower
- - He was born for the sole purpose of being a weapon for fighting in wars involving superhumans, so naturally whatever weapon and gear he's given will be using modern I not futuristic technology for this purpose
- - His powers and technology operate on fictional principles and science based on real world science and speculations, meaning that it does require some level suspension of disbelief. Keep this in mind before making any answers or comments.

What would be the best weapons and gear for a cybernetic speedster
I recently started to make a story about super heroes and in the story after the ending of a big war many nations started to develop super human projects to deal with the already existing factor of super humans (hero and villain) resulting in living weapons of mass destruction.
