However, the process was screwed up due to an attack by Resistance commandoes, resulting in Stone/Chaser having amnesia and only mixed-up partial memories from both of his identities.}}
* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: [[Bullet Time]] can be like this, given how incredibly slowly it regenerates after being used.
