Schticks are highly variable. Some schticks will include being able to make
great leaps by running off inclines. (As I said, I believe I've seen the
Flash do this.) Others don't.

And while the Flash is clearly outside of the bounds of the Nile Empire's
genre, schticks can still vary widely within that genre. There's an awful
lot of "it depends" there.

And beyond schticks, there's still the question of how far vehicles can
"jump".
