Please let me explain this so mabye people will finally understand.
The space gem allows people to teleport. It did not actually make the runner faster. He only thought it did because he arrived at a destination as soon as he left. This was because he was actually teleporting subconciously.
The runner was not amped when he fought thanos. At all.
Runner wrecked thanos alone end of context.

As was explained on panel by Thanos himself, the Runner only used the Space Gem to teleport subconsciously; thats how he would sometimes arrive at a destination before he realized he'd actually left for it...
When the Runner was owning Thanos, it was under his own power...
Thanos did say the gem was in play but not in their fight.IIRC Thats when we found out that he was actually teleporting with the gem and it didn't make him faster.
I'm pretty sure it was Thanos quest 2 and not 1. Please re-read it because although you are usually right I am 99.9% sure I am right this time.

Have you ever read the text and not just looked at the pictures?
For 1 i never said the gem made him run faster.
The gem allowed him to subconsciously manipulate space, thats why he was arriving at a destination before he even realized he was heading for it,(Thanos explains all this to Runner after he takes the gem from him). In other words the Runner was moving space around ie bringing it closer to him thats why he reached a destination as soon as he set off and why Thanos equiptment said Runner was going twice the speed of light.
So normal Runner wouldnt be able to do what he did.

Okay: Thanos did say that the Gem didn't make Runner faster (Which is something I never argued by the way) but at the same time, Thanos' dialogue makes it seem like the Gem might have been in play.
Runner didn't seem to teleport in the fight, but I'm not sure if his ever shown actually teleportation like Pip.
Depends on interpretation or if there's any more evidence.
