Explanation/Introduction
Relatively simple and short CRT. In previous CRTs, I've mentioned the feat of traveling from Earth to the Macroverse within a short amount of time a couple of times. Well, recently, I have made a calc for that feat, and it was accepted.
The calc gives us another MFTL+ feat for Pennywise, making him far faster than before, and overall making him even more a dingle to use in vs threads.
As for how this will be incorporated within the profile;
I tried to keep things concise. If this isn't good enough, we can reword it as the CRT goes on.
Update: With this CRT, I'll also be adding references to the profile, fixing some grammar errors, and rephrasing some bits of text (Mainly texts saying that he resides in the Macroverse when he actually doesn't). You can see the progress of that here.
Update 2: The Losers Club aren't "normal people". We know that throughout the book (Usually when confronted by Pennywise), they are amped by an external force, a higher power, not only giving them supernatural powers (I.E. The other Losers Club members were able to detect that Mike was in danger while hunting Pennywise far away, and were able to "send their power" to Mike while he was in the hospital, allowing him to fight off a murderer when he otherwise wouldn't have been able to) but also boosting their physical capabilities (The most obvious example of this is when Mike was fending himself from Pennywise's bird form. Mike himself says that he can feel a force helping him throw the tiles harder, allowing him to deal more damage to Penny). This higher power could be either Maturin (IT's brother. Maturin is also explicitly said to dwarf the Deadlights in power), or Gan himself (The creator deity of the verse, and is so far beyond the likes of IT that they are mere thoughts in his mind), both being 1-A reality-bending gods. Even Pennywise himself notes that the Losers Club have a "mythical talismanic" quality to them, and even speculates if they are agents of "The Other"/Gan (Which we know is true, given what was said here, and he was even there during the Ritual of Chud, helping the club behind the cosmic scenes). The very fact that they can resist and somewhat combat Pennywise is proof that they aren't normal too, as Pennywise has been butchering people for hundreds of years.
Also, in general Stephen King's books are full of humans with capabilities beyond typical people, especially the Dark Tower series, so the prospect of superhumans aren't new to this verse.
TL;DR - The Losers Club aren't normal humans, as they are protected and being amped by a 1-A higher power, allowing them to not getting instantly trashed by Pennywise. Also allowing Richie to perform this perception speed feat (Despite this amp allowing him to perceive things while moving at this crazy speed, there are still moments where he just gets outpaced by IT, so he would scale to this. This would be consistent for Pennywise, as he too demonstrates his own MFTL+ feat).

As for how this will be incorporated within the profile;
At least Massively FTL+ (Traveled from "outside of everything" to Earth [19,486c to 47,092c]. Can speed blitz members of the Losers Club, who can react to and perceive things while being flung from Earth, to outside the universe, and into the Deadlights within moments [241,945,812,833,4236c to 145,167,487,700,054,140c]), likely Immeasurable (Pennywise originates from a void beyond everything, including the Macroverse. Meaning, Pennywise would have had to travel from this void and through the Macroverse and the rest of the cosmology in order to reach Earth. Same with the Losers Club feat, but reversed)
