The rest is just superhuman reflexes and sometimes strength. We just never saw that from them. I started seeing speed changing when Emma became the Dark One. so maybe it's a power issue, since Emma is more powerful than Rumple as Dark One (Emma said so and Rumple didn't deny it).

But then Super Speed is sort of not needed if you can teleport. Maybe the DO has different levels. Teleport (Blinking) and then Superspeed.

But given the press relase, I wonder if the Darkness is the origin of all Dark magic and that's why it can have all the abilities that Dark magic users and creatures have.
