<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Alexus Swift</strong></span><br/>Alias: Haste (though the villains call her all kind of nick names)<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><em>Speed:</em>Alexus can travel at super sonic speeds. (Mach 1 maximum for now)<br/><em>Speed Force:</em>When Alexus is travelling at super speeds a barrier is created around her to prevent a sonic boom from being created when she breaks the sound barrier (unless she wants to the sonic boom to sound out).  It also prevents her spandex from melting, or if she trips and falls her costume won't shred.<br/><em>Tough:</em>Alexus is likewise super tough so that the friction and general speed doesn't make her disintegrate if she trips.  She has a super tough bone, muscular, and organ structure.  Her skin is impenetrable though lotions could be absorbed through her skin. While she is tough she is not super strong, so while she may not bruise or not get scratched, she can be hit with a blunt force and it'll still hurt like a normal person.  So a two-by-four over the back of her head would still knock her out.<br/><br/><strong>Height:</strong>5'8"<br/><strong>Weight:</strong>155 lbs.<br/><strong>Build:</strong>Athletic<br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><strong>Race:</strong>African-American<br/><strong>Eyes:</strong>Deep-Brown<br/><strong>Hair:</strong>Black<br/><strong>Costume:</strong>Haste wears a full gold body suit with silver boots and a silver mask.  The suit is backless, a design that she was never really happy with but it did used to tease all the male villains and would distract them just enough that she could get the upperhand.  The suit wraps around the back of her neck and dips low on her back to the top of her hips leaving her buttox covered completely.  The suit also leaves her arms and hands bare as well.<br/><strong>Pictures of Alexus:</strong><br/>(http://home.earthlink.net/~darwishi/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/alexus.jpg)<br/>(http://home.earthlink.net/~darwishi/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/alexus2.jpg)<br/>(http://home.earthlink.net/~darwishi/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/alexus3.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Alexus at one time was one of the greatest superheroines on the face of the Earth.  Okay so maybe that's an exaggeration with the whole greatest in the world.  She was good, it wasn't like she was a bad heroine she didn't lose very much and seemed to win just about every battle she entered.  So why is she still alive?  She wasn't there.  She was back defending the base because she could literally defend an entire base by herself or nearly by herself.  It helps when you can travel at super sonic speeds.  When the aliens turned Benedict Arnold on the whole world they told her to get out of there, told her to run just before the radio went dead.<br/><br/>She ran, straight to the fight, but seeing the carnage she quickly ran away to the rendevous point for such a case.  Normally about ninety percent of the heroes would hit the facilities and everything would be back to normal.  She was the only one there, at that particular underground base.  One other woman came in, though she quickly fell to the poison coursing through her body.  She soon found that the world she knew was gone, over the next few months she went about her patrols, for what good they did and finally she had to give up and fold.  Go to the villains themselves once she heard about the resistance.<br/><br/>The enemy of my enemy, right?<br/><br/>((NOTE: If anyone wants to work out some history with me for Haste, then I'd be happy to work something out.  Just give me a PM. ^^))
