She is capable of lifting up to 500 lbs.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Peak Human Speed:</em> Her speed is also enhanced to the peak of human capability. Melissa is as fast as a human can be without being classified as superhuman. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Peak Human Agility:</em> Natasha's natural agility is heightened to a level greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist. She can coordinate her body with balance, flexibility, and dexterity easily.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Peak Human Reflexes:</em> Her reaction time is similarly enhanced and functions with superhuman efficiency and capability.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Peak Human Durability:</em> Melissa’s bodily tissues have been augmented to the pinnacle of human development.&nbsp; Though she can be injured in the typical ways other humans can be, she possesses exceptional human strength, endurance, and stamina.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Peak Human Senses:</em>&nbsp; Her five senses are enhanced and function at the peak of human perfection. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Peak Human Immune System:</em>&nbsp; While she is susceptible to disease, Perdu has enhanced her body’s immune system to the point that it is highly resistant to disease and even the aging process.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<em>Self-regeneration:</em>&nbsp; Due to her extraordinary ability to alter her cellular structure, Perdu is capable of repairing her body at will.&nbsp; All that is required is concentration and time.&nbsp; Still, anything that would instantaneously kill a human will kill her.&nbsp; Also, since her abilities require concentrated thought she is unable to heal while asleep or unconscious.<br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Master Martial Artist:</em> Melissa is an expert in the field of martial arts. She is proficient in karate, judo, aikido, savate, boxing, Krav Magda and multiple styles of kung fu. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Expert Acrobat:</em> She is an Olympic class athlete, gymnast, acrobat and aerialist capable of numerous complex maneuvers and feats. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Expert Marksman:</em> Melissa is a very accurate marksman skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Multilingual:</em> She is fluent in Russian, English, French, German, Chinese, and Japanese.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Gifted Intellect:</em> She possesses the ability to quickly process multiple information streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Graceful Dancer:</em> Melissa is a classically trained ballet dancer. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Expert Tactician:</em> She is a very effective strategist, tactician, and field commander.

Melissa has been infamously known to bend many different men to her will and sometimes even get them to do her bidding for her. She sometimes continues deceiving certain men through means of acting if she still has a further use for them. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Expert Spy:</em> Melissa has been trained in espionage, stealth, disguise, infiltration, and demolitions.&nbsp; She displays an uncanny affinity for psychological manipulation and can mask her real emotions perfectly.</div></div><br><strong>Special Equipment:</strong><br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<em>Costume Specifications:</em> A synthetic stretch fabric of unstable molecules which has been augmented to be highly resistant to damage even small arms fire, high temperatures, and to shift forms with her.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Melissa has access to a number of military grade prototype weapons and gadgets including various automatic weapons and firearms, combat knives and explosives as needed.<br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong><br>Believed to be born in the 1860s, much of Melissa’s past is unknown and detailed accounts from Melissa herself vary.&nbsp; It is generally believed that she was born to normal, yet wealthy, parents and that she was born fairly normal herself.&nbsp; She has told stories of living of years in the woods alone, of being orphaned on the streets of London, and of being the finest dancer at the Royal Academy of Dance.&nbsp; Due to her training in espionage and understanding of psychology, those who’ve interviewed Melissa are unsure as to which story is real or even if Melissa has told them the true story of her origins.<br><br>What is known is that her first documented appearance occurred during World War 1 as an English operative.&nbsp; It is unclear if at that time the English government knew that she had super powers, however; by the end of World War II, MI-5 had verified that Melissa was in possession of “unnatural abilities” and they began paying much closer attention to the woman.&nbsp; Despite, or maybe because, of MI-5’s discovery Melissa worked her way up the ladder to a place of trust within the English military.&nbsp; She has displayed nothing but loyalty to her country.&nbsp; When the Allied nations began discussing plans to counter the growing superhuman threat, Mellissa’s name was at the head of the list to assemble and organize the team.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01568/SNN1911A---620_1568769a.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Kelly Young.<br><strong>Age:</strong> 23 years.<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> American.<br><strong>Place of Residence:</strong> Hollywood – California.<br><br><strong>Personality:</strong> Kelly is the type of person to ‘live in the moment’. She doesn’t like to take things seriously and is more focused on having fun and living each day as if it was her last. She is very fun to be around and is always the life of the party, but she can be a serious distraction to people who let her. Ever since she discovered her powers as a child, she’s been very much in denial about her life; she simply doesn’t want to believe she’s different and looks at her abilities as being a curse rather than the gifts they are. She is very much controlled by her emotions and can change her mind with the drop of a hat. Kelly likes to get her opinions heard and will always try to persuade others into thinking the way she does. If you really get to know her, she can be very trusting and helpful to whoever she’s close with but doesn’t take kindly to strangers giving her direction or orders. <br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> Extra Image (http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/multimedia/archive/00324/Tulisa_324003c.jpg) Stands at around 5'4", has bleached blonde hair that reaches the middle of her back though she is naturally a dark brunette. Her eyes are a stunning blue and are always lined with black eyeliner and mascara, possibly even fake lashes, to make them stand out even more against her pale skin.<br><br><strong>Codename:</strong> Ebony Bite.<br><br><strong>Outfit:</strong> A crop halter neck top with tight, matching short shorts and chaps. (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Black-Buckle-Top-Chap-Pants-Chaps-Outfit-Clubwear-Clubbing-Rave-8259-/00/s/NDk1WDM3Mg==/$(KGrHqQOKioE5ejj7CNIBO,ik73ObQ~~60_35.JPG) She wears a pair of&nbsp; slightly heeled ankle boots as well; all in black.<br><br><strong>Powers:</strong> <br>•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rapid Cellular Regeneration – Whenever she is physically or internally wounded, her skin automatically heals itself. If she has a broken bone, she must press the bone back into position for it to heal otherwise it will remain broken. (The skin will also not heal if something in protruding from it; whether it be a bone or glass ect.) Kelly can be killed by one of two ways; either beheading or stabbing her in the back of the skull to separate the spinal cord from the brain.<br><br>•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Animal Mimicry – This allows her to pull traits from any animal she wants. This will result in slight changes to her physical and mental form, but will not shift her into the beast itself. This also connects her to animals in some ways and they seem to be fond of her because of this. (Example #1: If she wants to take on the traits of a cat, her nails will change into claws, her eyes will turn into feline eyes, her teeth into fangs. She would be able to balance, land on her feet from a fall and be agile/quick. Example #2: If she changed into a sea lion for underwater activities her feet and fingers would become webbed and her eyes wide, round and dark, her skin would feel and look rubbery and she'd be able to swim quicker and hold her breath for longer.)<br><br><em>Intelligence:</em> Normal.<br><em>Strength:</em> Normal. (Dependant of which animal traits she takes.)<br><em>Speed:</em> Normal (Dependant of which animal traits she takes.)<br><em>Durability:</em>Regenerative. <br><em>Energy Projection:</em> None.<br><em>Fighting Ability:</em> Some training. <br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br>•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Slight hand-to-hand combat training, though nothing major. Pretty much just for self-defence.<br><br><strong>Special Equipment:</strong> N/A.<br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong> Kelly was born into a normal, middle class family that consisted of herself, her father, her mother and her two little brothers; the two brothers are three years apart, but Kelly is around six years older than the oldest boy. She lived a happy life, went to school, dated boys and all that jazz but when turned thirteen, she started noticing some changes. She would heal a lot faster than anyone else. In fact, she was bouncing on her trampoline in the yard when she sprang off and landed on her shoulder, breaking her collar bone. Her mother rushed her straight to the hospital and called her father who was at work to let him know, but by the time she was x-rayed her bone had completely healed and had fused back together. The doctor swore blind he felt a break when he examined her, but couldn’t explain how he could have been wrong or what could have happened. The man was quite freaked out by it and ended up sending Kelly and her mother back home with some prescribed pain killers. Kelly didn’t take one. <br><br>Another thing she started to notice was their family rabbit would always sit right up against the fence of her hutch when Kelly was in the backyard; it always stared at her and would make noises as she went past, following her. She found it frightening at first, but when she handled the rabbit she was surprised at how friendly she was to hold. When her parents or brothers tried petting her, she’d go crazy and try to escape. She couldn’t figure out what was going on; she just wanted to be normal. <br><br>Kelly moved out of her family home at the age of 20 and moved in with her current boyfriend at the time; Trent Lowell. The two had dated all through high school and they had decided to move in together and take on jobs rather than go to a college. I mean, who needs education when you already have your whole future set out; or that’s what Kelly had thought. Things went terribly wrong from there and she's now living by herself in their apartment. (Of course there is more to this story.)

				<strong>Name:</strong><strong>[CLASSIFIED]</strong><br><strong>Age:</strong> 24<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> American<br><strong>Place of Residence:</strong> New York, NY<br><strong>Personality:</strong> In costume, HercuLina always tries to project a serious and authoritative but approachable personality. She tries to be what she thinks a superhero should be. It's as if the person behind the mask is playing a character, the ideal of what she thinks that a hero needs to present themselves as. Very strong sense of justice. <br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">HercuLina </div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj499/MzHyde/Character%20Portraits/HercuLina.png)</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">CLASSIFIED</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://i1264.photobucket.com/albums/jj499/MzHyde/LinaLyons_zps0bef4e3a.jpg)</div></div><br><strong>Codename:</strong> HercuLina ('Lina' or 'Herc' to her comrades)<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>Powers:</strong><br>-Blood of Hercules: HercuLina's durability is superhuman. Her skin is extremely tough and when injured, she has a slow healing factor that makes it possible for her to recover from wounds that should be fatal. She is also extremely resistant to extreme temperatures, has a reduced need for sleep, food, and is virtually inexhaustible.<br><br><em>Intelligence:</em> 3 (Learned -Seems to have a background in law.)<br><em>Strength:</em> 6 (Superhuman - She can lift about 80-100 tons, ex; a commercial aircraft)<br><em>Speed:</em> 3 (Superhuman - Extremely fast, 200mph at peak speed on a flat surface)<br><em>Durability:</em> 6 (Superhuman - Not invulnerable, but extremely resistant to ballistic weaponry, physical impact, and extreme temperature, also exhibits a slow healing factor)<br><em>Energy Projection:</em> 1 (None - Unable to project any kind of energy)<br><em>Fighting Ability:</em> 4 (Experienced - Seems not to have any martial arts training, but is used to close combat. Brawler. Excellent at disarms and takedowns.)<br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> <br>-<strong>[CLASSIFIED]</strong> Training: As an <strong>[CLASSIFIED]</strong> has gone through some amount of physical and combat training. While not exactly the best fighter, she knows how to use cover and her surroundings to her advantage, and knows a variety of ways to disarm someone.&nbsp; She has extensive experience on the streets <strong>[CLASSIFIED]</strong> dangerous situations. She also has a knack for noticing small details and can read people fairly well. <br><br>-Marksmanship: Lina is a crackshot with a wide variety of weapons, thanks to training and consistent practice. Skilled with more than just firearms, HercuLina can also wield a bow with impeccable accuracy. <br><br><strong>Special Equipment:</strong><br>-Nemean Gauntlet: HercuLina's most prominent artifact is the Nemean Gauntlet. Originally part of a set, only one still exists. Supposedly one of the godly rewards given to Hercules for slaying the Nemean Lion, this piece of armor amplifies Lina's strength by an absurd amount. Note that the strength does not increase solely for the arm she is wearing it on; it is an overall strength increase. The effect is simply lessened because she is only wearing one gauntlet. <br><br>-Golden Fleece: The second artifact worn by HercuLina, the Golden Fleece was gifted to Hercules by Jason, one of the heroic Argonauts. It consists of an armlet and pauldron worn on Lina's right arm and shoulder. While all of Lina's armor is extremely tough (what little she wears) the Fleece itself is nigh indestructible. If there's something Lina feels she can't shrug off, she can always attempt to block it with the Fleece. It also reflects common projectiles like bullets and arrows.<br><br>-Bow of Apollo: A bow gifted to HercuLina shortly after her start as a hero. Given to her by Apollo, this bow can be summoned in an instant at any time, so long as she has hands free. It appears to be a red and gold ornately decorated longbow with a nearly invisible draw string of thin, dancing flames. As the 'string' is pulled back a flaming arrow appears in the bow, ready to be fired. Not only are the arrows impossibly sharp, but they also set alight anything they hit. The longer Lina holds the shot before releasing, the more powerful the arrow.<br><br>-Poseidon's Trident: Another gift, this from Poseidon. It can be summoned in an instant as long as Lina has a hand free. The Trident is extremely durable, deadly sharp, and allows the wielder to breathe underwater when held. It can also be used to create an air bubble around the user and anyone standing close enough. As a godly weapon, it can even pierce supernatural creatures. <br><br>-Sandals of Hermes: The final artifact, the sandals were a gift to Hercules from Hermes, the messenger god. They enhance Lina's speed to a superhuman amount, as well as bolster her reaction time. While they do not grant the ability to fly, Lina can use these to leap great distances in a single bound. <br><br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong> <strong>[CLASSIFIED]*</strong><br><br><strong>*</strong>HercuLina appeared on the scene shortly after the botched robbery of The Museum of Natural History by The Alchemist.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Theme - "Justice"</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">Lunar 2: Eternal Blue - Justice [Leo's Theme] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoxVEcSofy4#)</div></div></div>

That being said, he certainly doesn't miss much of whats going on around him. Although meeting one of the most powerful men alive for the first time can be an intimidating experience, the second time rarely is. Warden is certainly friendly and appreciates humour, when there is no need to be serious he is in fact quite laid back about many matters. More than one person with a special attention to detail however has commented that he appears to be performing what he believes people expect of him.&nbsp; &nbsp; <br><br><br><br><strong>Codename:</strong> The Warden<br><strong>Outfit:</strong> The Warden wears a white bodysuit of kevlar, nomex and light weight titanium and a matching white cloak. The cloak actually appears to arc upwards from the point where it meets his suit at the upper chest and falls back over his shoulders as opposed to simply resting over. He wears a powerbelt and bracers of gold. A yellow glow on his chest forms a 'W,' the same glow emanates from his eyes. There is also a 'W' emboss on his belt. Wardens eyes glow with a yellow/golden shine, similar to the shine from his belt. His actual eye colour, if he even has 'eyes' is unknown. <br><br><br><strong>Powers:</strong><br>Enhanced Attributes: Warden is capable of lifting far in excess of one hundred tons and almost invulnerable to conventional forms of injury. He is also capable of running a speeds beyond the finest human athlete and has reflexes to match.<br><br>Enhanced Senses: He is able to hear almost any sound at any volume or pitch. He has shown enough control to block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source/frequency. The range of his eyesight is also far greater than that of a human being.<br><br>Flight: Warden can fly at speeds up to at least mach five.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>All-tongue: When Warden speaks, his voice is heard in the listeners native tongue. <br><br><strong>Skills:</strong><br>Combat: Warden is an experienced fighter but has never honestly been challenged in single combat. His form of combat resembles Kick boxing and Krav Maga.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><strong>Special Equipment:</strong> Warden's belt is clearly not a simple bodybuilding unit, while it is clearly some fort of tech, its use is unclear. <br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong><br>Two years ago 'The Warden' made his presence known in he world, garbed in a suit of white and gold with a fantastic cape, a real life Superman. Since then he has done his best to keep France, Europe and the world itself safe.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Aleksandr Ilyich Zhukov<br><strong>Age:</strong> 29<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> Russian<br><strong>Place of Residence:</strong> Svobodny Cosmodrome<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Aleksandr's most prominent characteristic is his stoic endurance. He has a black sense of humour, and his mirth is often muted when it is present. In his own way, however, Aleksandr is an affable fellow. <br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">An Image</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://imageshack.us/a/img580/5469/silvereyes.jpg)</div></div><br>Aleksandr is seven and a half feet tall. <br><br><strong>Codename:</strong> Red Winter<br><strong>Outfit:</strong> Aleksandr wears a red bodysuit that leaves only his head bare. It is made of super-scientific polymers that collectivize some of Aleksandr's power to withstand the forces they are subjected to - while he wears the suit, it is as durable and resistant to harm as he is. It has the emblem of the Russian Aerospace Defence Forces on the chest.<br><strong>Powers:</strong><br><em>Intelligence:</em> 2<br><em>Strength:</em> 7<br><em>Speed:</em> 3/6<br><em>Durability:</em> 7<br><em>Energy Projection:</em> 5<br><em>Fighting Ability:</em> 3<br><br>Aleksandr is the result of Soviet super-science.<br><br>Aleksandr's tissues are all superhumanly dense, increasing his mass significantly. <br><br>His speed on foot is limited, though by any measure still superhuman. He is capable of exit velocity speeds in flight, and outside of a planetary atmosphere is capable of speeds approaching, but not equaling, the speed of light. <br><br>Aleksandr is capable of surviving the vacuum of space by virtue of his own durability. He requires no special equipment to survive in a vacuum.<br><br>Aleksandr has no need for food or sleep, though he engages in both depending upon his mood. It is frequently done to 'humanize' himself to others. He is incapable of becoming drunk or intoxicated.<br><br>Aleksandr will perfectly heal from any damage that he suffers without dying. He will regenerate lost limbs and organs. He heals at a superhuman rate, but not at the rates of those possessing 'regenerative' healing factors. Between this and his superhuman durability, his immune system renders him immune to all illnesses.<br><br>Aleksandr possesses some degree of superhuman sensory perception; when moving at superhuman speeds he is able to perceive his environment at sufficient speeds as to not crash into obstructions. He is also able to perceive changes in temperature, texture, and so forth, despite being unaffected by extremes of hot and cold.<br><br>Aleksandr is capable of projecting golden energy from his eyes. This energy can be projected in such a fashion as to be likened to a 'projected punch,' inflicting blunt force, or more akin to super-heating its target.<br><br><strong>Skills:</strong> Aleksandr is proficient in hand-to-hand combat, trained in sambo. He is also familiar with and adequately skilled in the use of conventional small arms employed by the Soviet-era and Post-Soviet Russian Army. <br><br>Aleksandr is a fluent English speaker (his mother tongue is Russian). He also has a basic understanding of astronomy.<br><br><strong>Special Equipment:</strong> A smart phone capable of all normal function, and a compass.<br><br><strong>Backstory:</strong> Aleksandr was created by one of many Soviet super-soldier projects. He was one of the successes of said projects, and he was something of a poster child for then Ministry of Defence Space Units. At age 6 he was responsible for ferrying Soviet satellites into space, and on several occasions rescued cosmonauts from cosmic storms or incoming meteors and asteroids. After the fall of the Soviet Union and his branch's integration into the Strategic Rocket Forces, Aleksandr's star waned. <br><br>In the turbulence of the post-Soviet era Aleksandr did what he could to protect the people, and clashed with organized criminals on many occasions.&nbsp; More than one team of ex-Spetsnaz turned enforcers found themselves broken by Aleksandr's might. Sometimes Aleksandr's failed - his youth and inexperience making him unable to triumph over older, mature super-soldiers with greater skill. As he grew older such losses became more infrequent. <br><br>Aleksandr was deployed into combat zones, where he acquitted himself well. He fought in Chechnya, Georgia, and made an appearance on the Kuril Islands along with several other Russian super-soldiers. In other areas, he recovered submarines lost at sea, such as the Kursk and the K-159, lifting them from the sea bed and returning them to be repaired or dismantled. <br><br>Aleksandr frequently flies off to other countries, helping with humanitarian projects. He has helped to built dams for flood relief, clean up oil slicks, delivery food and medical supplies, and protected Red Cross and other humanitarian aid workers.

				<strong>Name:</strong> Rachel Black<br><strong>Age:</strong> 29<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> American<br><strong>Place of Residence:</strong> New York City, America<br><strong>Personality:</strong> Rachel is, for the most part, a relatively quiet and sedate sort of a person; not speaking much outside of her job and seemingly often having problems relating to others. While she does have an extensive knowledge of her field, she seems to rarely stray outside of it or her personal comfort zone. In her professional life, Rachel is driven and determined, career-focused and goal-orientated, but again, rarely straying from her personal comfort zone.<br><br>When she is ‘in costume’, however, Redline seems to undergo a radical personality shift. She is loud, brash, confident, cocky and more then a little show-offish. She will constantly quip and exchange banter both with her colleagues and with any enemies she is fighting, seemingly enjoying the exchange. Redline prefers to be showy and noticeable, enjoying being seen in action.<br><br><strong>Appearance:</strong> <br>(Have not chosen a model as yet)<br><br><br><strong>Codename:</strong> Redline<br><strong>Outfit:</strong> A form-fitting one-piece black bodysuit, covering neck to toes and leaving nothing exposed in between. The suit is adorned with bright red lines that glow when she is using her powers.<br><br>(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/paigesuit.png)<br><br><br><strong>Powers:</strong><br>*<strong>Energy Generation and Projection:</strong> Redline is able to generate energy from within her body and then project it from her hands as a weapon. She can manipulate and control the strength and intensity of her beams, varying form simple harmless light to potentially lethal blasts. These blasts take the form of brilliant red energy beams, impossible to conceal.<br><br>*<strong>Energy Absorption</strong>: Redline is able to absorb energy from nearby artificial sources, such as electricity or batteries, and use it to boost her own powers. This can include energy weapons and the like, but not innate energy powers of other Superhumans.<br><br>*<strong>Energy Barriers:</strong> Redline is able to create barriers of energy that absorb oncoming projectiles and other energy blasts. She can vary their size from personal to covering a small group of people. The barriers are very obvious, taking the form of bright red hemispheres<br><br>*<strong>Energy Flight:</strong> Redline is able to fly through pure energy projection; maximum speed approx 750-1,200 km/h.

For the most part, a normal person; graduating from university with a degree of computer science, her combination of intellect, knowledge and personal drive had seen her quickly rise to the head of the IT department at one branch of a large firm. Focused on her career, for the most part, her life was predictable and routine, allowing her to get where she wanted to go in life.<br><br>And then everything changed. Rachel had the misfortune to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and caught in the middle of a superhuman battle. The notorious villain, Doctor Greif, had built a “red energy generator” as a part of one of his mad science experiments and had been planning to use it to unleash his latest doomsday weapon. Damaged during the battle, the device exploded, saturating Rachel with its energy.<br><br>The blast should have killed her; instead, it empowered her, turning her into some sort of living energy generator. Experimentation revealed to her that she was able to control and manipulate its power, using it to fly and create various energy blasts and barriers. It also seemed to have awakened something within her; the driven and predictable Rachel had become a lot more adventurious and outgoing, and certainly was eager to explore what her newfound abilities could do.<br><br>Rachel decided that she wanted to use her powers; she wanted to do something worthwhile with her newfound abilities, as well as a desire to protect others from going through what she had. However, underneath that, there was also a simple desire to have an alternative to her prior, mundane life, and to do something exciting and a little unpredictable.<br>
