Main Power Origins: Kryptonian Physiology
PowersKryptonian Physiology - Kryptonians are well documented at this point and extremely dangerous. Primarily, they absorb radiation and use it to fuel the absurd power that they tend to wield. These abilities are often enhanced versions of natural abilities all creatures share.
- Superhuman Physicality - As with all Kryptonians, Cassie can empower herself using the solar energy she absorbs as a resource, which fuels all of her powers. On average she can lift about 3 tons, depending on how overcharged she is with solar energy. At maximum, she can lift about 6 tons. Additionally, Cassie's solar energy can manifest itself as a barrier, protecting both her and her suit. She is able to shrug off up to about 10 tons rather easily. This also allows her to survive gunfire and extreme conditions such as the heat of an active volcano or the cold of the outer reaches of space. Finally, Cassie can harness this energy to move extremely quickly. She is quick enough to intercept and catch bullets between her fingers quite easily.
- Heat Vision - Cassie is able to use solar radiation she has absorbed to alter her body's characteristics, causing other strange powers, such as Heat Vision. By increasing the reflective properties of her retinas, Casse is generates powerful beams of heat that propel foreward. Heat Vision stretches as far as Cassie can see, but using it uninterrupted can cause short term blindness. This is the most taxing of her abilities and drains solar energy extremely quickly. Heat vision burns at roughly 1500 degrees farenheit.
- Super Senses - Kryptonians can hear the smallest sounds from miles away, see on a nearly microscopic level and through any material but lead and Kryptonite, and has a nearly photographic memory. These senses can be abused by clever enemies. Additionally, by manipulating her vocal chords, Cassie can become a master ventriloquist, capable of perfectly mimicking the voice of anyone she's heard, or throwing her voice to most nearby locations, provided the acoustics line up for her.
- Super Breath - Finally, she can use the air in her lungs and manipulate the volume produced, resulting in Super Breath. This ability allows her to create small vortexes, blow back enemies, and even pull them in by inhaling. Generally this blows back up to around 500 lbs rather easily, but entities with enhanced strength are often able to resist it. By compressing the air instead, the law of thermodynamics causes it to cool, resulting in her Freeze Breath instead. This variant causes enemies to be coated in a thin layer of ice. Most foes with even remotely enhanced strength can break free easily, but with prolonged exposure, Cassie can freeze things entirely and encase them in a very thick ice to restrain, or to protect.
- Flight - Kryptonians all have the ability to defy gravity and take to the sky, and Cassie is no different. When she really tries to move, she can fly at about Mach 3 (the speed of a jet plane, 3000 mph) However, she finds it incredibly difficult to maintain her altitude at that speed, as well as to stop. So when flying in populated areas or in combat, she prefers to stick to an absolute max of about 250 mph. (The fast speed is mostly for off planet travel. She's well aware that going that fast is...absurd.)
SkillsMulti-Lingual
AbilitiesNatural Combatant, but largely untrained
Physical WeaknessesKryptonite
Well this is well documented. The radioactive remnants of the Kryptonian homeworld, Kryptonite is incredibly dangerous to Kryptonians, and each of their effects are listed blow.
- Spoiler:
Green – The true classic. Green Kryptonite severely weakens any Kryptonian who comes into contact with it, and it can even kill them if exposed to it for too long.
Red – Severely weakens any Kryptonian that comes into contact with it, much more so than Green. A bullet made of the stuff is almost certain to kill one.
Gold – Extremely rare. With prolonged exposure, this removes a Kryptonian's superpowers. Forever. Or at least until some crazy stupid experiment brings them back.
Silver – Causes hallucinations. These are so vivid that they can actually cause a Kryptonian pain if it is inflicted in their vision.
Black – Splits a Kryptonian into two equally powerful halves. One good, one evil.
Periwinkle–Another psychadelic Kryptonite, this removes all inhibitions of a Kryptonian exposed to it. It causes them to make poor decisions, makes anotherwise unwilling Kryptonian totally willing to kill, and suddenly makes the rest of the city seem pretty pointless to protect.
Pink – No joke, this type of Kryptonite toys with the mentality of a Kryptonian and...changes their sexual orientation. This is canon guys, google it.
Magic
Kryptonians have a marked lack of invulnerability against magic. It's not necessarily a weakness, but a lot more of the damage from a magical attack will make it through Cassie's barrier, making her duraiblity against it more equivalent to one ton.
Solar Radiation
Kryptonians absorb their power from a yellow or blue sun. However, if exposed to a red sun such as the one Krypton was in the orbit of, their powers will steadily drain harmlessly until they are no stronger than a simple human. A blue sun however causes their powers to more than triple in strength, so be careful of that, as she probably won't be able to control that.
Super Senses
Cassie's powers can also be used against her in creative ways. For example, her super hearing. Extremely high pitches can cause her to get sick, cause migraines, and give her vertigo.
Half-Kryptonian
Well, Cassie is only halfway to Kryptonian. She still has a very human mother, and because of that she has certain limits normal Kryptonians don't have. Her powers cap, she can't breathe in space (without an aparatus, she's perfectly durable enough to survive there), she can't survive off sunlight rather than food and water, and she gets tired like anyone else.
Mental WeaknessesRage
Cassie's Kryptonian DNA parent is Faora-Ul of the House Ul. As such, she was bred to be a warrior. Immensely powerful, fueled by hatred and rage, and incredibly violent. Some of the traits have been passed to Cassie. She has a temper, and unleashing it will make her movements more ferocious, but also more predictable. Easier to manipulate.
EquipmentA phone
Her Suit
- Her mommy made her a suit. Yep. I'm serious.
«««CEREBRAL PROFILE»»»
PersonalityCassie is cocky, crass, and sarcastic. She can be quite the bull-headed jock, and by virtue shouldn't play along well with others. She will butt heads with authority that stands over her, she will start fights, and she will flaunt her immense power in ways that she
really shouldn't.
However, she was raised well enough that she has good values. She knows right from wrong, and violating that moral code of hers will land you right into a fight with her. She cares immensely for people who are willing to push past her jagged exterior, and for the planet she protects.
«««PERSONAL BACKGROUND»»»
Family Members: Alexa Walsh (Birth Mother); Maria Walsh (Mother's Partner; DNA Donor); Faora-Ul(DNA Donor, Deceased)
Place of Origin: STAR Labs
HistoryAlexa and Maria Walsh had been married about 5 years at the time of Cassie's conception. Maria was a humble tailor, gifted with thread and silk. Alexa however was a brilliant woman of science working with STAR Labs. While they loved each other dearly, there was one thing that the two wanted that they simply could not have. A child. A child of their own, to be precise. While it may have been a selfish desire, it was theirs to have, and they'd been trying to come up with a solution for a few years now, with Alexa leading research on stem cells and reproduction through them at her position at STAR Labs.
The prevailing problem was actually the human cells of her partner, Maria, as well as those of other volunteers. More often than not, they simply weren't durable or hardy enough to survive the conditions required for the preliminary studies, and follow ups wouldn't be possible without the required data of a success. It was a roadblock, and a rather hefty one at that. New experiments would need to be conducted.
Fortunately for the Earthlings, and unfortunately for the Kryptonian in the pod, there was an unidentified object crashing into the Earth just outside Gotham City. STAR Labs, of course, immediately sent researchers to determine the nature of the object and whatever its contents may be. Inside, they found a dead woman, impaled and killed on the ship's controls during the crash. The woman appeared to be human, but by now, everyone knew better.
With time, Alexa was able to identify the alien origin of this being, as well as the strange fabrics and materials they'd brought on the ship. Exposure to sunlight caused these cells to grow incredibly powerful, more durable. Which meant, based on what they'd learned from the big guy in blue, she was a Kryptonian. This meant the project she'd been working on could make an amazing breakthrough with this. Of course they'd need volunteers, and Maria and Alexa were at the front of the line, ready to do whatever it took.
Combining Kryptonian and Human cells were not an easy feat. It took months of work. Long, agonizing nights in the lab, but eventually they were able to bond. It was shaky, but fascinating. The two cells almost wanted to be conjoined, clearly the two races would be able to cross breed, and the results were fascinating. Terrifying, but fascinating.
In the face of adversity from their colleagues, the couple began undergoing their treatment, and Alexa was eventually impregnated with a little half-Kryptonian baby. The child would have to be female, there was no Y chromosome to be passed down from any of the participants in the experiment, but that was no problem. Not for them, anyway.
Growing up, Cassie was naturally gifted in every field she attempted. Her studies went well, given her enhanced memory and thought speed. She destroyed other kids when it came to sports, and she never knew any better. All the while, feeding the data back to STAR for processing. The first ever cross between humanity and Kryptonians.
Of course, nowadays she flies around wearing a cape and a fancy suit that her mother Maria made for her. Why does she do it? What horrible thing happened to her to make her hellbent on ending crime sprees and stopping the wicked? Nothing. She was simply raised with good values. If you have the power to stop something, and you refuse to do so, then whatever happens next is your fault.
