-Overcharge

### Early Life

**Finn Harper** was born in NYC, New York to parents Jake Harper and Triss Harper. His father, Jake, worked at Anomaly Industries as a quantum computer mechanic. Because of this, Finn grew up with a big interest in technology.

One day, when Finn was 11, he went to work with his dad. That same day, there was a cooling system malfunction at Anomaly Industries that caused several computers to explode. This massive explosion killed several workers, including Jake Harper, and severely damaged the building. This damaged caused a large beam to fall on Finn, breaking his spine in 2 places. This injury rendered him completely paralyzed from the waist down.

After the death of his father and paralysis, Finn and his mother moved to a small apartment in Brooklyn. Finn went to a downtown school and was occasionally bullied by fellow school-mates for being crippled. This caused him to mostly retreat to technology for friends and became a tech genius.

### Hacker

When **Finn Harper** was 16, he became a white hat hacker by the name **Enigma**. Because of his extensive knowledge of computers and even quantum computers, he quickly became a very prominent figure in the online community. Unfortunately, his skills led to him being exploited by another hacker named, **Data-Mine**. Data-Mine used pirated algorithms from Finn to breach the security of a federal building. Of course, this breach was stopped and Finn, or Enigma, was framed for the attack. This betrayal in the hacker community, the place he felt safe, nearly destroyed Finn. He quickly retired his role as Enigma, having only been it for 2 years.

### Becoming Overcharge

At the age of 18, **Finn Harper** was working at a local deli to make money to help support his ill mother. One day, after work, Finn was on his way home when he was stopped by a man in a fancy suit. The man introduced himself to Finn as **Mr. Evergreen**. He told Finn that he had a proposition for him that could change his life; help him to walk again and take care of his mother. Finn was taken aback by Mr. Evergreen's knowledge of his life and told him he wasn't interested, threatening to call the police.

The next night, Finn and his mother's apartment was robbed. Finn realized that Mr. Evergreen was right: he couldn't protect those whom he loved. He went back to same place he met the sharply dressed man the night before, and found a business card on the sidewalk with the name Mr. Evergreen and an address. Finn went to the address and found a modern looking building. Mr. Evergreen greeted him at the door and praised that he changed his mind. Mr. Evergreen now explained his proposition: His private lab had been working on cure to common diseases and ailments by using altered animal DNA. They have had many positive results. Finn asked how Mr. Evergreen knew who he was to which he simply stated that he knew everything about the people in the city. Mr. Evergreen then showed Finn a capsule on one of the lab's desks. Inside was a glowing orange pill. This pill contained modified DNA from an electric eel. Mr. Evergreen continued that once Finn took it, the genetic traits of an eel would cause his damaged nerves and spinal cord to regenerate. This seemed too good to be true, but at this point Finn was desperate. He agreed to come back for the administration of the pill.

When Finn came back next, he was given the pill. Upon taking the pill, he immediately felt nauseous and went home without telling his mother what had happened. The next day nothing had changed in his condition. 3 weeks went by and still he remained paralyzed. Finally, after a month, he woke up and could move his legs. Over the next few weeks he started developing new and strange abilities, and struggled to control them. All this time, however, he was still angry at Mr. Evergreen for lying to him and took an interest in bringing justice. He decided to use his unique gifts to help stop crime in Brooklyn and donned the name Overcharge after trying to charge his phone and exploding it.

### Moving To San Francisco

After doing hero stuff for a couple of months and learning the ropes in Brooklyn, he turned back to his original plan: stopping Mr. Evergreen from further harming more innocent people. He learned that Mr. Evergreen worked for a company in San Francisco called **Zander Labs**. With his mother fully recovered from her illness, Finn left home and moved to San Francisco and started renting an apartment.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Superhuman Strength:** Finn possesses superhuman strength, making him capable of lifting about 10 tons. This ability also allows him to launch himself into the air. He also has extreme durability, able to sustain falls and damage not survivable by normal humans.
* **Superhuman Speed:** Finn has the ability to run at high speeds, beyond the rate of even the best athletes. In Maximum Charge mode, Finn can run at the speed of lightning.
* **Superhuman Stamina:** Due to his slight healing factor, Finn's musculature produces less fatigue toxins during physical activity. This allows him to exert himself for long periods of time before feeling fatigued.
* **Superhuman Durability:** Finn's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. His body is also more resistant to impact forces than most humans. He can withstand great impacts, such as being thrown through a plate-glass window.
* **Superhuman Agility:** Finn's agility, balance, flexibility, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of an Olympic-level gymnast.
* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Overcharge's reflexes are 20 times greater than those of an ordinary human. This is mostly due to his Electro-Sense which allows him to dodge almost all attacks.
* **Electro-Sense:** When danger is present, Finn feels a slight buzzing sensation in his mind in the direction of the incoming danger. This sense comes from the ability to detect electric fields.
* **Bio-Electrokinesis:** Finn's entire nervous system is coated in electrolytes, allowing him control over the natural electricity his body produces. He can use this for offensive purposes.
	+ **Electro-Blast:** Overcharge can release electricity from his hands in varying degrees. This varies from slight dazing to full incapacitation.
	+ **Electro-Punch:** Finn can charge his fists with electricity, enhancing the power of his punches.
	+ **Electro-Beam:** Finn can channel his bio-electricity in a direct beam of energy.
	+ **Mega-Blast:** Finn has the ability to release a powerful burst of energy that leaves him exhausted. This can be triggered by extreme stress or focus.
	+ **Electro-Whip:** Finn can produce threads of bio-electricity that can be used to whip things around or even swing.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Finn is able to regenerate injuries at a faster rate than normal humans can. His spine and nervous system healed, allowing him to reach peak superhuman ability.
	+ **Electro-Sight:** Finn is able to "see" the world around his by detecting electric fields. This allows him to move freely even when blinded.
	+ **Electricity Absorption:** Overcharge is able to absorb insane amounts of energy without being injured. Sometimes this causes him slight discomfort.
	+ **Bio-Electric Force Bolts:** Overcharge can project powerful bursts of bio-electric energy from his hands.
	+ **Electrical Wall Crawling:** Overcharge can adhere to surfaces to climb using electrostatic clinging on a molecular level from hands or feet.
	+ **Electric Pull:** Finn can pull himself towards something or pull things toward him.
	+ **Lightning Calling**
	+ **Electrokinetic Invisibility**
