## **History**

### **Maxine Hunkel: 2020 - Present**

Maxine Hunkel is the granddaughter of the original Red Tornado, Abigail "Ma" Hunkel, an honorary member of the Justice Society and current caretaker of their headquarters. Maxine grew up idolizing her grandmother's allies in the JSA.

As she just graduated from high school, Maxine was once kidnapped by T.O. Morrow, the mad scientist who created the second Red Tornado, a powerful android after that Maxine's grandmother Abigal was fixing Red Tornado to make his less villainous. He injected her with Red Tornado technology nanobots, The JLA, and The Titans save her and her grandma manage to take her out her nanobots but this experience triggers her metahuman powers.

Cheerful, bubbly, and extremely intelligent (4.0 GPA and 1300 SAT score in high school), Maxine is an 18-year-old student at Harvard University and an avid fan of musical theater, particularly the play, *Wicked*. However, her talkative nature and know-it-all personality often alienate her from her peers and leave the young woman isolated. Her outcast status causes her to suffer from atypical depression.

In recent months, she has begun to manifest unusual superhuman abilities. A sneeze demolished her grandmother's garage and, the next day, she awoke inside a tornado five hundred feet off the ground. The young woman soon realized that she has the power to manipulate wind.

When the Justice Society decides to expand its ranks and provide training to new heroes, Maxine is one of the first recruits on their list. She is invited to join the team by Power Girl and Mr. Terrific and accepts through extreme amounts of excitement (her motormouth response nearly causes them to revoke the offer). Shortly afterward she is introduced to the rest of the JSA and her fa girl personality becomes evident in her bubbling reaction to meeting her heroes, particularly fellow teen Stargirl. As a way to ease her pain overseeing Mr. America's death, Stargirl takes her to a room full of colorful fabrics, and (playing on Maxine's college major and interest, the theater) asks her to select her new outfit.

In her 'rookie phase' with the Justice Society, she helped defeat the Fourth Reich, assisted the Justice League during the Lightning Saga, and fought the Heartbreak Slayer when he attacked Justice Society headquarters. Along the way she visited the Fortress of Solitude and teamed up with the android Red Tornado.

## **Appearance**

Maxine is a beautiful Caucasian female with red hair, green eyes, and freckles. Her hair is incredibly curly long.

Maxine costume is based on the Wicked Witch of the West. Wearing a green dress with a golden spiral on it. With long tube red and white striped socks. White boots. The cutest thing about her costume is she has a green pointy witch hat.

## **Personality**

Cyclone loves to explore things like cuisine, music, and the like. She found she had a passion for dancing, singing, and already had favorite foods. Furthermore, she had a deep interest in Broadway plays and even though her phone has downloaded or streamed such performances, she knew all the lyrics to the songs from “Wicked”.

## **Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses**

### **Powers**

**Metahuman Physiology:** After Morrow infects Maxine with "nanobots" trigger her metagene that is the apparent source of her powers. ARGUS ranks her power to Level 6.

* **Air Manipulation:** Maxine possesses the power of wind manipulation. She is able to mentally summon cyclones and whirlwinds, project powerful bursts of air, and glide through the air on wind currents. She had the ability to mentally direct air particles, allowing her to amplify small vibrations in the air and draw far-off sounds to her ears, disrupt the equilibrium of others with compressed air, lift herself off the ground for flight, create sharp forces of wind that can cut through material, and create isolated whirlwinds or directed blasts of high-pressure air control and manipulate the movement of air.
	+ **Deflection:** She is able to deflect approaching objects with ease.
	+ **Cyclone Creation:** She can create massive tornadoes, huge cyclones that react to the environment by themselves, or bend to her will. Likewise she can create smaller twisters to blow down doors or small enough to gently blow loose clothing and hair.
	+ **Air Blasts:** She can force wind outwards in an air blast cone, direct blows, and in larger areas around herself.
	+ **Flight:** She can either glide on wind currents or create a direct cyclonic wind beneath her to guide her flight.
	+ **Long-Distance Eavesdropping:** Maxine could amplify small vibrations in the air, which allowed her to hear faraway conversations.
