## History

### Orgin

#### Upbringing

Ellie Keen, later known as the superhero Ms. Rapid, was born in Rapid City to Dan Keen and Jenny Keen. She was born to a family who was highly active in sports and fitness. Her father was a coach for Rapid City High School, and her mother was personal trainer. From a young age, Ellie loved running and being active. She excelled in sports, and was a star member of the track and field team. She was constantly trying to outdo her peers in every competition, and she quickly gained a reputation for being lightning fast.

During her senior year of high school, Ellie continued to pursue her love of running, participating in several local races and even winning a few. Unfortunately, one race turned tragic when a hit-and-run driver, attempting to evade the police, drove into the midst of the runners, causing multiple casualties. Ellie ended up being the only survivor out of the victims, but sustained permanent injuries and was paralyzed from the waist down.

While under medical care at the hospital, Ellie slipped into a deep coma. During this period, she found herself in what she thought was the after life, thinking she was dead. She had experienced an out-of-body phenomenon and found herself floating in a non-physical place. Unbeknownst to her, she had somehow ended up in the realm of Veloceum. A realm existing beyond the confines of time, space, and the multiverse, where energy and motion are the fundamental building blocks of existence. In Veloceum, there are no fixed forms or objects; everything is in a perpetual state of flux and movement governed by the forces of speed and velocity.

Ellie was in shock and didn't believe what she was experiencing. It wasn't long until she started hearing multiple muffled voices in the distance. But somehow, they felt close to her at the same time.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* **Superhuman Speed:** As her name implies, Ms. Rapid possesses remarkable running abilities. Following an injection of concentrated lightning, she gained the capacity to move at lightning speed, and her velocity has continued to escalate with each use of her powers. Consequently, her exceptional speed may be limitless, as seen when comparing her early superhero performances to more recent ones. During a discussion with Manchine, Ms. Rapid tested her powers and mentioned the speed of lightning as her limit. However, Manchine proposed that while the bolt itself moves at the speed of lightning, the flashes that accompany a lightning strike travel at the speed of light, which is significantly higher than the bolt's speed. Specifically, the flashes move at 670,000,000 mph (1,078,260,480 km/h), whereas the bolt travels at 270,000 mph (434,522 km/h). It can be inferred that Ms. Rapid has the potential to attain the speed of light in the future. However, in all her iterations thus far, Ms. Rapid has not demonstrated the ability to reach this speed.
	+ **Phasing**: By vibrating her molecules on an atomic level, and by doing so at just the right frequency, she can allow herself to become momentarily intangible, and phase through objects for a short period of time.
	+ **Intangibility**: By accelerating her molecular frequency to a high enough degree, Ellie can make her body intangible and allow projectiles to pass through her. Ms. Rapid can use this ability to bypass dangers, such as explosions.
	+ **Speed Mirage**: Ms. Rapid's ability to create Speed Mirages is a unique manifestation of her speedster powers. When she moves at superhuman speed, she leaves behind a trail of afterimages, or Speed Mirages, that make it appear as though there are multiple copies of her in different locations. This power can be incredibly useful in combat situations. By creating Speed Mirages, Ms. Rapid can confuse her opponents and make it difficult for them to track her movements. She can also use the mirages to create distractions or mislead her enemies. In addition to combat, Ms. Rapid can also use her Speed Mirages to help others. For example, she can create mirages to distract enemies while she rescues hostages or to confuse a villain who is trying to escape. She can also use the mirages to help people who are lost by leaving a trail of afterimages to guide them to safety.
		- **Speed Cloning**: Ms. Rapid's power of Speed Cloning is an extension of her ability to create Speed Mirages. Instead of just leaving afterimages behind her, she can actually create physical duplicates of herself through the manipulation of her own speed. These Speed Clones are exact replicas of Ms. Rapid, possessing all of her physical abilities and powers. They are perfect copies of her, but they only last for a short amount of time before fading away. Ms. Rapid can use her Speed Clones in a variety of ways. In combat, she can create multiple clones to overwhelm her opponents or to distract them while she makes her escape. She can also use them to perform multiple tasks at once, such as rescuing multiple hostages or disarming multiple bombs.
	+ **Focused Time Perception**: She can perceive time in slow motion, giving her a heightened awareness of her surroundings and allowing her to react quickly to potential threats or dangerous situations. With Focused Time Perception, Ms. Rapid is able to analyze situations in a way that other people cannot. She can quickly assess the movements of her enemies or the trajectory of incoming objects and respond in the most effective way possible. This ability also allows her to react to situations that would be too fast for a normal person to perceive.
	+ **Accelerated Healing Factor**: This power allows her to heal from injuries at an accelerated rate, meaning that she can recover from wounds much more quickly than a normal person. This ability gives Ms. Rapid several benefits in combat situations. For example, if she is injured during a fight, she can quickly heal herself and get back into the action. Additionally, the accelerated healing factor means that she can take more risks in combat, as she knows that she can recover from injuries fast. Outside of combat, Ms. Rapid's accelerated healing factor also has many benefits. She can recover from illnesses or injuries much more quickly than a normal person, allowing her to maintain her superhero duties even when she is sick or injured. This power also allows her to maintain a high level of physical fitness, as she can recover from strenuous workouts more quickly than a normal person.
* **Electric Aura**: Ms. Rapid's Electric Aura is a manifestation of the electrical energy that she generates when she moves at superhuman speeds. Her aura is a powerful electric field that surrounds her body and can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes. When Ms. Rapid activates her Electric Aura, it generates a strong electrical field around her body, which can harm anyone who comes into contact with it. This can be useful in combat situations, as enemies who get too close to her can be knocked back or stunned by the electrical field. Ms. Rapid can also use her Electric Aura for defensive purposes. For example, she can use it to create a protective shield around herself, which can deflect incoming attacks or absorb energy-based attacks.
	+ **Electric Trail**: Whenever Ms. Rapid uses her superhuman speed, she generates a significant amount of energy in the form of electricity and lightning. This is because her powers are based on manipulating kinetic energy, and as she moves at high speeds, she generates a lot of kinetic energy, which is then converted into electrical energy. The electricity and lightning that she leaves behind her trail can be incredibly powerful, and can be dangerous to anyone who comes into contact with it. Ms. Rapid must be careful when using her powers, as she can unintentionally harm others if she moves too quickly in crowded or confined spaces. In addition, the electricity and lightning that she generates can be useful in combat situations. Ms. Rapid can use the energy to stun or incapacitate her enemies, or to destroy obstacles or barriers that are in her way.
	+ **Lightning Bolt Projection**: Ms. Rapid's ability to charge and channel blue lightning bolts is a unique manifestation of her speedster powers. When she moves at superhuman speed, she generates an electrical charge, which she can then channel into bolts of blue lightning. These lightning bolts can be incredibly powerful, capable of knocking down buildings or even taking out powerful enemies. Ms. Rapid can also use the bolts to create powerful shockwaves that can knock back enemies or destroy obstacles. She can also use her blue lightning bolts to perform a variety of other tasks. For example, she can use them to power up electronic devices or to jumpstart a car's engine. She can also use the bolts to create a quick burst of light, which can be useful for illuminating dark areas.

* **Superhuman Reflexes:** Ms. Rapid's superhuman speed gives her incredibly fast reflexes. She can react to situations with lightning-fast reflexes, allowing her to dodge attacks, catch objects in mid-air, or even catch bullets with her hands. Her reflexes also allow her to process information quickly, making her an excellent strategist and tactician in combat situations.
* **Superhuman Stamina**: Her body is incredibly efficient at producing and using energy, allowing her to maintain high levels of physical activity for extended periods of time without tiring. This means that she can use her superhuman speed and other powers for long periods of time without becoming fatigued, making her a formidable opponent in combat.
* **Superhuman Agility**: In addition to her speed, Ms. Rapid also possesses incredible agility. She can move and change direction with ease, making her very difficult to hit in combat. Her agility also allows her to perform acrobatic feats such as flips, jumps, and other maneuvers, making her a versatile fighter.
* **Superhuman Durability**: Her electric aura gives her superhuman durability which allows her to withstand physical damage and injury more effectively than a normal person. She can withstand blows from powerful enemies, as well as other forms of physical trauma, without sustaining significant injury. Her durability also allows her to withstand extreme temperatures, pressures, and other environmental factors, making her well-suited for a variety of combat situations.
