## Cora Hex

"Like me, you say? You've never dealt with anyone like me."

## Personal Information

### Status

Alive/Active

Coraline Hendrix: a college student with a promising future in the world of engineering, even hoping as far as to take up a job at Horizon Labs on the other side of the country; that is until her father's death. It wasn't long after that Coraline was involved in a horrific explosion, which left her in a coma. The stay wouldn't be long, as she would be taken by a mysterious scientist, becoming an unwilling guinea pig, turning into a dangerous weapon. She escaped confinement after many years of experimenting, now a vigilante known as Cora Hex: a woman out of time.

## Appearance

Coraline is 5'8, weighs 135 lbs, and has a pale skin tone.

Her distinguishing features post-experiment are 2 light blue exposed cybernetic circuits under eyes, gloved left hand to hide her mechanical hand, and several exposed cybernetic circuits across limbs and body, which is covered by clothing, or the armour that is permanently bonded to her.

## Relationships

* Black Panther (T'Chari) - Situational Enemy
* Jonathan Hendrix - Father (deceased)

## Powers/Abilities

* **Augmented Cybernetic/Human Biology**: Cora Hex’s body has undergone many changes via experimental surgery, having parts of her body replaced with cybernetics and other related paraphernalia.
	+ **Augmented Stamina**: As a result of the surgery performed on her, Cora Hex can keep herself awake for long periods of time, and can go without having any food or water for a while, although she continues to eat and sleep like a normal human just to feel some type of normalcy.
	+ **Augmented Strength**: Cora Hex is able to lift up to 800 lbs, but if pushed enough, may be able to lift even more, though it may come as a detriment to her if not careful. Her punches can be lethal to the average human, needing to hold herself back during battles.
	+ **Augmented Durability**: Cora Hex can withstand a high amount of damage before succumbing thanks to her cybernetic body. She can tank bullets, small to medium explosives, survive falling from tall buildings, and can take hits from superhumans just as strong or slightly stronger than her.
	+ **Augmented Leap**: Cora Hex can jump higher and leap further than the average human; she can jump up several stories, and leap to distances up to 3 ½ blocks.
	+ **Augmented Throwing**: Cora Hex can throw objects with more precision, handling and speed.
	+ **Augmented Speed**: Cora Hex can run up to speeds faster than a normal human and even some vehicles if she pushed herself further.
	+ **Augmented Intelligence**: Although she was already intelligent enough before her transformation, her augmented brain has altered Cora Hex’s intelligence greatly, possessing a higher IQ than she originally did.
	+ **Electricity Immunity**: Thanks to the experimental surgery that was performed on her along with the electrical explosion at her university, Cora Hex has developed an immunity to electricity, giving her an advantage against electric-based opponents or traverse electric fields that are considered hazardous to most humans or superhumans.
	+ **Night Vision**: Cora Hex is able to see through the darkness thanks to her augmented vision, though it comes as a blessing and a curse if she were to surprise her opponent  as her eyes, as well as any of her exposed circuits, glow dimly in the dark; Cora can use the darkness and her dimly lit self to intimidate her opponent, however they may be able to spot her easily if she isn’t careful.

## Skills

* **CQC (Close Quarters Combat)**: During her time in captivity, Cora was "programmed" with the ability to fight in close quarters. She has no particular style however, ultimately using her newfound augmented abilities to fight, but one can assume she has a rough brawler/mixed martial arts style of fighting.
* **Hacking**: With her augmented intelligence, Cora can hack into most, if not all systems on Earth. Tougher systems will require more time and ease, however lesser systems are no match for her.

## Weaknesses

* Coraline's cybernetic body is prone to freezing up on some occasions, so she would maintain herself in order to stay as mobile and fluid as she possibly can.

## Equipment

* **Quad Blaster**: Cora owns a custom built blaster made for her; it can shoot electric bolts.

## Personality

Coraline is a bubbly person, and friendly to approach despite her outward appearance. Before her transformation, she kept to herself, as she rather focused on her studies. That same mindset can be said for when she keeps criminals on the streets, as she has no time for small talk. Occasionally, she will become boastful pre-battle, inadvertently getting into the head of her opponent.

On the other hand, being the bubbly person that she is, Coraline isn't afraid to become friends with people, but on occasion can be quite a klutz.

## Trivia & Quotes

* Cora is easily impressed by many things; when she as escaping confinement, she single-handedly took out many of the security coming after her. Despite her situation, she was wowed with what she could do.
