**Heidi Watts** (ハイジ・ワッツ, *Haiji Wattsu*), hero name **Zapp** (ザップ, *Zappu*), is a remarkably determined and energetic individual. She has an very cheery and somewhat childish personality and sense of humor, capable of sparking potential friendships among allies. She even has a more competitive side to her when it comes to sports and still shows amazing sportsmanship.

Despite her incredible superhuman speed and upbeat personality, Zapp was initially insecure of her abilities to be a team player due to her lack of offensive skills. She has a habit of usually derailing conversations and speaking from her mind when under pressure. However, Zapp does get a strong sense of confidence in tough situations, remaining fearless in face of an overwhelming opposition as much as possible.

## Equipment

* **High-Speed Suit** - A dark grey and blue attire resembling a volleyball uniform. The suit is composed of specific materials, constructed from the same silica-based quartz fabric employed by NASA to protect spaceships from burning up during planet re-entry. The shoes are worn to protect Zapp from the immense friction encountered when she runs, as well as being overall resistant to extreme temperatures, enabling her to traverse more dangerous environments.

## Powers & Abilities

### Powers

* **Speed Force Conduit** - Zapp, after being struck by lightning while holding a volatile chemical, gained a metahuman connection to the Speed Force, an extra-dimensional energy field granting her many speed-based superhuman abilities.
	+ **Superhuman Speed** - Zapp is capable of moving at tremendous hypersonic speeds, an ability so powerful that her movements are invisible to the naked eye. Blue electricity surrounds her body and trails her movements as Zapp traverses incredible distances with every step. The intensity of her speed allows Zapp to run along vertical surfaces, across bodies of water, vibrate her molecules through solid matter, and into other planes of frequency. All of Zapp's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to superhuman levels, allowing her to navigate or dodge effortlessly while moving at superhuman speed. Zapp also can come to a full stop despite the extreme inertia of her movements, otherwise known as momentum negation. This allows the speedster to further the illusion of having not moved at all if she moves at super-speed and returns to her previous location before anyone can notice it.
		- **Electricity Generation** - While moving at incredible speeds, Zapp generates a volley of electricity that can cause nearby technology to short-circuit or overload. With her highest levels being 2.86 billion joules (roughly the power of three lightning bolts), Zapp can generate enough force to greatly harm superhumanly strong foes without any harm to herself. She can focus the energy into specific body parts to produce a strong static shock on contact with the target. This also lets Zapp hurl lightning bolts to stun or repel enemies, and also electrify a surface. She can also absorb electricity from other sources, simultaneously giving her an extra boost when running or throwing lightning.
	+ **Accelerated Perception** - Zapp possesses reflexes far greater than a normal human being or creature. This allows her to easily react to danger and events, and perceive the world as though it is slowed down or standing still. In perspective, a single second for Zapp is roughly 1/100th of a normal second, giving Zapp plenty of time to react to situations and projectiles.
	+ **Accelerated Healing Factor** - Zapp's speed extends to her on a biological level, and thus, her metabolism functions faster than humans, allowing her to heal any injury within a short time frame. However, because of her accelerated metabolism, Zapp burns calories at a higher rate, keeping her body slim and fit, requiring Zapp to intake a high amount of calories to function normally.
	+ **Extreme Force Generation** - While moving at an accelerated speed, Zapp generates superhuman levels of momentum, which allow her to enhance the force behind her impacts and collisions, often propelling people and objects several meters, which is used to compensate for her humane levels of strength. This also leads to vibration, capable of shattering light objects with just a single touch or vibrate the ground beneath her.
	+ **Interdimensional Travel** - Zapp's incredible speed enables her to travel into other planes of frequency or dimensions, where other realities are located.
	+ **Chronokinesis** - Zapp can run fast enough to break through the fabric of the space-time continuum, enabling her to travel forward or backwards in time to monitor or alter past events. Zapp did make one crucial rule for herself and that is to never go faster than light unless absolutely necessary. She fears the effects of her own chronokinetic powers and makes sure to stay away from it as much as possible.

### Weaknesses

* **Unstoppable** - The main downside of Zapp's speed is that she simply cannot slow down her movement. Every time Zapp uses her legs, her very motion is sped up, meaning she is in a permanent state of walking really fast. Moving in any way across any surface will cause the world around her to slow down.
* **Thalassophobia**  - Zapp has a fear of large bodies of water and deep waters. The sight of such will throw her into a small panic and she will run away from it without a second thought. The exception of this fear, however, are aquatic creatures, including sharks and dolphins.

## Etymology

* Her given name, **Heidi**, means "nobility, the noble one".
* Her surname, **Watts**, refers to the SI unit of power in an electric circuit.
