**Evangeline Carter** is a fictional character in the *Graffiti* series, created by David Ragin.

Evangeline is a superhuman with the power to mimic the traits and abilities of any animal that she has come into contact with, although the abilities are enhanced to superhuman levels. Taking on the moniker of **Evamore** to help Dylan Johnson track down Switchblade, and later on helping Melrose establishing the Superhuman Community, Evangeline’s status as a superhero has fluctuated many times, finding herself constantly retiring and returning to hero work depending on the overall situation. Despite this, Evangeline has shown and proven herself to be one of the most powerful superhumans in the world due to her overall fighting skill and limitless potential of her powers.

In film, Evangeline Carter / Evamore is portrayed by Miniece Ragin, and has appeared in all three *Graffiti* films to date, *Graffiti: Dreams & Knightmares* (2013), *Graffiti: Welcome to Foxworth Enterprises* (2015), and *Graffiti: Heroes and Villains* (2017).

## **Background**

Evangeline Carter grew up as an only child living with her mother, a veterinarian, and her father, a superhuman that allegedly worked for the United States government. Her father left the family when Evangeline was three, and she never saw him again. When she was eight, she went to work with her mother at the animal hospital. While watching over the animals, she found that she could communicate with them. She shared a special bond with a stray dog named Sebastian, and although she did not adopt him, Sebastian never left the hospital. One day, while playing with the dog, she jokingly barked at him, and the sound was so loud and ferocious that shattered all of the windows in her mother’s work department. Her mother questioned this, and Evangeline told her about her newfound gift. Her mother then revealed that her father is a superhuman and the division that he works for specializes in superhuman activity, and that her new abilities probably were passed down to her through him. That day, her mom closed down the shop early and the two traveled to a nearby zoo so Evangeline could practice her ability to talk to animals and mimic their abilities. Years later, she met Melrose Hawthorne through a mutual friend, and they soon became best friends when Melrose revealed her powers to her. Evangeline would later attend school in a small city and actively participate in many different sports in order to stay in shape and exercise her wide variety of abilities.

## **Powers and Abilities**

* **Animal Mimicry:** Evangeline's main superhuman ability is that she can mimic the abilities, traits, and behavior of any animal that she has physically came into contact with, though she cannot transform into the animals physically. She does not naturally exhibit any of these abilities, however, and has to activate them personally. However, there is no limit to how many powers at a time she can use. While initially her powers would manifest with no visual, later on, a small burst of green energy emits from her body, with a faint image of the animal whose ability she uses.
	+ **Heightened Senses:** Evangeline's sense of smell, sight, taste and hearing are extremely stronger than others. Her senses are powerful enough to even track down superhumans who cannot be detected through telekinesis.
	+ **Enhanced Strength / *Gorilla Strength*:** Evangeline has strength beyond peak human level. She is able to lift heavy objects such as cars, trucks, and buses. Her strength limit has yet to be shown.
	+ **Enhanced Speed / *Cheetah Speed*:** Evangeline can move and react faster than the average human being, though her peak speed has yet to be shown.
	+ **Shockwave Generation / *Lion's Roar*:** Evangeline can emit an extremely powerful roar of a high amplitude for a variety of purposes; mostly offensive abilities and cause mass destruction.
	+ **Flight / *Eagle Flight*:** Evangeline can fly at extremely high speeds. However, it is unknown if she can control the speed of her flight, or if she has the ability to naturally hover or levitate.
	+ **Invisibility / *Chameleon Blend*:** Evangeline can render herself (and others) unseen by the naked eye and become invisible in visible spectrum. She can move about an environment unseen by others and act without being observed.
	+ **Claw Extension / *Tiger Claw*:** One of the few abilities that augment her body in a way, Evangeline can extend the length of her nails to varying degrees, and strengthen their durability to cut, shred and stab objects. She states that her claws can cut and pierce superhuman skin, even saying " I can use tiger claws to get past the skin and rip out his heart."
	+ **Shield Projection / *Turtle Shell*:** Evangeline can project a shield on her back to defend herself and others, which is constructed with superhuman energy. The size of the shield itself can vary depending on how much energy she expels.
	+ **Juggernaut Momentum / *Bull Tackle*:** Evangeline can become a massive inexorable force that can crush or knock back whatever is in her path.

* **Zoolingualism:** A secondary ability of Evangeline is that she can also talk to animal life forms and understand their reactions. It is currently unknown if she has any level of control over an animal's actions, or if she can influence any animals decision making.

* **Enhanced Durability:** As a superhuman, Evangeline's body has the natural ability to sustain numerous blows of external assault, though her inner body can take damage if struck hard enough.

## **Weaknesses**

* **Animal Behavior:** Though not proven or shown, it is possible Evangeline has absorbed unwanted animal behavior, such as instinctive rage. The more animals that she comes in contact with, the less human and more animalistic she becomes.
* **Animal Weaknesses:** Evangeline may experience different weaknesses of animals, such as a dog having to constantly hear ultrasound waves or, to a lesser extent, having an urge to play with a ball of yarn like a cat.
