Rush

Andrew Schultz, also known as "Rush" is the demigod son of Zeus, as well as a founding member of the Disciples.

#### Origin

After the Olympian God, Zeus had fallen in love with a mortal woman in the realm of Olympus, she eventually became pregnant and gave birth to his son, who was born on Olympus during the war between Zeus and Ares, who was attempting to gain control over the throne. He had partnered with Hades, amongst other gods, which he promised power after they had dethroned Zeus. Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, and other allies battled to protect Olympus, but Ares' army was too powerful. In the climax of battle, Zeus ordered Hermes to take his infant son to a safe destination in the multiverse. Hermes rushed to grab the child and ran throughout time and space, searching for somewhere that would be safe from Ares. He eventually landed on Earth, where he left the child with a couple that was unable to conceive children. They would take in the child as their own, naming him Andrew.

Andrew would go on to discover his true heritage as he grew older and his powers began to manifest. Under the mentorship of Hermes, Andrew would learn to master his newfound abilities and use them to protect his city. However, Hermes' true purpose for training Andrew was so he could protect himself if Ares ever found him.

Andrew would later become recruited by William Brook as a member of the Disciples, taking on the codename "Rush".

## Powers & Abilities

#### Powers

* **Demigod Physiology**: As the son of a god and a human, Rush is classified as a demigod. He was born with powers that layed dormant until his teenage years, when they manifested. Rush's physiology grants him physical capabilities greater than any human, and the power to manipulate celestial lightning, like his father, Zeus.
	+ **Electrokinesis**: Rush is able to generate and manipulate electrical energy that is mystical in nature. He is able to project powerful bolts and arcs of lightning, as well as electrocute people on contact. He can even control the intensity and voltage of his electricity. The lightning that Rush generates, augments his already heightened speed, reflexes, and healing.
		- **Electromagnetism**: Rush is capable of using his lightning to create electromagnetic fields that allow him to magnetize and conduct metal objects with the electricity he generates.
		- **Electrical Absorption**: Rush can absorb and drain electricity from anything run on it, such as electronic devices.
	+ **Superhuman Speed**: Rush is capable of moving at vast supersonic speeds. The intensity of his speed allows him to easily run vertically across structures and over large masses of water. While moving, Rush can only be perceived as a blur to the naked eye. Rush can generate great amounts of physical force through the extreme momentum he creates by moving at super-speed, allowing him to greatly increase the force behind his blows. The more he accelerates his movement, the more force he generates. By building up enough speed, Rush is able to create supersonic punches that deal great damage.
		- **Phasing**: By vibrating his body at the right frequency, Rush can vibrate his body to intangibility and momentarily become pure energy, to phase through solid objects. This takes immense practice and concentration. He has not mastered this ability.
		- **Aerokinesis**: Rush can generate vacuums of airflow on various levels. By rotating his arms at super-speed or running in circles, he can create strong, electrically charged, vortexes of wind.
	+ **Superhuman Reflexes**: As a demigod, Rush's reflexes are naturally enhanced, however, due to the increased bio-electric flow in his body, his nerves and brain waves are constantly being stimulated, increasing his reaction time even further, allowing him to react to danger and events much faster than a normal human. Rush's superhuman reflexes allow him to perceive time at a much slower rate than normal humans. Rush's hyperactive brain waves also extend his mental capacities, allowing him to take in information and process it at much faster rates than a normal human.
	+ **Superhuman Agility**: Rush's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. This allows him to change direction immediately, make sharp turns without sliding or losing his balance, and jump great distances while moving at super speed.
	+ **Superhuman Stamina**: Rush's body can handle the stresses of superhuman racing without noticeable distress. He is able to function much longer than a normal human without getting tired or weak.
	+ **Superhuman Durability**: Rush's body is capable of resisting tremendous impact forces that could easily crush or kill a normal human, without suffering any serious external or internal injuries.
	+ **Superhuman Strength**: Due to his enhanced physiology, Rush possesses strength superior to normal humans. This allows him to easily carry multiple people at once while speeding away, and overpower normal humans.
	+ **Accelerated Healing**: Due to the constant flow of electricity in his body, Rush's cells are constantly being stimulated, causing damaged tissue to rapidly regenerate.
	+ **Enhanced Senses**: Rush's senses are able process information at an accelerated rate, allowing him to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly. His enhanced senses allow him to see and hear perfectly normal when moving at superhuman speeds, where this would normally be impossible.
