Apogee

## **History**

### **Alison Henely: 1971 - 1989**

Alison was born in Arizona, to a single mother. She was raised by a circle of women who were her mother’s best friends. Growing up, she had a non traditional upbringing and so never had a problem doing things that weren’t considered ladylike at the time, or saying exactly what she thought.

### **Apogee:1989 - 1994**

Alice eventually pursued an environmental science degree at a university in Los Angeles, where she also began to lead a double life as a super. Her actions caught the attention of the NSA, and once she’d gotten her degree, Alice received an invitation to move to Municiberg and join the cast of supers, which she accepted.

She led a very successful career in Municiberg and quickly made friends, her closest being Dynaguy, Blazestone, The Phylange, and Elastigirl. She and also entertained a brief romance, but Alice got apprehensive about her feelings for , and so backed out before it could progress. In her second year of being a super, Dynaguy invited her to join a team he was forming with Phylange, which she accepted, as she and Dynaguy were very close friends. The three quickly became close friends, and when Dynaguy retired after untimely causing innocent civilians death, it was devastating for Alice. It made it hard for her to accept Everseer taking the mantle as leader, and she reacted by snapping at him and making his transition difficult.

However, they eventually made peace with each other, and Alice developed a sibling-like relationship with Everseer.

### **Alison Henly-Griffin: 1994 - 2014**

However, when the lawsuits started to come, intense pressure was put on their team, such that Alice was honestly relieved when the ban was put into place. She went back to California to pursue environmental protections work. Alice eventually married Gazerbeam and had a son. But then got divorced. She was killed by the Omnidroid on Nomanisan Island.

## **Powers, Abilities, Equipment, and Weaknesses**

### **Powers**

**Superp Physiology**

* **Solar Energy Absorption:** She can absorb solar energy and utilize it for her powers. The cells of a normal human body convert energy from foodstuffs into a form of energy usable by the body. This energy is stored through converting molecules of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in the cells into adenosine triphosphate (ATP); the energy is released when necessary by breaking a chemical bond in the ATP molecules, converting them back to ADP. Apparently Apogee can store solar-derived energy in her cells through the same, or a similar method, and release it when necessary to create anti-gravitons & gravitons.
	+ **Gravity Manipulation:** Apogee possesses the ability to mentally manipulate gravitons (that carry the attractive, (gravitational force between atomic nuclei), enabling her to control gravity. She can surround any object or person including herself with gravitons and anti-gravitons (particles similar to gravitons but with opposite charge and spin), thus increasing or decreasing the Earth's pull of gravity upon it. Apogee can exert her gravitational control over a maximum distance of 2.36 miles from her body. Thus, the maximum volume of matter she could influence at once is 55.0585 cubic miles. She once exercised this control by lifting into the air an inverted conic frustum-shaped land mass whose uppermost area was 4 miles across, and causing it to fly as though it were a dirigible. She can also erect a gravitational force-field of similar proportions. (Apogee can perform as many as four separate tasks simultaneously). (She has not only lifted a 4 mile wide land mass as high as cloud level) but she has also surrounded herself with a force-field, gyrokinetically held most of Beta Force against a slab of rock, and projected force-bolts at Universal Man all at the same time).
		- **Gravitational Downforce:** By increasing the pull of gravity beneath her opponents, she can pin them to the ground, having made them too heavy to move, or cause sufficient gravitational stress to impair the normal functioning of the human cardiovascular system.
		- **Gravity Beam Emission:** By rapidly projecting gravitons in a cohesive beam, she can generate a force blast with a maximum concussive force equivalent to the primary shock wave of an explosion of 20,000 pounds of TNT. If concentrated enough Apogee can exert is power to level a whole city.
		- **Gyrokinetic Flight:** By decreasing the pull of gravity beneath her, she can fly at any speed or height at which she can still breathe. However by using his force field generation she can also breathe in space.
		- **Gyro-Telekinesis:** She can also cause an inanimate object (such as a 1-foot diameter rock) to radiate enough gravitons to give it its own gravitational field, able to attract nearby matter and energy.
		- **Personal Gravity:** She can also create a gravitational force field around her capable of protecting her from any concussive force up to and including a small nuclear weapon.

### **Weaknesses**

**Exhaustion:** Apogee can use her power at maximum capacity for up to eight hours before mental fatigue significantly impairs her performance, and considerably longer (up to eighteen hours) if she conserves her energy during that time.
