## Origins

Angela Allison was born and raised in Rocket City. An avid reader; she was upset to be diagnosed with dyslexia when she was a teenager. Despite this - Angela was determined to fulfil her dreams of being a writer. She worked hard to earn her place in university and eventually graduate with a degree in creative writing. Although she would spend hours writing and contacting publishers; nobody wanted to read her stories. Struggling to make ends meet - she took a job as an assistant at The Orbit, Rocket City's premier newspaper. Although not her dream job - Angela now had time to work on her own writing in the evening and still being able to pay rent. Her life changed one day when assisting a reporter at the reveal of an experimental technology at a FIT funded lab. It was here she made connection with Otto Peterson (who would eventually become the superhero Obscura). The technology malfunctioned and caused an energy pulse in the building. Although nobody was hurt, the scene was checked over by Spirit - and Otto apologised for the inconvenience. Over the coming weeks, Angela began to discover her new powers; keeping them to herself to avoid any unwanted attention. Over time she would learn to control them - but decided against a life as a superhero to instead focus on her career and the realisation she was pregnant.

## Balancing a Life

Angela kept the secret of her powers to herself for the longest time. Juggling her burgeoning career as a reporter for The Orbit alongside being a single mother was her main focus. Angela rose higher through the ranks of the newspaper; but always seemed to be trailing behind the 'superstar' reporters who got the biggest scoops on the Super Legion and their escapades. Over this time, she also developed a close friendship with Otto Peterson. Angela was unfortunately present at the scene of The Star's death and witnessed first hand the outpouring of grief from the city. She also noticed the shift in perceptions towards the super hero community; but always believed in their good nature. Eventually the disastrous battle between the Super Legion and Orion's comet took place over the city - killing all the members of the team. The Orbit sided with the public perception of the disaster; dubbing the event 'The Fall from Grace' (to Angela's disgust). Over the coming months the mood of the city started to sour - with crime on the increase and a lack of oversight in the city. Angela used her connections to try and track down the missing sidekicks of Mr Midnight; but could never uncover their

secret identities. Seeing that she could no longer hide from her duties - she decided to make a stand herself.

## Formation

Angela took her research into superheroes to the offices of her friend Otto; as a highly motivational public figure and CEO of FIT - she urged him to utilise some of his tech experiments to forge a new team and showcase the good they could do. After he initially refused, Angela outed herself as a superhuman, asking for his support one way or another. The two made a commitment to protect the city and return the sense of heroism they all needed. Super Legion was reformed and taking the code name Hummingbird, Angela led the team from its inception. Throughout this time, Angela continued to balance her journalism career, superhero life and being an amazing mother to her son Aiden. The two had a fantastic bond - with Aiden knowing from a very young age that his mother was a superhero. The Super Legion fought many villains during this time and proceed the city from multiple threats. Hummingbird was a respected leader and became a champion for the people of the city (helped in part to the positive reception the team received from The Orbit). Things started to turn badly for the team when their attention was directed towards Crimelord Deacon; originally a mysterious crime boss that eventually started to grow closer towards super villainy. Angela would also use her career to 'out' some of Deacon's criminal connections in the media - tightening a grip on the already desperate crime lord. Eventually Deacon cracked, launching a devastating attack on the team.

## The End

Crimelord Deacon unleashed his attack not only on the city itself, but across the super-powered community at large. The city & the Super Legion were thrown into chaos, with the invading force tracking down and killing anybody with super-human lineage. Upon realising the risk her son was under, Hummingbird quickly tracked down her son at their apartment block downtown. The Netherworlders had already killed multiple people in the building trying to protect Aiden, so Hummingbird followed directions from Obscura and Zero to evacuate him into Legion Park for safety. The carnage escalated even further as the superheroes took a final stand inside the park. Under the stress of the situation, Aiden unleashed powers just like his mothers - destroying a small woodland in the process. In a final act of bravery, Hummingbird jumped in front of a Netherworlder blade to protect her son, killing her almost instantly. The destructive scream let out by Aiden wiped out another swathe of attackers; and eventually the attack was stopped by the sacrifices of the Super Legion.

## Legacy

Angela was buried in a cemetery downtown - with nobody knowing her true identity as a superhero to protect Aiden's identity. To most people she died in the line of duty as a reporter on the ground during the event The Orbit dubbed 'Night of the Netherworlders'. Aiden would move to the suburbs to live with his biological father; somebody he had no real connection to. However he would take up the legacy of his mother by becoming a superhero himself - Whisper and joining the Externals. Aiden was incredibly proud of his mother's work both as a super hero and a writer; working hard to get her work published posthumously.
