Atomic Roach

**First Appearance** | OSC Facebook, 2022

**Atomic Roach** is an open source character created by Salva GN and originally published on OSC Facebook on June 27, 2022. Undergoing several revisions since her first appearance, the latest incarnation was introduced to the Landmark Universe during The Purge crossover event in 2023.

## Origin

Jennet Vélez was the daughter of a wealthy businessman but never cared about her father's business. She had everything she wanted, she was an Olympic gymnast, with a happy marriage and her future was promising.

But things started to go wrong after her family was the target of a terrorist attack. Her father died, Jennet and her mother survived but her injuries did not allow her to continue her Olympic career. In addition, fearful of possible future attacks, her husband asked for her divorce.

Angry and frustrated, her wish for revenge was granted when she inherited from her father a gold bracelet containing an alien armor. She discovered that her father had been a masked crime fighter named Green Coleoptera who made his fortune by stealing from the mob. Jennet suspects that one of her father's enemies discovered her identity and ordered the attack, but without any proof, they are all suspects. Using the secret identity of Atomic Roach and her new alien powers, now it's time for Jennet to protect the family from her and get answers!

## Powers

The Coleoptera suit allows Jennet to connect to any port, device or socket using numerous internal wires and connectors. She can get information from any human computer she touches.

It also allows her to fly using hidden mechanical wings. Everybody forget that roaches can fly!

The only disadvantage of the suit is that in order to avoid the overheating of its atomic battery, it has to drain water from Jennet's body. Jennet is at risk of dying of dehydration from prolonged use of the suit.
