Elise Lightning




Elise Lightning was born with the gift of super speed, but she didn't understand what it was until she was in her early teens. Growing up, she was always faster than her peers and was often teased for it. But when she discovered she could run faster than the speed of sound, everything changed. She spent countless hours practicing and honing her abilities until she could control them with precision.

However, her powers have also brought challenges into her life. She struggles to balance her secret identity as a speedster with her personal life and schoolwork. It's hard for her to slow down and take things at a normal pace, and she often feels restless and impatient when things don't happen as quickly as she wants them to.

Elise's parents are supportive of her abilities, but they worry about her safety and the dangers that come with being a superhero. They've urged her to be careful and to keep her powers a secret, but Elise knows that she has a responsibility to use her abilities to help others.


Elise's body armour and speedster tech were developed by her mother, a former scientist for the evil organization known as H.I.V.E. (Hierarchy of International Vengeance and Extermination). After her mother's defection from H.I.V.E., she used her knowledge and resources to create the armour and tech for Elise, in order to help her daughter control and manage her powers.


The armour and tech are designed to enhance Elise's speed and agility, as well as to provide protection from the physical strain that comes with moving at superhuman speeds. The suit is also equipped with various gadgets and devices, such as energy shields and EMP generators, which Elise can use in combat.


While the suit is a valuable tool for Elise, it also creates complications in her life. She must keep her identity a secret and avoid being tracked by H.I.V.E., who may see her as a valuable asset to reclaim. Additionally, the constant use of the suit puts a strain on her relationship with her mother, who worries about the potential risks and dangers of using such advanced technology.

Elise is familiar with the other heroes in Nova City, having worked with some of them on various missions. She has a friendly rivalry with Scott Zero, as they both possess unique energy-based powers. She's also had a few run-ins with Dark Hood, but they've never worked together. As Elise continues to navigate the challenges of being a teenage superhero, she's determined to use her powers for good and make a difference in the world.
