Lightningfast
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
The Accident: The accident that caused him to get his powers was a fluke by all counts. Michael Drake had been working in a Crey research lab as a research assistant. He was working late one night on a molecular destabilizer and he crossed two wires incorrectly and accidentally activated the machine. Instead of the hypothesized outcome....which was instant death.....after the machine stopped functioning for good Michael found he could move at the speed of light, and do anything he wanted at an abnormally quickened pace. After the accident he moved to New York City and instead of living a life of peace....wound up becoming a crime fighter. After a few years of being away from his family he moved back to paragon city and wound up bringing some villains back with him....well.....not intentionally.
Personality: Michael is...well...how else do you say he tries to be a ladies man. He truly is a smooth talker with the ladies but when it comes to keeping his eyes on one woman at a time he has...well...difficulties. He also doesn't seem to be the brightest apple in the bunch. He is also very witty, lots of one liners and has quite the sense of humor. Nobody really knows what he's like in social situations because...he's really always moving around to fast for people to get a chance to have a moment to speak with him.
Known Villains:
Spiegel: A German Super Soldier that seems like he's straight out of the Nazi days of World War II. Don't let his well thought out schemes fool you....he's actually quite the idiot, should one of his plans work it really is a fluke.
Crimson Cold: The first villain Lightningfast ever faced. His gloves contain ice guns to freeze his foes in there place.....though he really never found a way to make them work on our hero.
General Draconis: A general from a dimension ruled completely by Dragonborn. He is by far Lightnings most ruthless villain to date and the only one to bring him near death. He is a class S criminal in Paragon City.
Other Powers: Other than the superspeed, Lightningfast took martial arts classes and is a tenth degree black belt in all forms of martial arts. Upon acheiving these ranks he discovered the intense training gave him a heightened pain tolerance which lets him hold out longer during a battle.
Known Allies: K.C. Krystal, Thimble, Sayge Stardust, Shadowgauntlet, Kinata, Owl-Fi
Supergroup: Wireman Agent of The Jadewire
