Another member of the team, ostensibly the most powerful and team leader. PINNACLE
Bio: She doesn’t remember anything before waking up in a stasis chamber miles under the earth in a secret genetics facility. They’d implanted a set of basic memories in her brain, something to give the spatial awareness, coordination, language skills of an adult the approximate age of her rapidly grown body, but there were no emotions, no empathy, no sense of identity. Or at least, there wasn’t supposed to be.
Pinnacle was the product of decades of research and testing. During the Cold War, Soviet scientists had grew her from superhuman DNA samples using unearthed Nazi records as a foundation. They wanted her to be their nuclear deterrent, a posthuman weapon of mass destruction. But her senses had evolved past them, she perceives life in a way that we can’t imagine, holds it sacred. They thought she was unaware of her true potential. She was. Before they could put her through the planned mental conditioning, Pinnacle broke out of her bonds and began to destroy the facility, undoing years of research. Her escape triggered the automatic security deep within the facility. The facility locked all exits and unleashed a devastating thermonuclear explosion, killing everyone within… except for her. She barely survived, her abilities being in their nascent stage. After a decade or so of inactivity, recuperating and testing the potential of her abilities, Pinnacle emerged in as a superhero. She used her titanic abilities to preserve life in any way that she could, becoming somewhat of a role model for the emerging posthuman community.
It was after the invasion, when she was forced to kill her nemesis despite her moral objections, that Pinnacle knew she couldn’t do this alone. She sought out other established heroes, and some new faces, hoping to organize a team that could play off of each other’s strengths, balance each other’s weaknesses, and more effectively protect the planet.
Abilities: Pinnacle is the highest caliber posthuman known. Hers is the measure to which all other posthumans are compared. She possesses superhuman strength of limitless potential. At resting it is in the upper range of the 100-ton class, but when she truly exerts herself Pinnacle is a worldbreaker. Her bodily tissues are nearly invincible, superdense and incredibly durable. She can move at incredible speeds upwards, resting at around Mach 10, but can push herself faster with exertions. She has self-sustained flight and enhanced sensory perception, as well as a form of sixth sense that allows her to empathically sense the presence and emotional state of sentient life.
