Power Testing and Ability Classification

Power Testing and Ability Classification

Subject: Superior (Gregory Lucas Veder)

15 year old Caucasian male. Believed to have gained powers several weeks ago under unknown circumstances. Suspected to be empowered by a Rogue Bio-Tinker know only as "Ev." Not a natural trigger.

Height: 5'10"/177.8 cm

Weight: 190 lbs/81.6 kg

Classification(s): Brute, Mover, Blaster, Striker, Master, Thinker as well as a possible Shaker.

Physical Characteristics

Well-defined musculature on an otherwise skinny frame. Completely hairless, with the only exception being his head. Muscle fibers seem to be extremely dense. Predominantly pink, as opposed to red and white. Bones are much denser than what a normal makeup of calcium-phosphate, collagen and living bone cells should account for. Paradoxically, the bones are much lighter than even normal human bone. Skin was abnormally dense as well. However, skin and blood samples were collected. Teeth seem to be composed like that of a hypercarnivore than a regular carnivores like the average human.

Subject's eyes are rather sensitive to light. Cornea size is proportionate to a cat's; roughly three times the size of a human. Pupils also dilate to a larger extent than that of humans.

Subject's average temperature runs around 5-8 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the average person, strongly implying some resistance to cold temperature. Heart rate rests at around 30 BPM, suggesting highly efficient cardiovascular system. Excessive eating habits suggest a rather fast metabolism.

Facial features are Aryan-Germanic in appearance. Golden blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a narrow nose of moderate length; fairly high cheekbones and rounded facial bone structure, especially in the jaw; a fairly high forehead but not so much as to be dolichocephalic.

Adjusted Ratings

Brute 6-Extremely strong. Direct weight seems to be roughly 6 tons(US). However, has ability to enhance physical capabilities with a golden "aura" to roughly 12 tons(US). Lifting strength seems to be out of proportion with striking strength as the impact machine measured his most powerful hit in the range of megajoules. (Test was not performed with "aura" due to doubts of machine's durability.) Durable to a proportionate degree of his unenhanced strength. Healing factor sealed small cut in seconds. "Aura" can also accelerate healing to borderline regeneration. Capable of significant exertion for long periods of time without detriment. Subject made mention that his strength, durability and speed increase with time and training. However, subject has also confessed that using his "aura" makes him feel rather weak after it has worn off, implying that his "aura" is limited and has a degenerative effect on his stamina.

Mover 5-Speed tops out at roughly 108 mph/173 kph. When enhanced, that doubles to over 215 mph/347 kph, surpassing Velocity by a few digits. Speed combined with strength would give him incredible jumping capability, easily exceeding 100 meters. Increased agility. Enhancing speed wears down stamina, leaving him weak.

Blaster 3-Can launch golden beams, blasts and balls of piercing, explosive and concussive energy, respectively. Beams are extremely fast, seem to be able to pierce up to four inches of steel plate and vary in size. Blasts are capable of burning and rending apart an inch-thick steel plate apart and also vary in size. Balls appear to be the weakest, range in size and are slow enough that a regular human could dodge them. However, they are still very lethal with the ability to crumple half an inch of steel. Subject has confessed that using these abilities are rather draining.

Striker 3-Subject was able to produce six inch long golden blades from his wrists capable of rending through whatever we tested as well as some sort of jagged projection of "aura" around his palm that seemed to struggle to pierce through steel. Referred to "jagged projection" as the "prototype for his blades. Able to enhance a plastic knife to cut deep into a wooden board with no damage to the knife. Mentioned that all of these are tiring as well.

Master 2-Subject possesses the ability to instill fear, apprehension or tension in a certain radius simply by getting angry. Evidence of this ability is shown through eyes turning red.

Thinker 3-Possesses reflexes proportionate to his speed while he is moving. While not using speed, reflexes are powerful, but not to the same extent. Claims that using his energy enhances reflexes and intellect, granting him enhanced analytical abilities. Proven to have enhanced vision, which he described as telescopic, smell and hearing.

Shaker ?-Claims to possess a shield able to withstand blasts from Lung similar to the one that destroyed a large portion of the Docks. However, he was unable to reproduce the ability no matter how hard he tried.

Suspected Weaknesses

Due to enhanced senses, subject is most likely vulnerable to sonic weapons, tear gas, and flashbangs. Make liberal use of these items when engaging him.

Displays an absentmindedness that seems somewhat out of place. Lacks focus and tends to zone out often. Distractions should work rather well on him.

His maximum effective range with his energy attacks seem to be limited to 10 meters at most. Subject expressed surprise at this, claiming that "last week, it was less than half that." Past that, a child could be struck by it without even noticing a thing.

Engaging him with numbers will shock him, at first. However, he should be able to exert himself for hours before even showing exhaustion. Combined with his Thinker abilities, he could lay waste to nearly any team we sent at him. Forcing him to increase his abilities with his energy will render him weak and easily taken out within fifteen minutes to a half hour.

Notes

Mr. Veder has a variety of powerful abilities that, combined, strongly lead me to the belief that he would be even more dangerous to apprehend than Lung. It is highly suspected that his abilities may grow with time. If possible, I would like to test his abilities on a monthly basis, if possible. I suggest that we increase any observation that he is currently placed under. Finding his benefactors are of utmost importance.

Piggot sighed, dropping the report on her desk.

She sat back in her chair, glaring at nothing and no one in her empty office. "God, what I would give for a drink right now," she muttered under her breath, kneading her temples with one hand.

This week was just one mess after another, an avalanche of events that threatened to send her blood pressure through the roof. First, it was the gang war that spilled out onto the streets. Then this Superior brat shows up, nearly kills Lung and in the process, makes her entire organization look incompetent by doing something they had failed to do. To make matters worse, she couldn't even use scare tactics to bring the kid into the Wards because he had been dumb enough to go public on his first night out.

Worst of all, the kid didn't even care that his identity was public knowledge to anyone with an Internet connection. No, just like all those brats downstairs, he thought that just because he was young, he was untouchable. And why shouldn't he think that? Piggot lifted her head to look at the report, her face set in it's usual glare. Considering that he soundly beat Glory Girl and mutilated Lung, he was as close as you could get without being Alexandria herself.

Glancing at her computer, Piggot wondered if she should send another email concerning his updated ratings to the Chief Director. It had been a few days since she had informed Costa-Brown of the young boy who had nearly claimed Lung's life and Panacea's suspicions. Receiving a response less than fifteen minutes later had surprised the portly woman, almost to the same extent that the short response had both irritated and thrilled her.

Do not make any attempts to investigate. The Triumvirate will be informed of the situation immediately. Appropriate action will be taken.

Frankly, Piggot didn't understand what the hell all of that meant. For such a succinct message, it was rather vague in it's delivery. Why was the Chief Director so against her investigating the boy? The Triumvirate will be informed of the situation? Hell, Brown could inform them all she wanted but Piggot would greatly prefer it if the Chief simply had Alexandria fly down here and force the boy to talk. Considering he couldn't fly, what better way of making him talk than an interrogation at 40,000 feet?

Over all, the 'appropriate action' that was mentioned seemed the most unclear bit to Piggot. What was appropriate action in a situation like this?

Turning her chair around, the Director stared out at the city from her top floor window as her mind went over a few facts. Records from Winslow showed that the boy had not missed a single day of school in over two years. Considering that the boy was changed by a Bio-Tinker, the implications were terrifying. Whoever had done this could work quickly enough that turning that boy into what he was now could take less than a weekend, possibly even less if his mother was unaware of the process. In that case, what was stopping this 'Ev' from churning out at least one a day? At that rate, he could overwhelm the city with just five capes on Superior's level. Piggot's grimace only increased at the thought of her city being turned into another Ellisburg on her watch. She weighed the viability of having Legend or Eidolon just carpet bomb the city but quickly dismissed the option as too rash. Still, this was something on the same level of seriousness as Nilbog, an S-Class threat in the making.

She cast a glance at the PRT provided cellphone on her desk and, on a whim, picked it up and dialed a number.

"Thomas, it's Emily."

"..."

"...No, I will not call back later."
