Momentum
Hero Name: Momentum
Secret Identity: Uriah Hawkins
Place of Origin: Arkham, Mass
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Occupation: Doctor
Height: 6’2”
Weight: 220 pounds
Eye and Hair Colour: Brown Hair, Green Eyes
Physical Description: Tall and lean, Uriah keeps himself in good
shape both by using his abilities, and by working hard to *NOT* use
his abilities while taking physical action. He has a very lean but
well defined physique. His hair is worn slightly long, hanging just
above his eyes and down to his neck. Normally, Uriah wears jeans and
a short-sleeve t-shirt with Tennis shoes.
Costumed Appearance: Momentum is dressed simply in a full, gray
jumpsuit that has matching gloves, boots and mask. There is a black
cable looped around his waist in black. Each leg of the jumpsuit
has a pair of cargo pockets on it (one on the outside thigh, the
other on the outside calf) that Uriah usually has crammed with first-
aid supplies.
Psychological Profile: Uriah is best described as a Boy Scout. He
will stop to help old ladies across the street and run people down
who dropped something, so he can return it. His Nice Guy attitude is
also coupled with a strong will, honed from the training to become a
doctor and to master his abilities that could flare out of control
if he isn’t capable. This is both a strength and a weakness for him,
as he will not quit when he has set a goal in mind. Uriah is also
something of a daredevil. His abilities allow him to throw himself
around as hard and as fast as he wants, and he plays this to the
hilt.
Strength Level: Normally, above average from regular workouts.
Notable Skills: Doctor, specializing in emergency room conditions
and sports medicine. Ex-Wrestler, specializing in a more acrobatic
display. Some fighting knowledge, though not an expert by any means.
Knowledge of running a medical facility, including staffing and
supplies ordering(minor business knowledge).
Superhuman Abilities:
1. Kinetic Control: This is actually a number of abilities grouped
together, to be detailed individually, but are from the same source.
A. Enhanced Speed: Momentum can alter his speed, allowing
him to run at speeds capable of breaking the sound barrier. He must
be moving to use this ability, and he can control how fast he moves,
though as he gets distracted, his control slips, accelerating him
even further. Lack of a safe place to practice has stopped him from
finding an upper limit he can increase his speed to, although there
have been a few accidents with him slipping past the sound barrier
in enclosed spaces
B. Enhanced Action: Momentum can also speed up his ability
to do physical tasks. Much like his running, he has to already be in
motion to do it, and he has a tendency to lose concentration and
start to speed up on his own. He is limited to how fast objects he
is using can be manipulated (for instance, a trigger can only be
pulled so many times in a second, etc).
C. Kinetic Absorption: Really two powers. The first is the
ability to absorb any kinetic energy that he comes into contact with
over normal force(His own walking doesn’t count, for instance). He
takes no damage from the impact, and takes in the energy, allowing
him to reuse it as physical strength. The charge time is limited,
and the amount of strength is equal to the amount of force soaked
in. Once used, it is gone(one punch, using full force, would leave
him with a normal strength level again. He can lift heavy objects,
but could not hold them long, or carry them any real distance,
unless he had more energy to burn through). This ability works on
physical attacks and similar situations, but has no use against
fire, lasers, etc.
2. Enhanced Perception: When moving, or acting at higher than normal
speeds, momentum is able to use his senses unimpeded. This does not
give him any advantages to his senses, merely allows him to use them
as if he were standing still, or moving normally.
3. Sticky: While moving, Momentum is able to use any surface that
will hold his weight, as the floor. As soon as he stops moving, the
effect is negated, forcing gravity to take over again. Momentum has
learned to use this ability to best effect in combat.
Items Carried:
First aid kit(Bandages, antiseptic spray, patches, scissors, etc)
