ARMADA
Vanessa Elizabeth Gibson, 22
Armada is a British expatriate and the granddaughter of Natu Kimballah, aka The Black Cheetah: Africa's first superhero, and original member of The Freedom Warriors - Simon 'Captain Cannon' Church's WW2 era superteam.
Many of Kimballah's descendents inherited the mystically imbued superspeed he weilds, but a couple of them (Armada herself and her aunt, Evelyn Kimball) inherited a slightly different superpower.
Armada does not rely on this, the most active portion of her superpowers, in battle unless she necessarily HAS to.
Armada is an "action junkie" (and, honestly, a bit unhinged) and she prefers to rely on the more passive aspects of her superpowers. The part that affords her enhanced speed and agility, which she uses as a hand-to-hand combatant.
Case in Point: Armada vs. Furball.
