Mutation
Powers:

Kevin is a mutant with the ability to shift his position in space by altering the quantum probabilities that dictate the position of the atoms that comprise his body. By making a series of infinitesimally small concerted changes, he can thus move his body through space in any direction. By holding the position of his atoms constant he can hover in place. Kevin can use this ability to reach speeds far exceeding the speed of sound. When traveling at high speeds, he is able to instinctually avoid colliding with other objects, but he is limited by the fact that he cannot think as fast as he can move. Thus when needing to accelerate to top speed, he must commit to a pre-planned trajectory. Kevin is able to carry 1-2 people or up to about 300lbs with him while traveling in this manner. As the mass of his cargo increases, his maximum attainable speed decreases significantly. Kevin could theoretically use his power in a standard flying position but he finds it more stable to use in an upright position, as if surfing on quantum probability waves, giving rise to his codename, Waverider.

Shauna grew up as a normal Canadian child of Chinese-Portuguese-Belgian descent until at the age of 11 when she developed a severe viral infection that resulted in total paralysis of her vocal chords and the inability to speak. Shauna’s father a world-famous geneticist and bio-engineer dedicated his life to finding a cure that would bring back his daughter’s voice. After more than 10 years of experimentation, Dr. Cruz finally stumbled on a form of gene therapy that would profoundly change the course of Shauna’s life. The experimental therapy gave her the ability to speak and sing again but it also did much more. Shauna developed the ability to use her vocal chords to produce powerful sonic screams with enough concussive force to smash down walls or enough hypersonic energy to liquefy concrete or metal. Song can also use her vocal powers to create a sonic deflection shield around herself and soothing harmonic sound waves that can have a calming effect on people and can even put them to sleep. Song must guard against overusing her powers however because she has discovered over-use can make her hoarse and unable to produce sonic screams or even speak for some time.
