Full Name: No one knows. Hybrid suspects she doesn't even remember what it is. Or else it's just as bad as his.
Hero Name/Nickname: Mercury. The element Mercury's nickname is Quicksilver. She controls metal. Get it? Heh.
Age: Fourteen, three months younger then Hybrid but much more...mature.
Physical Description: Stands about five foot two and wears a simple black jumpsuit. She has a utility belt filled with everything from metal for her metal-bending to a mecial kit. Her right arm is made of metal and the source of her powers. She has dark skin and hair pulled back in dreadlocks and one eye is a pale green. The other is glass but can see through solid objects and invisible people. Hybrid has this weird theory that it can see through people, into their emotions. This hasn't been proved. She wears steel-toed boots and braces and is almost always seen with a toothpick, metal or otherwise, in her mouth.
Origin: Here's how Mercury put it.
"A couple years back, when I was eleven, I had a normal life. Mom, dad, a dog. It was pretty cool. Boring, even. One Sunday we went on a drive like we always do. We ended up almost near the state line by dark. We headed back. It was late. It was dark. None of us were wearing seat belts. We were hit by drunk driver. He lived. My parents died. I lost an arm. But I was okay. the doctor I ended up was actually with the government. They fitted me with a nice metal arm and this glass eye. I was supposed to be the perfect soldier. Unfortunately I didn't want to stay cooped up in a lab all day getting tests run on me. So I escaped. Been living on the streets ever since."
Cyborg caught her stealing off of ever vendor in Jump City. Instead of community service she's living in the Jump City Tower, building things for Cyborg. Mercury's got a knack for technical stuff. In her most recent adventure she and Hybrid ended up in a virtual world, fought robots, robot animals, got kidnapped, and met up with Hybrid's parents. Fairly normal, really.
Powers: Mercury's main ability is what she calls 'metal-bending' or the ability to mold metal into any shape she desires. It's why she carries a large supply of it in her utility belt. She can also summon metal to her with her 'magnetic thing' as she calls it. Mercury can rust other metal items if touching them but her arm will begin to rust as well. Her arm and hand has nerves in it so yes, it is quite painful.
Other: Mercury's kind of...what's the word? Perhaps sarcastic at times. No, not really. Easily annoyed is more like it. She has this weird habit of sleeping with her glass eye open so she can see what's coming. Actually she rarely ever closes that eye. Oh, she has a passion for lollipops and has a stash of them in her utility belt. Mercury likes her alone time. When you mess up her alone time she gets very angry. Just ask Hybrid.
