FULL NAME: Dr. TERESA KINKAID
AGE: 34
ALIASES: Special K, Princess Premenstrual, TKO, etc.
AFFILIATIONS: Former representative for Kelloggs
BACKGROUND: I'm a genius.  No, really, I am!  I graduated from Harvard with my first degree at age twelve.  I am a an expert at Chess, President of the Michigan chapter of MENSA, etc.  Things were looking up, until I was diagnosed with NS.
    Nevison's Syndrome is a debilitating nerve disorder that gets progressively worse the older you get.  First your motor functions go, then you become a paraplegic, then your autonomic system shuts down and you suffocate.  Once you are diagnosed you are lucky if you live ten years.  I was diagnosed when I was ten, so you could see why I was in such a rush to get my degree.  I was going to beat the disease, find a cure.  Even if it killed me.
    By the time I was fifteen I thought I had found a cure, a drug treatment program using some stuff I had whipped up.  The problem was it would take the FDA four years to approve it.  By then the disease would have been too far gone.  And I'll admit it, by the time I whipped up this concoction I had to use a walker to get around.  I started taking the drugs secretly, and I saw almost instant results.  In a month's time I seemed fully cured.
    But I wasn't.
    My strength, stamina, speed, and reflexes were all increasing beyond normal levels.  I was also getting tougher and my eyesight had improved.  I had to confide in a specialist, she told me that my latent gene had somehow activated.  I had not found a cure, I had simply made myself a paranormal.  Then I discovered my NS was still there, only it was held in check by my new power's healing factor.  Then came the final kicker; I wasn't getting any older.  I was stuck at age fifteen, a perpetual teenager.
    I've had seventeen years to cope.  During that time I've starred in an all girl band (Broad Minded, we had a sort've alternative retro fuzion type sound.  I played rhythm guitar and backing vocals), did the chess circuit, got the Kelloggs endorsement, lost the Kelloggs endorsement.
    Then I joined Maximum Justice.
    Then they died.
    At least, that is how I remember it.  You see, I am a clone whose purpose was to infiltrate the next team that would take Maximum Justice's place if they were formed.  I did not know my intended purpose because I have the original's memories.  I thought I was the original until she returned.  To my surprise we've gotten along pretty well, which is more than I could have ever hoped for.  It's like having a twin sister all at once.  And everything's cool, at least as long as she stays away from my man. :)
PERSONALITY: For all her hardships, Teresa Kinkaid is a happy, well-balanced individual who takes life as it comes.  Even though she looks like a teenager she is very much an adult when it comes to responsibility; she is still a doctor, and now she has become a hero.
    Teresa is highly annoyed with her condition, how it makes it hard to interact with people her own age.  As a result she sometimes hides her feelings behind a mask of arrogance. One problem she is having is on a romantic/sexual level.  She cannot date fifteen year old boys without being charged with statutory rape (and losing her medical license in the process), and the only adult men she seems to attract are perverts.
    Teresa's surviving the Maximum Justice slaughter had made her more withdrawn, but she has come to accept that there was nothing she could have done to prevent the deaths of her friends.  Now she is eagerly looking for new adventures that she may both partake on her own and share with her kick-ass clone!
POWERS/SKILLS: Teresa has the ability to quickly heal from any injury save one that would kill her outright.  She has regenerated fingers, fully recovered from concussions and even survived exposure to a class IV virus.  This power is what holds her Nevison's Syndrome in check; it still sits in her cells, waiting for release.  During those rare times when she has suffered broken bones her body quickly resets them, no matter how much it hurts.
    Teresa is very strong and has been classified a "brick" by Pure Power Plant scale (albeit at the lower end of that scale), and she is resistant to damage; she is able to withstand small arms fire without serious injury and can handle temperature extremes from the artic to Death Valley.  This gives her a higher immunity to heat and cold attacks, but not much.  Her reflexes and agility both are abnormally high and she has been able to incorporate her advantages into an eclectic and very effective fighting style that makes the most of her speed and small size.  She is able to leap great heights and distances, over a hundred yards straight up and up to a half a mile in distance.  She is able to run up to thirty miles per hour and swim at almost ten knots.  Teresa still needs to breath, but is able to hold her breath for up to ten minutes provided she does not have exert herself.
    Teresa has excellent motor control and is able to use her strength to create hand holds in most conventional building materials.  This is not something she can use in combat, however.
    Teresa is highly intelligent and has a Doctorate in Genetics.  She is also a talented chess player, a decent singer and can play a mean axe.  She is also a pretty good dancer and loves to go to teen clubs to let loose.
EQUIPMENT: Teresa was able to keep the rapid-deploy glider wings from her costume, they are basically a cool looking emergency parachute.  She carries an equipment belt complete with a compact first aid kit with a portable medical scanner, a tool knife, mini-binoculars, a gas mask and a small flashlight.  She also uses other equipment when necessary. Most of this equipment is commonly available.
APPEARANCE: Teresa appears to be an attractive fifteen-year old girl with a wiry build and stringy black hair with large black eyes.  She stands five foot one inches tall and is sensitive about her height.  Her costume consists of heavy black leather boots, a gray shirt, black leather pants that have the name 'Kinkaid' emblazoned along the legs, leather gloves and a leather jacket.  When in civilian clothes she tries to dress like an adult, but often comes off looking even more cute for her troubles.  She does not need glasses (her vision is now 20/10) but she wears them in a vain attempt to look more dignified.
