Virago II - History, Personality, Powers and Abilities
History
Morgan is the Grand Daughter of two of Vanguard City's most beloved Heroes from World War II: The Guardsman, American's most famous super-soldier; and the original Virago, mystic warrior woman from another world. She and her twin brother Marcus grew up on stories of her grandparent’s exploits during and after WWII told to them by their parents and grandmother. Since her Father, and aunt Susan, didn’t inherit any of their parents’ power it was not generally believed that Morgan or Marcus would either, never the less both children were raise with the values that their grandparents fought valiantly to protect .
Morgan’s early childhood was somewhat bitter-sweet as her brother Marcus was diagnosed with autism around the age of three. Twins are often said to have a quasi-mystical bond, Morgan and Marcus were no exception growing up. Morgan was hardly ever seem without her brother at her side, she ferociously insisted that Marcus was included and excepted by the neighbourhood kids, and if anybody had a problem with that they have to take it up with her. That all changed one day in high school. Marcus was home schooled and Morgan went to a nearby public high school. One day after the final bell had rung, and Morgan was packing to go home, one of her friends came running up to her shouting that some kids had cornered Marcus and were beating him. Morgan dropped everything and ran to her brother’s side faster that she had ever run in her life. She arrived there in time to stop a blow aimed at Marcus’ head by catching the attacker’s wrist in her hand and twisting; there was a crunching pop and a scream before she tossed him away, his accomplices ran for it. Marcus had just walked from home to meet her and was badly beaten for his trouble, his attacker she later found out, got a shattered wrist and a concussion from slamming into the school’s concrete wall head first.
After that incident it became increasingly evident that she was indeed heir to a sort of fusion of her grandparents abilities, and her grandmother Sharon, now long retired as Virago, but still remarkably young and vital for her age, took on the responsibility of teaching Morgan how to cope with and control
her powers. Between her grandmothers training and her Nursing studies Margo some how managed to hold on to some semblance of a normal life while she trained to control and use her abilities in an effective manner.
Virago’s First appearance was during an election rally to get John Tweed elected as Mayor. Morgan was in the crowd as a supporter of Tweed when, thanks to the observational training of her grandmother noticed that several men in the crowd were carrying guns. Quickly changing into her costume, Morgan managed to thwart an attempt to assassinate Tweed, the man who would eventually be elected Mayor Tweed. This began a very positive relationship between Virago and Tweeds administration cementing her role as one of the most visible and respected heroes of the city.
Since then she has been Vanguards City’s primary protector and has worked to support Mayor Tweed’s program to revitalize the city.
Personality
Morgan knows all too well that power comes with a cost, and a responsibility, her brother serves as a constant reminder of that. Morgan secretly believes that her amazing abilities are somehow directly responsible for Marcus’s condition, and that she owes it to him to use them to help out those who are incapable of helping or defending themselves, just like there grand parents did all those years ago.
Powers & Abilities
Virago's power are derived and inherited form her grandparent, from her grandfather the Guardsman she inherited a suite of powers that allow her to sense, manipulate, and channel kinetic energy. With these powers she can fly, project blasts of the kinetic force form her hands, or she can concentrate this energy in to her fists and use this energy to amplify the energy delivered by her punches. Another use of these her powers is to augment her physical strength when lifting and carrying weight by manipulating the objects kinetic energy. Her grandfather also gifted her with the ability to mentally sense process, and interpret the kinetic energy signatures of every objects in her immediate vicinity.
From her grandmother Virgo she inherited a suite of physical enhancements resulting from the genetic enhancements resulting from the process that her grandmother underwent upon joining the elite warrior cadre of the Gaian Theocracy. These include enhanced agility, dexterity, stamina, and physical strength.
Thanks to the training she received under her grandmother the original Virago and her own innate abilities. Morgan has also become a competent hand to hand combatant.
