RUSHBITE
Alter ego: Lupe Fonseca, 22, Mexican-American food-delivery rider from Los Angeles.
“Order up!”
Origin
Lupe was delivering a late-night order when she saw a family locked out in a freezing storm. She shared the hot meal, and kept them warm until help came. The next day, every delivery bag she held stayed perfectly warm, and her scooter could outrun the wind.
Powers
- Rush Hour: super speed while she is carrying something to someone who needs it
- Order Up: perfect memory of every order, name and address
- Hot and Fresh: keeps anything at the perfect temperature, and warms freezing people
Weakness
Junk-food crash: if she eats only fast food she slows down; she needs a balanced meal.
Sidekick
Pickles, a mint-green hamster in a tiny rider helmet.
Villain
Chef Soggo, who makes every meal cold and soggy.
Costume
a ketchup-red and mint fitted hero rider suit with white panels, a red insulated delivery-pack on her back, mint and red flat boots.
