Marathon

DESCRIPTION
As Nicole, she's a fairly typical-looking (although quite attractive) young woman, standing about six feet in height and possessed of a slim but athletic build. She's blonde, green-eyed, and fair-skinned, and when not dressed differently for some specific reason, favors t-shirts, hip-hugger jeans, and high-top sneakers. She wears her hair cut in a 'pixie' style, with long bangs that are usually dyed a bright orange-red.

As Marathon, she wears a black bodysuit, a mirror-visored helmet, boots, kneepads, and elbowpads. The suit's form-fitting and has a 'line of flame' sort of design on it, with the flames starting around her right wrist, travelling up her arm, down around her body, and down her left leg. The boots have matching flames painted onto them, as well.

POWERS
Marathon's most prominent power is "Superspeed", although she has some extraordinary athletic abilities and some based on her divine heritage (explained below).

Her Superspeed shows itself in a multitude of related abilities. She has superhuman levels of hand-eye coordination, reaction, recovery, endurance, and perceptiveness, in addition to her abilities to move and act many times faster than is possible for a normal human being. She's able to, for example, move at a rate of 144 kph under combat conditions, and MUCH, MUCH faster if she's just wanting to travel from place to place (a rate of about 36,000 kph). She can accelerate her hands and other limbs at superspeeds, adding great power to her unarmed attacks. Also, while she's not as physically strong as some metahumans, in that she can only lift normal amounts of weight, she can hit as hard as many of the stronger ones thanks to raw speed lending her punches more power, although most of this extra 'oomph' comes only when she's running.

Even before her metahuman powers awakened, she was an athlete far above the abilities of the typical human being, although her raw athletic abilities aren't superhuman, in and of themselves. She also possesses an eidetic memory, which, while rare, is still common enough among normal humans to also not be considered a superhuman ability.

She's never once fallen ill throughout her entire life, not even a common cold, and if she follows the pattern of the typical Greek god, her body will simply stop aging once she reaches a certain level of physical maturity. This point of agelessness is likely very close, as her 'godlike' powers have awakened and begun to grow. Also, she's always had a peculiar acumen for business of all kinds. Even as she was starting high school, she was already helping her parents (Harrold and Erin Grigori) make sound financial investments. She already has her own stock portfolio that earns her about $100,000 per year in dividends... and she hasn't even graduated from high school. It's very likely this has something to do with that her biological father is the Greek god Hermes, and in addition to being "the messenger god", he's also the god of trade.
