Mastermind Monday - Haste

I love the Flash, especially Wally West. I've been a Titans fan since I was a kid and Michael Rosenbaum's Wally from Justice League and Justice League Unlimited was amazing. I like how speedsters work in DC and their tie to the Speed Force. Sadly my favorite supers gaming setting, Freedom City has no version of the Speed Force. Well that is until I created the Momentum Veil. Like the Speed Force, the Momentum Veil is  both an energy source and plane of existence. It is a sort of speedster afterlife. It powers all speedsters, though not everyone with super speed is tied to it. From the moment it came into existence it touched speedsters of the past and present. For the purpose of the game it is a complication and a reason to explain dynamic uses of a speedsters powers. 

For my version of the Freedomverse, the Momentum Veil was created by the birth of my new character, Haste (who is a tribute to my second favorite speedster, Bart Allen aka Impulse/Kid Flash II).

Background

Jonas Rocket was born in the Spring of 1948. However upon his birth he seemed to fade from existence. His father, the original Johnny Rocket and his young wife kept the incident quiet and as far as the world was concerned the young Rocket died of birth complications.

However, Jonas didn't die. His birth signaled the creation of the Momentum Veil, the otherworldly plane and source of speed powers. Jonas was raised by the communal spirits of fallen speedsters of the past, present, and future. Existing outside of time, he was exposed to technology of all eras and fiddling with technology became his hobby. 

On his eighteenth birthday Jonas was drawn into the year 2012. He found himself in Emerald City. Jonas has decided to keep his identity secret from the heroes of the day, though his heroic nature couldn't be denied. He has dubbed himself Haste and has taken particular pains to stay far from his family in Freedom City.

Unknown to even himself, Haste is the herald of the Momentum Veil. Speedsters near him find their powers altered as their ties to the Veil emerge. Of course this will lead to an eventual confrontation with his nephew Johnny.
