[edit] Character biography

Ballistic is the sister of Velocity; they were raised by their mother and abusive stepfather, until finally Cassandra killed him.

She was the star pitcher of her high school baseball team, until Tony (her ex-boyfriend) and his gang seriously injuried it. Later, she was approached by the Cyberdata company, who replaced her arm with a cybernetic one, but brainwashed her into becoming a SHOC (Special Hazardous Operations Cyborg) for the company. She was assigned to retrieve her sister Velocity who had defected to Cyberforce, but wound up having her own memories restored and became their ally instead.

[edit] Powers and abilities

Ballistic has superhuman athletic abilities, particularly her aim with any thrown object or projectile weapon. Her mechanical arm is superhumanly strong and durable.
