Full Name: Jacques-Mercial Beaubier
Codename: Borealis
Race: Mutant
Earth-616 Counterpart: Aurora
Affiliation: Institute.
Base of Operations: Neo-X
Power(s): Jacques can move and fly at superhuman speed. He can channel a portion of the kinetic energy of the atomic motion in his body's molecules in a single direction, accelerating his body to a velocity in direct proportion to the amount of kinetic energy he has tapped. It is theoretically possible for Jacques to reach 99% of the speed of light (186,272 miles per second in a vacuum), but his inability to breathe at such speeds and the damage his body would suffer from wind and friction prevent him. As a side effect of partially robbing his molecules of their atomic motion, the binding forces within and between the molecules increase which enhances the sheer toughness of Jacque’s entire body. This effect gives his skin enough durability to withstand speeds up to at least Mach 10 without injury. Jacques can also vary the rate of acceleration of his molecules to release a cascade of photons as bright as a lighthouse beacon.

Brief History:

As the youngest son of the Beaubier family, great things are expected of Jacques. Namely, that he’ll one day help with the company business, Beaubier Pharmaceuticals. The Empire’s largest bio-medical firm. After the Empire’s Victory, his family seized the production and research capabilities of pre-existing pharma giants. Consolidating them into a massive bio-medical monopoly that to this day produces 90% of medicines and medical equipment the Empire uses.
