Personality:
Extremely curious and childlike, Ava is a rather fast learner given her abnormal biology and being kept in stasis and on life support for a good 10 years. She retains a terrible temper however, only kept in check by a sense of reason that, once again, one might see belonging to a child. She is extremely keen on making friends. The animalistic portions of her biology meaning that she often prefers physical contact with those she enjoys being around, often becoming extremely territorial and protective of those she deems to be a part of her 'family'. Despite much of this pointing towards her being an abnormally intelligent monster, she despises causing lasting harm, and even goes as far as to feed only on meats that she does not know the source of. Her primary food source being meats means that until she can get over this fear of hers she is not to be notified of what animals that many meat based foods come from.
Backstory:
A genetic abomination born in a lab, Ava was first known as SG3U199, Subject Group 3 - Unit #199. Very little is known of Ava's life outside of what was found on the experimentation logs left by the late Doctor Shelly, the woman responsible for the only known Human/Leftover experimentation. The Doctor in question having taken her own life soon after recognizing the inevitability that the organization H.E.R.O would apprehend her.
The vast majority of her early life was spent on life support, first through her mother who used her powers to take upon herself the more dangerous side effects brought onto her child from being spliced together with a modified strain of Leftover DNA. After her Mother's passing and 5 more years of life support until she was able to survive the early sicknesses and side effects, Ava's life was experiments and medical and psychological research. What kept her alive? What did she eat? What was her biology like? The question seemed to be, just how 'human' was she? And could she be influenced?
Following the raid of Doctor Shelly's lab and the subsequent extermination of the vast majority of her failed experiments, the Heroes who had been tasked with the mission brought back Ava if only due to her surprising lack of hostility towards them, and later on the discovery of her experimentation logs. During her year of initial containment, non-invasive study and education, it was decided both through her own wants and the acceptance of the H.E.R.O organization that she would become a hero.
In the short amount of time she has spent among the Heroes she has done surprisingly well, like an eager teenager's first day of High School, she may be overly enthusiastic and literal about her newfound job, but with a little bit of teaching the girl may be worth something yet.
Power:
Mutations
Jaw Strength - Incredible jaw strength coupled with a surprisingly durable skeleton means that when measured, her bite is easily capable of putting out nearly 3,000 PSI, several times more than powerful enough to crush bones, or a skull for example.
Prehensile Tail and Leg Muscles - Extremely powerful leg muscles allow her to jump a height of nearly six feet without the aid of her tail, giving her a vast amount of vertical mobility as well as horizontal mobility, as her body seems to be made for running and climbing. Her recorded top speed is roughly 50 MPH, number not to be scoffed at seeing as the fastest recorded land animal is not that much farther ahead.
Static - Constantly generating static electricity, Ava is able to subconsciously gather this energy in her fingertips and toes to allow her to climb sheer surfaces for short amounts of time. If allowed to gather energy for a while however, this can often result in an accidental shock comparable in strength to a weak civilian grade taser.

As a joke somebody commissioned an engineer online for a phone charger that would function when applied to Ava..... It worked. Said harness was given as a joke gift.

Personality
Extremely friendly and outwardly kind, Marcus is a very petty and sarcastic man. Always wanting to help but very attentive to his appearance. He takes any word against himself, be it of his career, abilities or appearance, as serious a death threat. As said before, extremely proud and often vain, he is nonetheless a selfless hero and has placed himself in life threatening situations to save civilians on many occasions. In his own words, "What good is it being as handsome and simply outstanding as I am if one has no fans to talk about you?"
Backstory
Father put in jail for possessing very specific illegal images as well as dealing drugs, and mother dying of a drug overdose, Marcus has always been very meticulous about his appearance, as if he were trying to crawl his way out of his family name through appearance alone. After a brief stint in an orphanage where he spent most of his life honing his powers to hide them, he was eventually 18 when he finally left behind the kindly old folks who took him in and joined the H.E.R.O organization.
He was a fast fit for the job, his eagerness to make his own name for himself coupled with the natural fame that came with it easily helped the previously shy and overly emotional young man develop not only a sense of self-esteem, but quickly develop into a man with a strong sense of right and wrong, even if he is quite vain about most everything he does.
The discovery Doctor Shelly's lab and the subsequent solo destruction of everything inside quickly lead to the discovery of SG3U199. SG3U199 was nothing like many of the half cooked abominations in the Doctor's Lab. She was lucid, curious, wasn't violent, but most of all was terrified and confused. Marcus brought the thing... No the girl, back with him after retrieving as much data about the experiment as he could, and topping the whole experience off by tearing the godforsaken building apart beam by beam.
He named the girl Avangaline, but her inability to initially pronounce that lead to her being called Ava. Marcus now acts as a sort of adoptive father for the genetic mutation, and will take any word against her as seriously as he would a word against himself.
Power
Blacksmith's Dream
Marcus, in short, is able to manipulate metal. For a longer explanation? Marcus is able to control metal at a near molecular level. Technically metal of any amount small or large is not out of reach for him, but he has a defined limit before things start going wrong.
Able to safely control 10 tons of metal and up to 15 tons with effort, Marcus can move and manipulate metal in much the same way one uses telekinesis. Propelling it through the air, ripping it out of buildings, bending it or ripping it asunder.
Marcus is also able to sense metal in a roughly 30 foot radius around him. However as said before Marcus has his limits. Trying to control more than his limit allows for results in the excess weight manifesting on his body. He has a slight control over where the weight is placed but if things were to get out of hand he could easily crush himself instantly without touching anything.
OTHER -
Secretly a Starbright Fan. He owns all the music.
Walks with a limp and a cane since roughly a month ago following an encounter with an explosives based villain at a bank who had taken several hostages. Manipulating enough metal to keep the building from crushing them long enough to hide in the bank vault turned the bones of his lower right leg into dust. It has since been replaced with a simple synthetic metal limb.
He has taught Ava a few threats that seem a bit more effective and or unsettling in her hands, such as...
I will invert your ribcage.
And
Your teeth will be mine.
...
Mostly cause he thought it was funny.
