New HS2 Character: Chloe Curie

Chloe's superpower is hyper-immunity. Not quite as impressive as super strength, fire breath, or laser-beam eyes, but it has allowed her to excel in areas that other heroes cannot. With nothing to fear from viruses, diseases, or toxins, she can work with dangerous materials that would kill or incapacitate other heroes. This has allowed her to wield the powerful Aeon Gauntlets, extremely toxic gauntlets that can produce incredibly dangerous substances and even extract fluids from others. These gauntlets are so toxic to the touch that anyone but her would suffer tremendously from even a touch. This makes them equally powerful in melee combat. As she has become accustomed to using them, she has discovered ways to use them to produce substances that heal instead of hurt, and she can use them to help others and even impart a measure of her immunity to others, temporarily. This has made her a valuable asset in hero teams and as adept a healer as she is a fighter, though her lack of superhuman durability means that she still has to be careful in a fight, ideally supported by tougher friends.

Recently, during one of her crime fighting investigations, she traced a series of heists to Heather Wright, the masterful but unlucky street rat behind some recent high profile thefts. Although the thief never stole anything too valuable, thus avoiding drawing attention to herself, she demonstrated incredible skill by infiltrating well guarded facilities. Unfortunately, despite the thief's carefulness, the consequences of her actions set off a series of events which brought the city's most powerful organizations into conflict with each other and the police, spreading chaos and endangering others. Fortunately, Chloe Curie was there to get things back under control, helping the police and putting the criminals behind bars. Once she tracked down the source of it all, she was surprised to find the tiny, inconspicuous thief, a runaway with a tragic story, just trying to survive. Being relatively wealthy, Chloe took her in, on the condition that she returned anything she hadn't already sold and turn over a new leaf. Heather agreed, and provided the name of her former fence, a man who had repeatedly cheated her out of her hard-earned money. With this information, Chloe was able to apprehend one of the most notorious and infamous smugglers in the city. Now she and Heather are working together, despite their differences, to fight crime and bring justice to the city.
