Powers

Elasticity

Rubber Bullette is pretty flexible!

Emily Arden's primary power is the ability to stretch and contort her body in fantastic ways. Her body seems to be entirely normal, with muscle fiber, tendons, skin and bones, but somehow Emily's body carries impossibly elastic properties.

This power comes with a bewildering variety of uses, only limited by Emily's capacity to imagine a use for them; she is able to elongate her limbs to form cords and ropes, flatten and stretch her body to form a wide sheet, or fold and compress herself to be able to squeeze through impossibly tiny spaces. Essentially, there are three main uses of her elasticity, namely stretching, contortion and expansion/compression.

Stretching is fairly self-explanatory; Emily is able to extend every part of her body to incredible lengths. This naturally gives her a massive reach advantage in hand-to-hand fighting, but combat ability is far from the only use for it. The practical limitations of this power are almost entirely up to her own imagination. With the incredible reach she has, she is able to gain huge amounts of leverage, and can spread out weight over larger portions of her body. This allows her to accomplish feats that would require greater strength than she actually possesses. This elasticity also grants Emily incredible resilience against physical trauma, especially blunt force. Punches, kicks, stabbing, gunshots and even some explosions can be absorbed and dissipated by her body by stretching reflexively, allowing her to avoid injury from most kinds of physical attacks.

Despite the versatility of her stretching powers, Emily's body does have limits; Her arms, for example, can at their greatest length extend to nearly 100 feet (30.5 meters), and the rest of her body can stretch proportional to that. Her body retains all the tensile strength of her skeleton, meaning some parts of her body can withstand pulling force of up to 10,000 pounds or roughly 4500 kilograms. She does need to be clever, though, because while the long bones of her body are, like all long bones, quite strong, her joints and tendons are weaker and susceptible to sprains and tears. Overextending herself can and will result in injury.

Contortion is a natural bi-product of her elastic properties. Even though she has the same skeletal structure as any "normal" woman, she is able to bend and twist herself to an extreme degree. Due to the nature of her flexible skeleton and body tissues, Emily is easily able to put professional contortionists to shame.

Expansion and Compression of her body is another use for her elastic powers. By stretching out different parts of herself or even her entire self evenly, Emily can enlarge her limbs if necessary or increase the size of her whole body. The opposite is also true; Emily is able to compress and squeeze her body as if she is made of putty. The obvious applications are that she is able to squeeze into places that a human should not fit. Pipes, vents, gaps under doors and so on are all easily passable to her thanks to this ability.

Any of these powers can be combined in a practically limitless way. Again, the only practical limit to the uses for Emily's stretching powers is her own imagination.

Super Speed

Emily's super speed stems from two innate abilities, one of which is derived from her stretchiness. First is that her elasticity grants her increased lung capacity and greater blood flow throughout her cardiovascular system, providing her the fuel she needs to run at high speeds. Her naturally springy limbs also help her to be able to run at remarkably high speeds for a relatively sustained period of time; she has been clocked at nearly seventy miles per hour running in this way.

In addition to the speed granted by her body's elastic properties, Emily's body can be 'wound up' to increase her speed far more dramatically. Her mind's processes increase, her muscles tense, and in a burst of speed she can reach velocities upwards of the speed of sound. Emily has been capable of catching up with and even passing some pistol bullets through this power. This 'winding up' is effective only for a very short burst of speed, usually no more than ten to twenty seconds at most, although within that time she can cover an incredible amount of ground.

The second form of her speeding power comes with a heavy cost on her, though; the expenditure of so much energy can cause her to be drained physically, and in some instances she has managed truly astonishing speeds only to pass out from the exertion. She must eat a massive quantity of food and rest for a time before she can attempt to move at those speeds again. Depending on the effort she expends, she may be simply winded and worn out, or she may collapse entirely.

In both cases, Emily's speed does not grant her immunity to the forces of inertia and momentum; at higher speeds especially she has to be cognizant of obstacles well ahead of her, as well as her own route planning. Her body weight moving at six hundred miles per hour equates to her needing to take wide turns or stretch herself to be able to swing around corners. Fortunately for her, she is able to absorb impacts that come from her speed quite easily for the most part; she is usually able to withstand running face-first into an unexpected city bus without much trouble.

Hyper Metabolism

Emily's powers come with a somewhat unfortunate side-effect: Her body requires an enormous caloric intake. Thanks to both her elasticity and her incredible speed, Emily's dietary needs start with her needing to take in her body weight in food each day. Greater exertion requires greater amounts of calories, and so in some cases she has cleared out the entire stock of some food cart vendors. Her metabolism is also related to the overall speed that her body runs at, affecting many of her vital processes; her average heartrate is 140 beats per minute at rest, with matching respiration. Her body temperature is also typically at 106 degrees Fahrenheit.

Emily's favorite food is waffles, but she is also quite partial to pizza in its many forms. She dislikes mushrooms.

Exceptional Muscle Control

Thanks to her elasticity, Emily has a remarkable level of musculature control. She is able to very finely and precisely move her limbs and digits, making her very dexterous and agile. This also grants her very good hand-eye coordination; Emily is a piano virtuoso as a result of this.

Near-Perfect Balance

Related to her musculature control is the very minor power of almost perfect balance. Emily is well-coordinated and very balanced, making it difficult to disorient her or even to push her over without excessive force.
