Mach V
Freelance Fashion/Costume Designer
Colton Carson was your average high school graduate with middling grades, overbearing parents and no sense of direction in life when he was caught in a freak car accident that changed his life. During an heated argument with his father, Colt collided his car with a truck carrying a tank of a volatile and untested new fuel source and was subsequently doused in the hazardous material, which seeped into his open wounds and 'turbocharged' his physiology. After spending a month in a coma, Colt awakened to find that he could move and react at incredible speeds, vibrate himself on a molecular level, heal faster than he ever considered possible and much, much more. Wracked with guilt over his father's paraplegia, which was also a result of the accident, Colt abandoned his secret dreams of becoming a fashion and costume designer and began working as a mechanic at his father's auto repair. What his family doesn't know is that he also leads a double life, speeding to Vellore City's rescue in pursuit of redemption and purpose as Mach V -- the unstoppable Hypersonic Man!
With a history running away from his problems, a somewhat caustic personality and a cynical outlook on life, Mach V is unused to risking his own hide for the sake of others or coping with the burden of guilt placed upon him. Though he would like nothing more than to use his powers for instant gratification and self-indulgence, he is motivated by his unwavering resolve to make up for what he did to his father and to become a better, more selfless person. While he may not always show it through his hotheadedness, sarcasm and showboating, each step Mach V takes brings him closer to realising his full potential as a hero and a human being.
