Background and Origin

Born in Hamilton Ontario, Gold Rush dealt with depression since childhood. At the age of 24 he answered an online ad that promised a cure-all medication available for drug trials, which included payment. Hoping to rid himself of his depression once and for all, he foolishly accepted the mysterious ad.

Arriving at the location, he found a lone man in a lab coat holding a golden pill with no other volunteers or doctors. While having second thoughts, he convinced himself to go through with the testing once he saw the envelope full of cash. At first the drug seemed to have no effect, but suddenly his heart began to race until he eventually passed out.

Waking up in the back of an ambulance to a paramedic using defibrillators on him, he felt a surge of energy rush through his entire body before passing out once more. He regained conciousness in the hospital a day later, confused about what had happened. Even after his ordeal, the doctors could find nothing wrong with him and he was discharged.

It was soon after leaving the hospital that Gold Rush realized he had somehow gained superhuman speed and reflexes. Pondering what he should do with his newfound abilities, he came to the conclusion that he should use them to help others for it was the right thing to do. It was then that a new hero was born.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Speed - Gold Rush is capable of running at incredible speeds, far exceeding that of the fastest human sprinter. With maximum effort, he is capable of running at Mach 2 (1534.54 miles per hour) or twice the speed of sound. His tremendous speed allows him to dodge bullets, run on water, and create strong gusts of wind by rotating his arms quickly. Gold Rush has also recently discovered the ability to vibrate his body on a molecular level, thus allowing him to travel through solid matter for a brief period of time. This however causes a great physical strain on his body which normally results in him passing out.

Speedster Physiology - Gold's body is perfectly adapted to running at great speeds. His stamina has been increased to the point where he is able to stay active for almost 24 hours, before needing to rest. He possesses highly durable bones and tendons that act as shock absorbers while he runs, and his leg muscles are strong enough to allow him to leg press approximately 1 ton. His metabolism is roughly 15 times faster than that of a normal human being, which allows him to regenerate quickly. This also means his body requires a higher calorie intake than the average person. Gold Rush's body is also entirely immune to the effects of friction as well as dizziness and vertigo. His brain processes information at a greater than average speed, which enables him to perceive the world around him at a slower pace. His reflexes are therefore much faster than that of a professional athlete.

Amateur Brawler - By using his quick reflexes, Gold Rush has become a capable fighter and is able to hold his own against highly skilled opponents. While by no means an expert, his superior speed and reflexes give him an advantage over most foes by allowing him to react quickly to their attacks. Thanks to his strong leg muscles, he is able to deliver powerful kicks making him even more of an effective combatant.

Weaknesses

Depression - Gold Rush suffers from life long clinical depression which can cause him to question and even outright lose his motivation for doing everything from fighting crime, to just getting out of bed in the morning. While not as severe as it was earlier on in his life, it still prevents him from making decisions as well as causing him to doubt his own abilities.

Human Being - While possessing special abilities, Gold is still a human being that is vulnerable to most of the various methods of injury that typical humans can succumb to.

Hyper-metabolism - Due to his accelerated metabolism, Gold Rush burns calories faster than the average human and periodically requires large quantities of nutrients.

Impulsivity - Gold Rush has demonstrated early on in his career to be impulsive to the point where he will run head first into a situation without a fully formed plan.

Gear and Equipment

Protective Suit - Gold Rush wears a suit that both protects him from physical harm, as well as hides his identity. The material used is highly friction resistant and also durable enough to resist damage from blades, and even bullets. The goggles he wears also provides additional protection to his face from airborne debris, and to an extant physical damage.

Tech Suit - Gold Rush temporarily used an advanced tech suit during the time he lost his powers. The tech suit increased his speed to superhuman levels, and enhanced his strength to the point where he could lift a car. It was also far more durable than his typical suit, as it was made from more advanced materials. The tech suit however has limitations, including the fact that it could not mimic his naturally enhanced stamina or quick mental faculties.

General Perception

Gold Rush tries to stay out of the spotlight, and as a result he is not well known to many people. Having only been operating as a hero since early June 2019, he has yet to truly make a name for himself. Those individuals that know of his exploits seem to think of him as a good person who is honestly trying to help as many as possible.
