Velocity (character)

Velocity (real name Carin Taylor) is an Image Comics/Top Cow Productions character from the comic series Cyberforce, created by Marc Silvestri in 1992.

Most of the early story arcs focused on her burgeoning friendship with the members of the Cyberforce team, and her struggle through teenage development.

After Cyberforce, Velocity was one of two winning one-shots in the first year of the Top Cow Pilot Season (2007), in a story[1] written by Joe Casey[2] with art by Kevin Maguire.

Velocity's induction into the SHOCs program endowed her with supersonic speed and movement, much like DC Comics character the Flash.

Both sisters wound up in an orphanage run by Mother May I, a mysterious Cyberdata operative with a red third eye in the middle of her forehead.

The second volume closed with Ripclaw and Velocity heading towards Antarctica in search of the alien technology usurped by Cyberdata which eventually led to the development of Cyberforce and the other SHOCs.

In this Marc Silvestri re-introduction of Cyberforce, Ripclaw and Velocity are betrayed by the captain of the vessel that helped them reach Antarctica, and flee to the ruins.

Carin then undergoes a transformation in the ruins of the alien ship which removes the tattoo scar from over her eye and gives her a different, older look.

She has been shown to sustain speeds in excess of Mach 3, as when she destroyed a warship from within while saving Cyberforce from an updated killer robot.

In issue #31, when she spends a day with her sister Cassie, Carin also demonstrates that her eyes can move at an incredible pace as well, allowing her to follow the path of a card while playing a game of three-card monte.

[13] The Brain Box also enhances her reaction time and ability to process sensory input, so she will be able to control herself and understand what she sees and hears when moving at high speed.

When activated, these allow her to sprout sharp ridges along the outer length of her arms and legs, as well as the ability to quickly heal from injuries.
