REAL NAME: FAITH HERBERT
ALIASES: Zephyr; Summer Smith.
ABILITIES: Companion field, flying.
KNOWN ASSOCIATIONS: Obadiah Archer, Armstrong, G.A.T.E., Ivar Anni-Padda, the Harbinger Renegades.
Faith's parents died in a car crash when she was young. They left behind a massive collection of comic books.
She's a huge fan of comics, sci-fi and pop culture, especially anything with a time-travel arc.
The Harbinger Foundation, specializing in young psiots, founded by Toyo Harada, approached Faith when she was a teenager. She agreed to have Peter Stancheck activate her latent powers.
She later joined Stancheck and the Harbinger Renegades in their fight against Harada, which resulted in the death of one of their own, Flamingo, after she saved Faith's life.
As the Renegades disbanded, Faith moved to L.A. where she started working for Zipline, an entertainment website, and penned the name Summer Smith. Her co-workers eventually learned her true identity after the Vine attacked the office.
Faith’s first encounter with the Faithless happened during a West Coast Fan Con, where she and Obadiah Archer were involved in an incident caused by Murder Mouse, a thief trading with magical objects. The Faithless is formed by Faith’s archnemesis: Murder Mouse, Chris Chriswell (formerly America’s favorite superhero actor, now criminal mastermind), Dark Star (superevil psiot entity trapped in the body of a cat), and Sidney Pierce (a Vine planting disguised as a celebrity).
When the Faithless framed Faith for murder, she stopped her superhero activities and kept a low profile, except for an incident in Washington, D.C. during Valentine’s Day. She was in a romantic relationship with Archer, but they went their separate ways after the incident.
Sometime later, she made a deal with General Capshaw to use G.A.T.E.’s resources to clear her name, catching all the Faithless and delivering them to the authorities.
OTHER DETAILS: She's one of the few psiots that embraced her superpowers as a means to be a superhero and help others.
She would prefer the codename Zephyr.
