Hummingbird (Amanda Hammacher)

"I grew up in Milford, Ohio. A town so nice, it could have been a sitcom set. Along with mom, we checked in with Honor Guard a lot. All the female members were my aunts. I remember them the most. They were the first to show me what it felt like to fly..."
-- Amanda, the New Hummingbird

History

In 2008 she aided Honor Guard in repelling a Torori invasion attempt. A comment assumed to be hers, references "thanks for the invitation to join..." That might refer just to the battle that day, or (more likely) an invitation to be an active member of Honor Guard. Her latest in-story appearance would seem to confirm the later as she makes commentary to an annual event called Red Cake Day.

Powers

Her powers are genetic in origin, forming from her mother, the original Hummingbird, and her father, Deven. Beyond the genetics, the powers source from magic. Old, mostly beneficial magic, but there is a malevolent portion as well. Deep, dark, and twisted, in nature. As Amanda grows, the magic within her continues to mature as well.

  • Most of her powers are blessings from the gods of Khapak Iqun, a hidden city in Peru. A partial list includes great spirit, grace, strength, a keen mind, luck, and curiosity.
  • Her most obvious power is flight, a gift and a curse bestowed upon her by the dark god Jabaja. This is the bad magic, and according to family friend and fighting companion, Tabitha Gray, it may eventually transform her into a bird, although the blessings she received from the other gods appear to be retarding that process.
  • She appears to have the power to project some form of energy blast, which she calls a "Hypersonic Hum"

Observations

  • Hummingbird can not endure the vacuum of space without a helmet.
