Character Summary

A former Judd Metrology employee transformed by chemical sabotage into an unpredictable velocity operator.

Biography

Quinton Harvey once worked at Judd Metrology before a chemical sabotage event changed his body and ended his ordinary career.

Canon history

Backstory

Quinton's knowledge of Judd Metrology gives him insight into AGC measurement systems and the people behind Eagle Wing's public mythology.
As Leap, he operates independently of the institutions that would classify, recruit, or exploit him. That independence makes him useful to heroes and dangerous to anyone expecting obedience.

Origin

A velocity-altering compound backfired during the sabotage, leaving Quinton capable of sudden bursts of speed that are powerful, difficult to regulate, and inseparable from the circumstances that created them.

Empty channels mean no defensible estimate has been published, never a zero rating.
