Renegade Blue II

History:

The Mantle of Renegade Blue:

Sofiya Ryіko was born on March 24 1966 to a family who had immigrated from Kiev, Ukraine to New York City to live in the borough of Brooklyn. At the age of thirteen, Sofiya found she had a knack for breaking into almost anywhere and would use this talent to provide extra income for her family in order to put food on the table.

Unfortunately when she was sixteen she was caught stealing from a wealthy business man by the name of Sebastien Duvalle. Disowned by her family and facing imprisonment Sofiya was visited by Duvalle with an offer. Because she was able to sneak past most of his security and broke into his vaults he was impressed. His offer was for her to Work for him and be cleared of all charges, as an added bonus her family would be provided for. If she declined not only would she go to prison but he would have her father framed for a crime and would personally make sure he ended up in a prison complex in Manhattan known as "The Tombs". Grudgingly, Sofiya accepted the mans offer and worked as his personal cat burglar under the name Sarina Blue.

Wanting her to excel in her field Duvalle enrolled her in a genetic alteration program personally funded by himself. After a month of torturous experimentation Sarina found herself possessing super speed and able to shape-shift, altering not only her own appearance but changing her hands into a variety of weapons and utensils. Another side effect of the changes was a significant increase to her intelligence.

Sarina would be sent into museums, research centers and even the houses of the rich and famous in order to retrieve whatever her master would deem important. Eventually she crossed paths with a hero known as Phase Walker who could walk through walls and even teleport himself to another location. Sarina stuck a deal with Phase Walker to bring the man who held her prisoner to his knees and so she began to plot the fall of Sebastien Duvalle.

When the day finally came to take on Sebastien Duvalle the two heroes discovered that he had been using the artifacts and the research Sarina had procured for him in order to perform a ritual to grant him eternal youth. Because of their interference the ritual backfired on him causing him to age at an accelerated rate. In his final moments he called Sarina his "little Renegade" before passing away. With her new found freedom Sarina sought to atone for her crimes, protecting the innocent under the mantle of Renegade Blue.

During her career as a Super Hero, Renegade Blue was tasked with protecting a group of Chinese spies who wished to defect to the US. One of whom was named Chao Leng. The two could barely tolerate one another even going as far as trading blows throughout the course of her mission. Eventually they began to warm up to one another and on the final night of the mission they spent the night together.

As a result of this this Sarina fell pregnant and was forced to retire. During the course of her pregnancy she returned to Brooklyn where she set up her own private laboratory with Chao Leng as her partner and protector.

The Next Generation:

On August 9th 1986 Sarina gave birth to a baby boy. Curious as to whether he inherited any of her abilities she began to treat the child as more of a specimen for examination rather than her own child. It was not until his third birthday when he was ready to join preschool. She gave him the name Daniel Leng. On Dan's eighth birthday he exhibited signs of possessing super speed. Worried that he had also inherited her ability to shape-shift she removed him from his elementary school and began homeschooling him while conducting tests on him.

While the boy showed no signs of being able to shape-shift she discovered that the friction caused by how fast he could run set his feet ablaze causing fourth degree burns to himself. Sarina was able to heal the injuries and he was warned to be mindful of the speeds he ran at.

Dan's only interaction with the outside world was through the limited TV sessions his mother allowed and the comic books that his father would smuggle for him during his trips outside. Growing up he would watch the news following the exploits of super teams like The Justice Squadron and other super heroes. Dan felt inspired by these heroes even wanting to become one himself despite his mothers consul. Knowing her son would not be swayed she revealed the details of her past life to him with the intent on passing the mantle of Renegade Blue onto him. In order to help him with his endeavor she constructed a suit with flame retardant properties to protect him from his own abilities and so Dan set out to protect the Innocent of New York as the second Renegade Blue.

Deep Freeze:

In 2006 during his second year as The Renegade Blue, Dan responded to an alert that VIPER were planning on bombing the New York Subway. While he was able to assist other heroes in disposing of most of the bombs in his area until a VIPER agent was able to detonate a bomb he was in close proximity to. His suit provided minimal protection from the blast and he was left broken and bleeding. While being taken to a nearby hospital his mother was able to retrieve him and place him in suspended animation while she worked feverishly to rebuild him.

His skin was replaced a synthetic "plasti-skin" which possessed fire retardant properties like his original suit, Shattered bones were replaced with an experimental alloy created by Sarina herself and all damaged organs were cloned and replaced. It took his mother three years to fix the damage that was dealt to him. When Dan finally regained consciousness he had no recollection of the event that had forced his mother to place him in deep freeze. Even when he found out what had happened to him it did not discourage him from carrying on as a Hero.

Shortly after his awakening Dan and his family moved to Millennium City the City of the future.
