Ruben Eugene Runner is a 19-year-old guy born in early 2007 somewhere in Upper Queens, New York. In his world, certain people are born with “Abnormalities,” superhuman abilities caused by unusual mutations during fertilization and embryonic development. Ruben developed one of the most extreme Abnormalities imaginable: super speed. His mutation was so abnormal that he fully developed in under nine minutes before birth.

By the age of three, Ruben’s speed had already manifested at dangerous levels. As he grew older, his abilities became even more powerful, eventually allowing him to reach speeds up to Mach 4.1. At those velocities, he can move faster than sound and cross large distances almost instantly.

Despite his overwhelming speed, Ruben is not limitless. His body still has roughly normal human stamina, meaning he can only maintain extreme movement in short bursts before suffering severe exhaustion and painful heart palpitations. Fortunately, his body also recovers unusually quickly, making long-term vulnerability or death from overexertion unlikely.

Personality-wise, Ruben is sarcastic, abrasive, and constantly mocking toward enemies. He enjoys getting under people’s skin because he views psychological domination as part of winning a fight. However, beneath the attitude, he genuinely cares about the people close to him and is fiercely loyal to his allies.

Around November 2022, 13 year old Ruben was drafted to the CIA's superhuman task force due to his uniquely high running speeds, allowing him to help fight against the Catalyst Corporation, whom essentially is a corrupted company that functions as an office, hiring superhuman terrorists to cause chaos globally.

A unique fact about Ruben is that he openly loves green peppers on pizza, with jalapeños & pepperoni, he eats Raisins regularly as a snack every 2 to 3 hours, and his favorite drink is Sprite, specifically Mcdonalds Sprite.

Whenever he uses his super speed, he leaves a blur of distorted motion with orange afterimages that fade into neon yellow, and the sound effect that's heard when He 'launches like a rocket' sounds akin to a desert eagle firing a bullet, and when he runs past someone at super speed, they describe the sound as a high-pitched turbine, and the sound effect of the gunshot oddly plays in reverse when he slows to a stop.
