Batman v Superman film informatics Part 8A: Other allies


THE FLASH
Barry Allen is a very powerful metahuman, with the ability to tap into the Speed Force, allowing him to move at incredible supersonic speeds, making him the fastest known being in the universe.

When Barry was young, his mother was killed by an unknown force and his father was framed for her murder and jailed. Barry grew up becoming obsessed with forensic science to prove his father's innocence. After getting struck by lightning, whilst at work at the Central City Police Department, Barry was endowed with super speed, and has since become the speedster hero known as the Flash.


Powers and abilities
All of Barry's powers are derived from the Speed Force, an extra dimensional energy field. Access to the Speed Force allows Barry to travel so fast that he can move into another plain of frequency where there are other realities and travel forwards and backwards in time. As Barry uses his Speed Force powers, lightning erupts from his body.
Super Speed - Barry's main ability, he can control his molecular structure to move at super human speeds, way beyond the speed of sound. He can run so fast, he can run across water and even into another plain of frequency, as well as control his molecular structure with such precision, he can vibrate his body that he can run through walls.
Super Stamina - Barry's body can sustain using his abilities for extended periods of time.
Accelerated Healing - Barry's advanced molecular structure means that his natural healing process is vastly accelerated much like his running speed, meaning he heals from almost anything within hours.

Weaknesses
As Barry is a normal human with no invulnerability he is capable of being shot, stabbed or injured like any normal person if he is caught, meaning he must be extra careful not to be caught moving at normal speed.

AQUAMAN
Orin is the Atlantean King of the underwater city of Atlantis. As a half Atlantean, Orin has special abilities that enhance his physiology and make him an extremely powerful being as well as wielding the Trident of Neptune.

His mother was an Atlantean called Atlanna, while his father Thomas Curry was a human. He lived with his father Thomas in a lighthouse on the surface dweller's world as Arthur Curry, before claiming his birthright as the King of Atlantis and the Seven Seas.

Superhuman Strength - Orin has incredible superhuman strength (with it being at its peak underwater), though not quite on the same level as Superman[.
Super Stamina - Orin's advanced Atlantean musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human. As a result, his muscles produce far less fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to those of humans. His stamina enables him to exert himself at peak capacity for very lengthy periods of time without tiring at all.
Superhuman Durability - Orin's Atlantean skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being, granting him a strong degree of invulnerability, and allowing Orin to withstand high-caliber bullets, and tremendous underwater pressures.
Enhanced Senses - due to his Atlantean physiology, all of Orin's senses are enhanced, far beyond those of a regular person. For instance, he can clearly perceive his surroundings in the darkness of the ocean depths.
Hydrokinesis- with his Trident, Orin can control vast bodies of water, summoning forth gigantic waves. He is also faster, stronger & smarter when exposed to water.
Hydrokinetic Healing Factor - Despite his astounding resistance to injury, it is still possible to injure Orin. However, due to his Atlantean physiology, he is able to heal at a rate much faster than a normal human being, when exposed to water.
Underwater Breathing - As an Atlantean, orin can naturally breathe underwater via his gills.
Marine Telepathy - Orin can telepathically communicate with and control marine creatures[2], and can summon numerous ones to his aid simultaneously when required.
Superhuman Speed - Orin can swim at the speed of a bullet, faster than any human being or marine creatures.

Weakness
Dehydration - Orin's main weakness is extended periods of time without water, which will severely weaken him, making Orin gradually lose most of his strength and powers. While on land, Orin is not quite as strong as he would be underwater, but extremely strong and formidable nonetheless.


CYBORG
Victor "Vic" Stone is the son of scientists Silas Stone and Elinore Stone. When Victor grew into his teenage years, he became a gifted football player. At some point, he was involved in a horrible accident and had to have the majority of his body amputated to survive. Distraught, Silas took Victor to S.T.A.R. Labs to try experiments on him to save his life which he begins recording. Using a Mother Box, an Alien sentient super computer which he managed to turn on, it began to bond with Victor's body, growing cybernetic limbs and restoring Victor's body into a Cyborg. Alarmed, Silas turns off the recording.

Technopathy: Cyborg, due to him being a cybernetic organism, is able to connect and interface seamlessly with anything technological.
Constant Internet Access: Cyborg, as a technopath, is constantly plugged into the Internet, taking in vast amounts of data.

Weaknesses
Humanity Maintenance: Cyborg's greatest weakness is him being forced to desperately try not to succumb to the technology around him on a regular basis, and maintain his humanity.
