===Tachyon===
A one-woman scientific revolution and self-proclaimed "badass of science," Dr. Meredith Stinson has helped boost her world into an age of comic book technology thanks to the super-speed she gained from an experimental mishap with tachyons. In between using her powers to make her a ''really good scientist'', Dr. Stinson helps keep the world safe as the hero Tachyon and a member of the Freedom Five. Think a mixture of Reed Richards and the Flash.

Fittingly, Tachyon is all about speed. Many of her cards help her play or draw extra cards, and the ones that don't typically deal small amounts of damage. However, she ''also'' has two kinds of cards: "Burst" cards, and cards that get stronger the more Burst cards are in her trash. This is why her base power lets her look at the top card of her deck and choose whether or not to discard it: to help her get charged up faster. She makes a very effective damage dealer and, with the right cards, a semi-effective tank, as some of her cards also prevent, redirect, or mitigate damage. That said, a lot of her "Burst" cards are less-than-effective on their own to make up for how many of them she can play at a time.

'''Variants:'''
* ''Freedom Six'': With the greater part of the world's heroes scattered or dead at the hands of Iron Legacy, Tachyon assumes the mantle of the new leader as she creates the Freedom Six to oppose him in her timeline. Her base power lets everyone draw a card, and is often seen as one of the bigger examples of "power creep" in the game, as it is a better version of a couple different powers. To add insult to injury, she also has more health.  Easily one of the most powerful heroes in the entire game, with no real downside compared to her base card.
* ''Super-Scientific'': Tachyon "off the clock," working as a scientist. Her new power, Experiment, chooses a deck, looks at the two bottom cards, and puts them into play if they share a "keyword" (like One-Shot, Limited, Equipment, etc.), but otherwise discards them. The mechanics of how to best use this are... [http://handelabra.com/blog/2014/12/19/super-scientific-experimentation| complex], but if nothing else it works really well on both her and Legacy.
* ''Freedom Five'': Tachyon later in her career. Her base power is a purely offensive one, dealing 1 melee damage and then she can place a burst card back on the bottom of her deck to do another one melee damage. This continues until she either she either runs out of cards or chooses to stop using it. This version of Tachyon will have a harder time filling her trash with burst cards and using it at the wrong time can drain you, but putting some damage boosters on her can allow her to do insane damage since each burst card provides a separate instance of damage, each of which receives a boost.
