Assignment: "Create your own, original new superhero and make a short animation using
Flash." --Course Website

Zephyr is a mysterious superhero on the streets of Chicago. Appropriate for the windy
city, this young woman has the ability to control the air. Her powers allow her to fly,
lift objects, and launch powerful attacks at her enemies, all by manipulating the winds
around her. The only ones who know her true identity (college student Ash Harper) are
the members of a research group at Chicago Genetics Corporation, or CG Corp. These
researchers had been hired by the government to create a superhuman by manipulating
DNA; in their rush to find a test subject before losing their funding, they kidnapped
Ash, seeing her as a perfect subject and having no time to waste with formalities. The
test was interrupted, however, when gusting winds knocked out power lines near the CG
Corp. laboratory. When Ash awoke hours later, the researchers discovered that although
the original test had been a failure, they’d created a different kind of superhuman—
there seemed to always be a slight breeze around Ash, which turned to gusts and small
tornadoes when she was angered. With training, Ash learned to control her abilities.
She hated being locked inside the laboratory, though, with her powers constantly being
observed and measured. Ash eventually broke out and ran away; to show the researchers
that she didn’t fear them and wanted to live her own life, she became the superhero
known as Zephyr. The researchers are still trying to capture Ash and take her back to
the laboratory, but all of their attempts have failed. Zephyr still walks free,
twisting the winds to help those in need.
