Azucar

Origins

Veronica Lopez was a highly skilled officer of the law, working for the Gotham City Police Department. She was so skilled that she was offered a promotion to become a detective but turned down that opportunity to work for US Homeland Security instead. After 6 weeks of working for Homeland Security and taking down super villains, Veronica and her team followed up on a tip which led to them being infected by a mutagen rock.

Quarantined and told they were all going to die, she told her family good bye, broke up with her fiance and auctioned off all her assets. One by one her team mates died, some of them showcasing new found powers beforehand. Veronica ends up the sole survivor and finds herself with new found powers, including telepathy. She is met by a man named Jake Dalesko who offers her membership into Checkmate. Having given up everything, she of course accepts his offer.
