Rose Wilson
"Save the sarcasm for someone you can intimidate." - Rose |
Biography; Employment at N.O.W.H.E.R.E.At some point in her past, Rose was abducted by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and forced under Harvest's employ. There, she is given the job of Superboy's handler, to keep him alive in the field or kill him, should he become uncontrollable. During this time, it is shown that Rose has a very close friendship with a N.O.W.H.E.R.E. scientist, Caitlin Fairchild, expressing her concern over the latter working herself so much. When Superboy inadvertently causes Caitlin to reveal her metahuman powers, N.O.W.H.E.R.E. intervenes and takes her away. Because of this, Rose comes to resent Superboy for being the reason that she lost Caitlin.
When Superboy later breaks into the N.O.W.H.E.R.E facility, demanding answers as to what they have planned for him, Rose is deployed to bring him in. She manages to do this with the use of a careful strategy and a kryptonite gun, which, though failing to incapacitate him, gets him to drop his Telekinetic Field, allowing her to throw a sword into his chest. Afterwards, when she is walking down the hallway in preparation to leave the facility, she is attacked from behind and knocked out by Wonder Girl. A short time later, after the Teen Titans' infiltration of N.O.W.H.E.R.E is unsuccessful and most of the members are captured, Rose is seen in charge of overseeing the facility's cleanup. During this time, she is struck by an energy blast from Leash. This causes her to go into a brief, wild frenzy before being hit by a countering blast from Solstice (the only member of the Teen Titans still loose), which returns her to normal. Solstice reveals that Leash's blast is designed to bring out the very worst in people, and that Rose used to be much worse than she is now. Solstice goes on to say that she was there with Harvest when they first found her, and that Rose was "a killer among killers." Harvest then "changed" Rose to make her more controllable, resulting in some apparent memory loss. Solstice urges Rose to hang on to the woman she has become, not to give in to her darker nature, and says it's her choice. Though Rose seems to take Solstice's words to heart, she questions whether it really is her choice. She is then seen taking in an unconscious Solstice and delivering the Teen Titan to Harvest, as N.O.W.H.E.R.E.'s plans progress Rose is then deployed as part of the team sent to take in the members of Legion Lost, her target being Timber Wolf. She fights him to a standstill in a relatively even, though brief, battle, before being ordered to activate her psi-shield. This protects her against Psykill's Psi-Blast, which knocks all those within a three city block diameter unconscious. With all the Legionnaires currently incapacitated, Rose returns with her team to N.O.W.H.E.R.E. |
Powers/AbilitiesPrecognition: Rose's powers include limited precognition. She is sometimes able to use her precognitive abilities to 'see' her opponent's next moves, although her visions come and go, mainly it appears to manifest when her adrenaline is running. In one instance, she was able to have an extensive precognitive vision where she saw her father's (Deathstroke's) future. During this jaunt, Rose was able to project her astral form and inhabit the body of someone in the future (similar to her brother Jericho's ability).
Unarmed Combat: Rose is a skilled martial arts expert, having trained under her mother from a young age and Deathstroke later on, with enhanced agility, speed, strength and endurance. Weapon Master: She is also very skilled in the use of a bo staff and dual wielding swords, though it seems to matter little what weapon you give her as chances seem to be that she can use it. Enhanced Attributes: Rose was given the same serum as her father, essentially turning her into a super soldier. Her strength, speed, reflexes, durability, healing, etc. all surpass peak human levels. These attributes appear to be even greater in the New 52 reboot so far. Combined with her skill and precognition, this turns her into a true force to be reckoned with. Power Dampening: In the New 52 universe, Rose's metagene causes her to dampen and reduce another person's invulnerability, and possibly other traits such as super strength. This allows her to do damage to people such as Majestic and Superboy. Psionics: In the New 52, Rose has possible psionic abilities. This is a common ability among Gen-Actives. She was shown in one instance as speaking "psionically" (telepathically), to Caitlin Fairchild. Immunity to Mind Control/Body Possession: In the New 52, Rose was show as being completely immune to Jericho's ability to possess bodies and control people's minds. |
