For the past few weeks Odie had been constantly getting into trouble and was expelled from his boarding school due to his rebellious and aggressive behavior. Little did anyone know this was due to the radical hormonal changes his body was undergoing. Odie realized something was strange very recently after he nearly crippled the whole Offensive Line of the Football Team in his last school. He discovered that in times of stress or danger he experienced what he called "The Rush" and his body's flight or fight response kicked into overdrive. Soon after the incident he was sent to his father for punishment. There his father was busy working on developing of Plasmagnetic Levitation for the government. His first prototype was considered a failure as test subjects who attempted to use the Floating Board found it too difficult to use and often crashed out of control and ordered the prototype to be destroyed. Curious, Odie "rescued" the prototype and found the movements needed to control the device to be extremely similiar to those needed while skating. He then affixed normal skateboard wheels to the Board so no one would ask questions when he carried it around. Height: 5 ft. 9 in.Weight: 145 lbsEyes: GreenHair: BlackUnusual Features: Pale White Skin while OverdriveStrength Level: Overdrive unsually possesses the strength of a boy his age and build who engages in regular activity. During times of stress his adrenal levels rise enabling him to perform feats of superhuman strength, albeit for only a short period of time.Known Superhuman Powers: Overdrive possesses a radically altered physiology, especially his endocrine and glandular system. The chemistry of his seretonin and adrenaline have been altered allowing him to achieve superhuman feats of strength and endurance. Though such feats are often taxing to his body which is not fully adapted to such activity. His glands also release a chemical that reduces lactic acid build up in his muscles making him extremely resistant to fatigue while engaged in normal activity. An interesting side-effect to this chemical is its effect on the melanin content in his skin. Enabling him to virtually drain the pigment from his epidermis. The pain receptors in his brain also seem to have a "kill-switch" which allow him to shut off sensory input over a certain unknown threshold. Also when severely injured, his regenerative abilities seems to increase exponentially, dramatically increasing his recovery time. Another side-effect of his altered endocrine system is an increased production of Androstadienone, a chemical component of male sweat, that maintains higher levels of cortisol in females. This has been known to act as an aphrodisiac to the opposite sex.Equipment: Overdrive uses a "Hoverboard". The Hoverboard is basically a skateboard without wheels.  The hoverboard allows him to hover above the ground because of its reaction with the energy found within the surface of the earth itself.  The planet we live on is filled with magnetic forces which play along with gravitational pull.  Along with the use of the electromagnets underneath the hoverboard, it enables the board to propel and stay propelled above the ground indefinitely.  Because of the conflict between the magnets and the magnetic energy within the surface of the earth.  This conflict forces the board to resist the surface of the earth and remain suspended in the air.</blockquote>
