Hannah Stewart

"'The Red Circle will stand to account for their crimes in a court of law. I will not be their executioner yet, but I will stop their reign of blood.' - Hannah Stewart, while in recovery from her injuries at the hands of the Red Captain."Hyperion I, also known as Hannah Stewart is a metahuman created by the Hyperion Project. She was the first 'born' of the seven soldiers, and showed the most promise through her initial training. She is the leader of the Atlas Protectorate, and is the most commonly seen member of the Protectorate in Atlas Media. She is generally seen as the strongest member of the team by the public, and she is a charismatic face for the group. She was the first member of the Protectorate caught on camera, despite her previous plans to the contrary.

Hyperion Soldier
As a Hyperion Soldier, Hannah is obviously inhuman. She stands tall above most people, and moves with a striking purpose so that anyone watching feels the impression that every step is calculated and allows for instant reactions. She has inhuman strength and dexterity, not to the range of Hyperion III or Hyperion II for example but swift enough to outmanoeuvre III and strong enough to defeat II with brute strength. Her abilities place her in a middle ground where she can best her opponents using their weakness as she has no obvious flaws in her fighting style. The only Hyperion Soldier she cannot defeat reliably is Hyperion V, due to V's similar medium style and highly unorthodox tactics. As of more recent times, she has admitted she is unable defeat Elijah Samson either, citing obvious reasons.

Appearance-wise Hannah takes after Connelly's father Todd, inheriting his lime-green eyes and golden hair.

Early Years
Hannah was chosen as the leader at a young age, as her genetic modifications were designed around a generalist combat style. She trained heavily with melee weaponry, favouring a Power Sword designed around quick combat, but she also has displayed aptitude for sniper roles and heavy weapon use. Her natural advantage made her highly confident, and she earned either the trust of her fellow Hyperion Soldiers or their hate. However, there was no 'rivalry' as prolific as the one between Hyperion I and Hyperion V. While Hannah and Natalie initially competed heavily, they later became extremely close siblings.

2038 Incidents
Over the course of 2038, the Hyperion Soldiers began to have false backstories and lives set up for them, mostly explaining that they were simply modified from General Eric Connelly and Nestor McKellen's DNA rather than born from them as well as Sergei Chernov and Jewel Mondragon. Hannah is recorded to have been unhappy with this setup, being quoted as saying:"'Jewel betrayed us. That's a fact, yes, but we can't just remove her and Mr Chernov from history. Before she was an enemy, before Chernov was a shell of a man, they were heroes damnit!' - Hannah Stewart"While their backstories were being finalized, the Hyperion Soldiers were released from Area 51 to begin integrating into modern society. Of course, on the very first day of being in a big city, in this case Los Angeles, Hannah managed to engage an entire cell of the hate group 'The Holy Resistance.' When she subdued the last opponent, her fists crackling with electricity, she then noticed the news crew behind her.

In the days following Hannah's introduction to the Atlas Coalition, Natalie followed suit in aiding firefighters in evacuating a burning building. Barnabus went and got a job in construction working as a forklift, Elijah seemed to vanish for a time, only reporting back to Dr Valcz when necessary. Sebastian Moss attempted multiple times to get a job as a professional sports player, being rejected for his Metahuman implants by nearly every talent scout.
