Molly Hernandez

"That's what I love about you Molly. Our parents are killers, the cops are crooked and we almost got killed by some gang members. But you see it as everything is going great."

- Karolina Dean

Molly Hernandez is an enhanced human with the power of super-strength, a power she presumably gained after being exposed to a mysterious type of rocks prior to and during the explosion that killed her biological parents, Alice and Gene Hernandez, when she was a child. Molly is the adopted daughter of Dale and Stacey Yorkes, and the adoptive sister of Gert Yorkes. Upon reuniting with her childhood friends, they discovered that their parents used PRIDE to cover up ceremonial sacrifices of the Church of Gibborim. She teamed up with her friends and formed the Runaways.

 * Superhuman Strength: Molly developed superhuman strength, presumably a result of coming in contact with a mysterious rock during her childhood. Though she started manifesting physical characteristics of this change immediately after the explosion that killed her parents (specifically, a reddish glow emanating from under the skin around her eyes and a bright golden-orange limbral ring around her irises), her powers did not start to develop until she reached puberty. In moments of great stress, tension, or other heightened emotions, her eyes begin to glow and her physical strength increases to superhuman levels. Since reaching puberty, Molly has demonstrated the power to easily crush a metal bench in her hands, lift a large SUV off of the ground, push a Volkswagon bus and another SUV for a considerable distance, rip a toilet that had been bolted to the floor up into the air, wrench a set of bars in a public bathroom from the windows (and taking quite a bit of the brick wall surrounding it as well), and push open a large set of locked wood and concrete doors, the latter of which was a feat that the other five Runaways were previously unable to accomplish with their combined strength. The upper limits of her powers are not yet known. However, after using her powers, Molly usually becomes very exhausted and sleepy.
 * Bioluminescence: When Molly's strength increases, her eyes glow with bright golden-orange ring around her irises.

Abilities

 * Multilingualism: Molly has demonstrated the ability speak both American English and Spanish.
 * Dancing: Molly is a skilled street dancer and would have made the dance team at Atlas Academy had she not been stricken by severe menstrual cramps and the manifestation of her powers during her tryouts.
