Cassandra
Cassandra Vogler developed the power of Flight as a teenager. Her parents refused to accept that, and subjected her first to suppression therapy and then to clipping. On her eighteenth birthday, Cassandra ran away from home and sought refuge at SPOON. It didn't go very well at first, but she found friends who could help, opportunities for justice -- and even the hope that, someday, she might get her superpowers back.
