For the The Flash episode, see Trajectory.
"Eliza's not here right now. My name is Trajectory."
—Trajectory to Team Flash

Eliza Harmon, self-nicknamed Trajectory, was a scientist at Mercury Labs who gained the ability of super speed by reverse-engineering the Velocity 9 formula initially created by Caitlin Snow and Harrison Wells.

Biography

Eliza worked at Mercury Labs, where she worked alongside Caitlin Snow for a while. After Caitlin left, she had trouble reformatting the extra-cellular matrix for Velocity 9, so she called Eliza for assistance, only giving her a limited number of components so as to not reveal what she was working on. Eliza helped to properly sort out the formula, and so in secret she made some for herself.[1]

Antics as Trajectory

Eliza talks to Trajectory.

Several weeks later, she created a suit to protect her identity, calling herself Trajectory. Having grown schizophrenic from frequent Velocity 9 use Eliza often argued with Trajectory, she began by robbing everyone within a 6 mile radius of a night club. Eliza was approached by Caitlin and detective Joe West and questioned for any information on the Velocity 9. Eliza though claimed to have destroyed the original serum they worked on. Not long after Trajectory convinced Eliza they needed more, she broke in to S.T.A.R. Labs, requesting that they make her some more Velocity 9. She stole a gun, threatening Jesse's life, before they produced some for her. She used some on Jesse to make sure that it wasn't laced with sedatives, before leaving.

Trajectory begins to dissolve in to nothing

Eliza begins to dissolve into nothing.

With the extra serum, she began running back and forth across a bridge, causing it to crumble, but not before The Flash could save everyone, despite her attempts to stop him. He was able to jump across the gap, tackling her to the ground. He pleaded with her to see reason, but she refused and injected herself with more pure Velocity 9. She began running, but as her cells had degenerated too much, her lightning turned blue and her body dissolved into nothing, leaving only her suit. Through this, Eliza was sucked into the speed force.[1]

Personality

In the presence of others, Eliza was friendly and happy to help. However, in private, partly due to her eventual addiction to Velocity 9, she began to manifest a split personality, Trajectory, a psychopath who has no qualms about throwing Joe West, threatening to shoot people and even wantonly collapsing a bridge.[1]

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Velocity 9 enhancement: After injecting herself with Velocity 9, Eliza gained the powers of a speedster.
    • Superhuman speed: Due to the effects of Velocity 9, Eliza was able to move at superhuman speeds. She was even faster then the Flash; albeit when Barry was moving at Mach 2.
    • Superhuman reflexes: Eliza's increased speed also augments her reaction time, allowing her to react to danger and events far faster than a normal human.
    • Superhuman agility: Eliza was incredibly agile, able to change direction immediately. Allowing her to make sharp turns on city streets while moving at super speed, without sliding or losing her balance.
    • Superhuman endurance: Eliza's body can handle the stresses of superhuman racing without noticeable distress, and her body's enhanced stamina allows her to function much longer than a normal human without getting tired or weak. Eliza was able to recover from attacks and exertion much quicker than normal humans.
    • Accelerated perception: Eliza's speed also extends to her senses and mental capacities, able to take in information and process it just as fast. This allowed Eliza to see the world as if it is in slow motion, which combined with her physical speed lets her think, perform actions, and react to events, long before a normal human around him could even perceive them.
    • Extreme force generation: Through Eliza's ability to accelerate her movements, she can generate great amounts of physical forces through kinetic energy and friction, allowing her to overpower regular humans with little to no effort (as evidenced by the fact that she threw Joe West and the Flash several feet).
    • Electrokinesis: Like all speedsters, Eliza was able to generate electricity from her body, which was yellow in color, although it turned blue right before her death.

Abilities

  • High-level intellect: Eliza was an exceptionally bright scientist, able to reproduce the Velocity 9 formula, even though Caitlin Snow only told her 3 of the 8 components of V-9.

Weaknesses

  • Velocity 9: Velocity 9 does give Eliza the power of super speed, but as she uses it too many times, it brought her some undesirable side effects.
    • Schizophrenia: The V-9, split Eliza's personality and separated her mind in two; herself and her alter ego; Trajectory, hungry for entertainment and power.
    • Cells deterioration: As Eliza used the formula too many times, the cells of her body began to degenerate, ultimately causing her body to dissolve into nothing.

Equipment

  • Trajectory suit: Eliza wore a suit as her supervillainess alter-ego, Trajectory, to hide her identity from her victims. It is unknown what materials it is made out of.
  • Trajectory Mask: Eliza wore a mask as her supervillainess alter-ego Trajectory, to hide her identity from her victims. It is unknown what materials it is made out of.
