Rosa Acevedo’s origins lie in Guadalajara, Mexico. There she was a daughter of two superhuman beings, the underwater adventurer Aquatico and the super-fast Rapida. Because of her origins, she was raised as a metahero, often using the name Waterspeed.

As Waterspeed, she never felt comfortable under dangerous circumstances, but always seemed drawn to them. She wants nothing more than to start a normal life in her new home, but keeps getting drawn back in to dangerous situations.
