Tess Garcia Gates

Tess Garcia Gates was born into a world of duality, the child of a British father and a Puerto Rican mother. Her upbringing was marked by a constant struggle to reconcile her dual cultural identities, a tension that would later shape her worldview. As a young prodigy, Tess's natural gifts in engineering and technology propelled her to the forefront of innovation, eventually leading her to take the helm of her father's company, Gates Industry, after he was incarcerated. Driven by a relentless ambition to reshape the world, Tess co-founded the League of Champions, a powerful collective of aliens and enhanced individuals united in her vision of a controlled, orderly future. Donning a distinctive white jacket with sharp edges and black leather pants, Tess navigates the world with a detached, ruthless determination, wielding an array of cutting-edge gadgets to assert her dominance. Haunted by a persistent dissatisfaction, she strives to be seen as a visionary, a builder of the future, even if it means sacrificing her emotional connections to those around her.
