Chase
Track Star
Voice Actor: Jeffrey Wright
Role: SDN Records Database / Robert's Friend
Character Profile
Robert Robertson's old family friend and retired speedster now working in SDN's hero records database, voiced by Westworld's Jeffrey Wright. Chase possesses acceleration powers that once made him formidable Brave Brigade member, but his abilities come with devastating cost: accelerated aging that left him appearing 80 years old at just 39. After realizing continued superhero work would consume his remaining lifespan, Chase retired to preserve what years he has left, accepting desk job managing SDN's records system. From this position he recommended Robert for dispatcher role, using insider connections to help his friend after the mech suit disaster. His exceptional mobility stat (9/10) reflects peak speedster capabilities that he can no longer safely deploy—tragic reminder of powers that became curse rather than gift. Chase provides Robert with institutional knowledge, access to hero databases, and emotional support as fellow hero navigating life after frontline retirement. Not part of playable Z-Team roster—he serves as information source, quest giver, and narrative connection to Robert's past. The accelerated aging storyline adds poignant depth, showing superhero careers' hidden costs beyond physical injuries.
