I have two ideas, and I can't choose between either of them. Could you guys tell me which you think would be better?


[hider=Rose Smith]
A Romani girl whose grandparents were experiments of nazi scientists who is very wary of her powers, and afraid that she's a part of a whole new experiment. Her superhero name would be Phoenix- her power is multifaceted. The basis is that every time she is killed, she is resurrected in a burst of flames. If she dies of a cause not inflicted by another (i.e. illness, suicide, or natural disaster), she will not come back. While alive, she is basically fireproof- she cannot control fire or anything like that- and is able to fly, via a pair of wings on her back. She is deathly afraid of drowning, as she never learned to swim. The Lake Erie frightens her, and she refuses to go anywhere near it- however, sometimes, she has no choice.

She changed her name when she turned 18, from Pietra Maximov, as people are often prejudiced against Romani people. She studies biology and engineering, and is working to create cybernetics to enhance humanity- i.e. cyborgs. She herself is an amputee- she lost her arm when she was overseas, she was a marine- and she built her own new arm, which receives neuron signals from her brain, utilizing tech she invented herself. She is not rich, she merely has a rich boy or girlfriend, who provides her with the tools she needs to continue her research.

[hider=Zarqa]
A Muslim girl who is petrified that if she is discovered for her abilities, she will be sent to the electric chair. Her power? She is basically a walking wifi hotspot. The entire internet is accessible to her, in her head- her brain acts as a computer and router at the same time, her mind a monitor. Because of this, any superpowered person who has ever said anything about their abilities online is catalogued in her head. She knows the secret identities of more superheroes- and villains- than she can count. However, she keeps them secret, though she has in the past been tortured for information. Rather than getting directly involved with any fights between heroes and villains, she acts as a source of information to heroes, communicating with ones she has befriended via bluetooth devices in the midst of battle. Sometimes, she is the leader of a mission, if only behind the scenes. She is not known to the public. 

Her name would be Zarqa Nadir- she's from Saudi Arabia (so she knows Arabic, it's her first language), but when she was very little, her father brought her to the states for a better life. He was an actuary, so he was able to just move around all the time. She was raised mainly by nannies (they taught her spanish). Her father was killed when a villain decided he was evil, as he decided how much peoples' lives were worth, so she began to use her power to help others indirectly. She found a place in Detroit, before coming to Cleveland.
