Background

The Rail was developed by Dr. Mike Bowman as the team vehicle for the heroes of Hero City. It is a three-car, single-rail vehicle equipped with hoverflight technology that allows it to travel nearly anywhere at great speeds.

Powers
The Rail is equipped with a heavy defenses, a blaster weapon, mounted waldoes, bleeding edge lab technology, a durable cell developed to hold metahuman targets, and an AI, "Daise," with the voice of a company character, who has an impressive library of programs and information, including a translation program.
Appearance

White with a broad, colored stripe running down the side, it appears much like a signature vehicle of the company, except that the color of its stripe changes every few seconds, rotating through bright orange, turquoise, pink, silver, red, blue, yellow, green, and copper.
