Mercury is a minor character of Miraculous World: New York - United Heroez. He is a superhero and member of United Heroez, a team of superheroes, that protects the United States of America.
Appearance
As Mercury
As a superhero, Mercury has blue skin with white lightning bolt-like markings starting from his legs and arms, connecting around his torso. He has several large white dots intersecting the markings: two on each of his knees, two on his hip bones, on on his abdomen, two between his pectorals and collarbone, two on each shoulder, and two on each hand. His palms are white, as well as the soles of his feet. His hair and eyebrows are white and have a similar lightning motif. His eyes are also completely white.
Personality
Mercury's personality is not exactly known. In "Miraculous New York", he is brave and courageous. He is not afraid to stand up to fight the enemy to protect people. He is also loyal to other heroes. Given that he started playing around with his powers after being hit by Liberation, he is presumably normally very diligent and active.
Abilities
Mercury's abilities were not well represented. It is known that he can run very fast. While running, he also produces electrical charges, but it has not been found whether he can control them.
History
Miraculous New York
Mercury is seen on the news with the other members of the United Heroez, where President Camilla Hombee/Victory makes a statement about the hunt for Techno Pirate and postpones the French American Friendship celebration ceremony. Later in Times Square, Mercury and the other superheroes surround Techno Pirate, now Miraclonizer, who uses the Eagle Miraculous's power of Liberation to free all the superheroes from their ethical constraints, with Mercury's being to be quick on his feet and to help people.
Mercury then pulls up a folding chair and began to lounge lazily. Once he is freed from the effects of Miraclonizer's use of Liberation by Eagle, he attends the French American Friendship celebration ceremony. There Mercury watched as Snowflake made an ice sculpture of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Uncanny Valley, and Eagle as he celebrated them while standing on a huge rose created by Thorn.

Concept and Development
Mercury was developed as a character for the old, unused concept of Ladybug and Cat Noir being in a team of superheroes called the Quantic Kids. In this version, he appears to be the same age as Ladybug and Cat Noir, instead of his older appearance in Miraculous New York, and the lightning bolt-like lines across his body had light blue edges. The team consisted of Ladybug, Cat Noir, Melodie, and Sparrow. However, the concept was discarded, and this iteration of Mercury never appeared outside concept art.[1]
Trivia
- While an image of Mercury appeared in the first version of the Super Lady Luck slot game, he doesn't appear in the current version. The slot game has since been discontinued.[2]
- The Super Lady Luck version of Mercury also had blue irises with black sclera, instead of the completely white eyes he's usually depicted with.
- His name, abilities, and color palette are reminiscent of the DC Comics Speedster, Max Mercury.
