Velocidad (Gabriel Cohuelo) is a fictional comic book superhero appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #527, in the second chapter of the "Five Lights" storyline, and was created by Matt Fraction and Kieron Gillen. He is one of the "Five Lights"—a group of mutants who manifested their abilities after the events of "Second Coming".
Velocidad first appeared in Uncanny X-Men as a teenager whose mutation is out of control. Following his introduction, he, along with Hope Summers, Transonic, Oya, Zero, and Primal, began to feature in the series Generation Hope. He continues to make appearances in Uncanny X-Men as well.
He has shown a romantic interest in Hope, flirting with her upon meeting and kissing her upon arrival at Utopia. By the events of Schism, the pair had gone on at least one date before breaking up.
Gabriel is a 16-year-old mutant from Mexico City. When his powers manifest, he loses control; his thoughts race and his body begins to move so quickly that he can no longer be seen with the naked eye. Fearing for his safety, Cecilia Reyes and Psylocke restrain him with Cecilia's force field until Hope Summers arrives to stabilize his powers.
After this incident, Gabriel decides to follow Hope on her mission to retrieve the remaining Lights. Eventually, after recruiting Oya and Primal, the group travels to Japan, and Gabriel participates in his first mission - subduing the mutant Kenji Uedo. Kenji lost control of his bio-mechanical powers, and has started destroying Tokyo. In the course of the fight, Gabriel is excited that he is now teammates with X-Men like Wolverine and Cyclops, but worries about the danger he's put himself into. Gabriel is eventually key to taking Zero down, as he rushes Hope close enough to Zero to mimic his powers, while also helping ensure the other Lights are not injured.
