History:
Sammi McCain was not always a nihilistic broken woman. But the loss of everything she ever loved not once, but twice will change people. Although her mother's race is blessed with an innate understanding of general technological principles, giving them an edge in reaching space. However, being humanoid, but not to the Ultimian standards, they were discovered and hunted to near extinction. The survivors fled to a small, backwater and unimportant planet at the far edge of the arm of the Galaxy, where they hid and merged with the population. A lot of them had children, and Sammi is one of them, and due to her genes, she was blessed with both a high intelligence and ability to 'talk' with machines.
However, being cautioned to not use her powers all her out of fear of being discovered -Despite humanity having known and experienced super powered post-humans since 1984- she always made sure that any sort of breakthrough was either done in a group or a fortuitous 'accident'. While working for Vector-Dyne, a technologically advanced corporation with arms in just about everything from vehicles to personal electronics, she fell in love with a Victor Hines, the amazingly young director of R&D and her boss. Freely and willing to give up everything for him, she became his partner in all things. For him, he knew of her gifts and subtly got her to foster them and build trust in humanity.
Then Paragon went insane. In wars, most human armies target technological and manufacturing centers and communication hubs. But when you're so powerful that most weapons don't harm you, and you want to murder, you simply ignore those and attack centers of mass population. Sammi was at work at a remote lab, having both her children with her at the time, due to scheduling conflicts with her husband's family and that saved them. Her man's private plane was disintegrated on live television in mid-air while Pittsburg was reduced to a cinder in minutes shortly after.
Now a single mother with twins, she began using her powers more overtly, to help both discover what made Paragon insane and to prepare against another incident of the same magnitude, not to mention feed her family. And although she succeeded on the latter, she wasn't in time to save her 9 year old boys nor her side of the family who moved to San Francisco, renamed to Bay City after the Paragon Incident. The Ultimians, her mother's greatest fear, implanted by her own mother (And Sammi's gram) came and began to decimate earth not only for harbouring various fugitive humanoid aliens that their purity crusade deemed unworthy of existence, but because Humans had also failed it and must be destroyed.
Although Bay City escaped mostly unscathed, a lot of the suburbs did not. And Grandma McCain and Timothy and Thomas were among the millions dead. That was enough for Samantha, everything she had and cared for, gone and she could do nothing. Now, she no longer cares. If people want her, they can pay for her. Anything, her powers, skills, gadgets, all for sale, because in the end, what does it matter?
Notes:
Her favourite devices are a pair of X-Ray goggles and a hover-board she made for her boys, as a way to try and feel something more than dead inside. Lately, she's taken to thrill seeking. Her costume has an amazing array of tools.
