Iron Maiden

Real Name:  Stark, Agatha

Origin and Background: Agatha Stark, an Irish immigrant to the United States, is a former NATO scienist specialising in cybernetics.  While she was a competent scientst, she lacked imagiation which resulted in her being laid off during military budget cuts.  Shortly afterwards, she was recruited by Doctor Apocalypse to work on the Doomsday Robot project.  During this time, she designed and built the suit of powered armor that earned her a place in The Destroyers.

When the Destroyers were broken up in 1993 by the Ann Arbor branch of  Project: Superhero, she and Behemoth were sent to jail.  It was there that Mastermind found her and recruited her to work for the Black Legion.

Combat Tactis/M.O.:  She will try to get outside or up to the rooftop where she can make bst use of her jumping ability.  Despite her time with the Destroyers, she still lacks substantial experience against superhuman foes.  She will likely be nervous, leading her to stay close to her allies.  She will always electrify her Disruptor Staff, hoping to disable opponents as quickly as possible.

Personality/Character Traits:  The Iron Maiden has become as hard as her name sake.  Her time in prison was rough, and she wants to control her own destiny.
