Shrew

Real Name:  Brewster, Sheila

Origin and Background:  Sheila Brewster was expelled from NAFBA (the North American Female Boxing Association) upon discovery of her dealings with a group of mobsters who had paid her to throw an important bout.  Hitting the skids, she managed to employ herself as a thug for a Chicago syndicate leader... eventually working her way up to a position of great fear and respect in the underworld.  Yet, she remained despondent over her ruined boxing career and has turned to drugs in order to cope.

When her drug use began to affect her performance, certain underworld elements used the opportunity to unseat her and force her out.  It was at that time that Mocker recruited her in to the Crushers.

It is likely, though unprovable, that the Shrew is a mutant to some degree, though a large part of her powers are certainly due to intensive daily training.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:  Shrew generally singles out one opponent in any combat, usually another hand-to-hand fighter, and ignores other opponents as much as possible until her chosen target is defeated.  Her first objective will be to size up her opponent by use of Weakness Detection.

She will then use fancy footwork (evasion) on her first action of each turn, using all remaining actions to jab away with her fists.  Whenever possible, she will always run around behind her opponent before attacking, forcing him to spend extra power to remain facing her.  She, on the other hand, will always try to keep her back to a wall.

Personality/Character Traits:  The Shrew is a bitter young woman and an opportunist.  She feels that being expelled from the NAFBA has ruined her life, and she uses drugs and criminal violence to help her cope with her anger.  She has found something of a home amongst the social misfits of the Crushers, even though she doesn't like all of them.  Sheila is a loyal follower of Mocker, but finds illusions of all kinds to be particularly unnerving.
