     Lauralene Tallman was and is a private investigator.  She’d 
been tracking down stolen equipment for one of her employers and 
got a lead that got her captured and nearly killed.

     The equipment was being used to steal super powers off of 
captured supers.  She probably would have been shot and killed 
there and then but things were busy at the moment and she was 
handcuffed and locked in a closet.

     The device itself was able to perform the functions of a 
linked set of Super powers, Drain Super Ability and Mimic Super 
Ability and 'burn' the powers into a human giving him or her the 
powers stored in the machinery.  Theoretically the donor's 
powers would recover IF the processs didn't kill them or if the 
people behind this scheme didn't kill them off after the 
removing them from machine, which they generally did.  

     They were giving their agents super powers this way, 
buildiing a small army of metahumans to do whatever purposes 
they had in mind.  

     That particular afternoon, things went horribly wrong.  The 
machinery overloaded as the current victim managed to shrug off 
whatever drug had kept him helpless and began using his powers 
to try and escape.

     The explosion bathed everyone in the building with the 
energy the powers were 'written' on.  For a few minutes at 
least, everybody gained EVERY power the machine had stored.

     The explosion empowered several of the other captives who 
broke out and began to fight their captors.     

     Tallman used hers to escape.  Most of the powers faded away 
within minutes but in a couple of cases including hers, some 
powers remained in effect apparently permanently grafted on.

     She doesn't need to breathe, and her toughened body is able 
to handle vaccuum without harm.  She can stick to and climb any 
surface and move at her normal speed.  She can also leap fairly 
far faster than normal physics would account for)

     The battle at the machine destroyed the place fairly 
completely.  She's had no real leads to this organization since 
then.  As it happened, she had no ID on her when she was 
captured so the organization has no real leads on her though 
it's possible a surviviving member at that site could recognize 
her, they do not for game purposes constitute an 'enemy'.
