Fictional character biography

As a graduate student Cathy Webster participates in an unsanctioned psychology experiment involving subliminal recordings. She is subliminally programmed to hate all men, and her body is subjected to "mutagenic radiation". The radition enhances her body to peak human conditioning similar to Captain America. Cathy eventually overcomes her brainwashing and discovers the woman in charge of the experiment, a criminal scientist named Superia. She also crosses paths with the criminal Baron Zemo and the morally ambiguous Diamondback. Captain America takes Cathy and another hero, Jack Flag under his wing and trains them both. The duo also inherits Captain America's network of computer operatives called the "Captain America Hotline" when he temporarily loses his powers due to the breakdown of the Super Soldier Serum in his bloodstream.

The Initiative

Cathy is being considered as a "potential recruit" for the program, according to "Civil War: Battle Damage Report".

Powers and abilities

Like Captain America, Cathy has been augmented to peak human conditioning. She has reached a high level of martial prowess, including basic acrobatics and street fighting techniques, from training sessions with Captain America and Jack Flag.
