Origin:

Frieda Ratsel was a German spy who, after extracting a portion of the super-soldier serum from an American G.I., used it and the knowledge of the serum the Germans already had on herself. This gave her super strength and stamina, and as such, she should be considered an altered human.

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Whip:
Frieda carries a long leather whip at all times. Though it is only of Typical (6) material strength, she can use it to inflict Remarkable (30) Edged Attack damage (it's all in the wrist), or she can use it to grapple an opponent with Good (10) ability at a range of about ten feet. This grapple attack, if used around a foe's neck, can cause them to suffocate if Frieda puts her full strength into the grapple.

Quirks:

Sadism, x2:
more than anything else, Frieda enjoys inflicting pain and suffering upon others, particularly men. If given an opportunity to do so, she must pass a psyche FEAT roll at -2 CS in order to resist the urge to either beat men unconscious and / or tie them up and 'go to work' on them.

Talents:

Detective / Espionage:
Frieda has been highly trained in Nazi techniques for surveillance, intelligence gathering, and torture. In these situations, she should make reason and intuition FEATs as though the applicable ability scores were +1 CS in rank.

Hypnotism: Frau Ratsel is also highly skilled at hypnotism. She can extract information and install post-hypnotic suggestions into a target's mind as if she had a reason-ranked mind probe power. Victims gain a yellow psyche FEAT roll to resist hostile hypnosis inflicted upon them.

Languages / English, French, and German: a born German woman, Frieda is naturally fluent in the German tongue. However, as she has been forced to interrogate large numbers of Allied soldiers, it is assumed that she can speak French and English, as well.

Military: as one of Hitler's elite interrogation officers, Frieda is assumed to have been trained in proper, basic military techniques. Furthermore, she carries significant rank as both an interrogator and as Warrior Woman, so she can lead groups of soldiers on various missions of necessary.

Weapon Specialist / Whip: Frieda has mastered the use of this weapon and employed it often, either in battle or during her... personal exploits. She can use any whip as if her fighting score was +2 CS in rank, and receives a +1 initiative bonus while wielding it in battle.

Contacts:

As one of Hitler's main men (or women, I suppose), Frieda had several advantages over other Nazis of her day and age. She was able to hob nob with other costumed super Nazis and other German citizens of high standing during those dark times. Currently, she's working with the second Master Man, and since the man has fallen for her, she can likely get him to do anything. Anything.

Costume:

Frieda made use of a skimpy, intimidating black leather outfit while 'at work', either as Warrior Woman or as your regular fiendish Nazi interrogator. This costume was basically a leather one-piece outfit, coupled with hip-hugger leather boots, gloves, and assorted straps on her arms, legs, and torso (for effect). She also bore a black choker collar and a red swastika arm band.

Personality:

Frieda comes across as a real man-hater, but then, the man she was primarily exposed to during most of her appearances was, in fact, a real boor. However, she does seem to get off on torturing men, moreso now that she's been transformed into a veritable Amazon amongst men. This attitude may have softened a bit now that she has fallen for the new Master Man, but that remains to be seen.

Story:

Frieda Ratsel first appeared as one of Hitler's personal interrogation officers, a woman who loved to torture men, and could invariably extract any information from them. On one particular assignment, she was to acquire certain information about the American super-soldier serum the Nazis lacked. Upon doing so, she used this information (along with the Nazi's) to empower herself.

Injecting the compound into herself, she grew much taller, and more than doubled her own body mass with raw muscle. Dubbing herself the Warrior Woman, she teamed up with the oafish Master Man to defeat the Invaders team, who he'd defeated earlier (they were attempting to escape). Rejoicing at this, Hitler decided to have the two married, in order to create a race of super-Germans.

Though she didn't like this, as she hated men in general (and Master Man in particular), Frieda nonetheless went along with her leader's wishes, and went through with the marriage ceremony Hitler arranged. The Invaders attempted to escape yet again, however, and ready for the super-soldier duo this time, the heroes managed to win out in the end.

Despite their failure, Frieda and Master Man were used again and again against the interloping Invaders, either by themselves or later as members of Lady Lotus' Super-Axis. However, the war eventually turned against the Nazi regime, and for the sake of the future (according to Nazi thinking), Frieda and Master Man were placed in cryogenic storage, to be awakened at a later date.

This date came after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, when Germany was finally stitched back together after the end of the so-called Cold War. Frieda's savior from sleep, one Axl Nacht, immediately fell in love with her, and conspired to steal Master Man's powers to become a suitable mate. He did this soon after, during a scuffle between Master Man and Namor the Sub-Mariner.

Having been seduced by the man, Frieda didn't mind a bit, especially because she hated Master Man to begin with. Once he acquired the villain's powers, Axl proclaimed himself the new Master Man of the fourth Reich to come, and vowed to conquer the world with Frieda at his side. Still adhering to the Nazi philosophy, Frieda happily went along with this plan.

Of course, the old Master Man, now powerless and despondent about the loss of the woman who never really loved him to begin with, destroyed an electrical box with the intention of killing himself - and everybody else present. This blast was thought to kill all of the Nazi villains present, but Namor never found any bodies in the wreckage.

Since the original Master Man managed to survive this blast somehow, despite his lack of powers, it is assumed that Frieda and Axl live on as well. They are no doubt scheming together to conquer the world, or at least a sizeable portion of it. And, as the two seem to dig each other, they're likely fulfilling Hitler's original plan for her and the original Master Man.

That being the breeding of a new wave of super Aryan warriors...

Using Warrior Woman in Other Stories:

As one of the premiere Nazi interrogators and super soldiers, Frieda could easily be plugged into virtually any evil plot perpetrated during the Golden Age, should it be desired. Of course, doing so would invariably involve her oafish husband, Master Man, who doggedly followed her everywhere she went in hopes of gaining her love (since he had it bad).

In modern times, she has been released from cryogenic storage, and with the second Master Man, presumably works to conquer the world with her own brand of fascist mayhem. This could involve virtually anything, from a reunion of the former Super-Axis to an alliance with the diabolical Red Skull to her own attempts at world domination. Virtually any evil is possible where her mind is concerned.
