Powers:

Flight: originally bearing the levitation limitation, this power has since evolved into true flight capability for Madeline, and she can wield this power at intensity 2; she was known to be quite a slow flier, though she could still do so faster than walking. In other words, her flight is about 30 miles per hour (slow but dependable).

Resistance to Fatigue Poisons: Madeline is possessed of an amazing stamina, able to sustain strenuous activity for exceptionally long periods of time. This is because she is highly resistant to her own fatigue poisons, poisons she has a +5 resistance to. She may or may not have additional resistance to other, more deadly toxins.

Now, in game terms, this super stamina has the effect of adding it's number to any action Madeline attempts in regards to sustaining long-term physical activity, like running, lifting, flying, etc... This doesn't increase the amount of weight she can lift, or the speed she can run or fly at, just the duration that she can continue such exertion without succumbing to sheer exhaustion.

Faded Powers: though she retains her levitation and super-human stamina, Madeline initially possessed a much wider variety of powers, abilities which seemed to fade with time after her initial brush with the fantastic. Madeline's lost powers, whether they were faded 'secondary mutations' or the simple result of her body being super charged by all that electricity, include the following:

* Enhanced Senses / Penetration Vision: Madeline doesn't possess enhanced senses, per se, but she formerly had this power, wielding it at least at intensity 5. However, her vision deteriorated over time, and this power sort of faded away (in fact, she has to wear glasses in order to see normally, now). Consider the current intensity of the power 0.

* Enhanced Strength and Intellect: for a short time after the freak electrical incident that activated her powers, Madeline was impressed of truly super human ability. Though these enhancements faded with time, Madeline was possessed of a Strength score of 15 and an Intellect score of 10, both of which were significant boons to her early crime-fighting career.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Boxing: a skilled hand to hand combatant, Madeline can easily hold her own in a fight, whether or not she's armed. She is allowed to divide her pre-cardplay action score between two unarmed melee attacks, the last of which she may attempt as a contingent action (though she only need do this if her first attack doesn't knock a thug out).

Calling:

Youthful Exuberance: Madeline was a spry young lady even before she gained her super human capabilities. She pursues the super heroic life she's stumbled into with reckless abandon, smashing her way through the evil folks of the world with ecstatic joy, and she's gotten quite good at it in relatively short order - whether on or own or with other heroes.

Costume:

Madeline wears a patriotic costume into battle against evil. It consists of a red, long sleeved shirt with a red, white and blue shield design on the chest, a red skirt over red stretch fabric trousers, red boots, a blue belt, a blue cape, and a red cap with a small shield emblem on the front.

Personality:

Madeline is spunky and gung-ho, and embraced the role of a super heroine with aplomb. She enjoys righting wrongs, as this invariably involves mixing it up with the bad guys and roughing them up. Madeline apparently had a few skeletons in her closet, however, as well as some 'antiquated', politically incorrect views.

Story:

Long ago, young Madeline Joyce was touring her beloved uncle's electrical plant, situated in a converted lighthouse, when a bizarre accident occurred. During that fateful night, with an electrical storm raging outside, a nearby lightning strike caused a truly impressive power surge within the plant.

Madeline was exposed to the brunt of this surge, and though she was subjected to enough electrical current to 'kill a thousand men', Madeline survived, the overwhelming energy somehow jump starting latent mutant genes that simmered unsuspecting within her. Instead of dying, Madeline was instead reborn!

Finding her mind and body enhanced spectacularly, Madeline decided to make the best of her newfound abilities, and began to use them to fight crime as the one and only Miss America! Of course, as time passed many of Madeline's abilities faded, possibly as a result of her newly activated genes 'settling down'.

Either that or all that electricity had simply 'super charged' her for a time. Regardless, Madeline was left with one or two abilities to fight crime with, and she did solo until she ran afoul of the Whizzer, while both heroes were essentially after the same criminal. Despite themselves, they both won out in the end.

Before they could go their separate ways, however, Madeline and this Whizzer fellow heard a plea for help over the radio issued by the Patriot and Bucky, and made their way to answer the call. After forming up with several other loose cannon heroes, Madeline helped liberate the mighty Invaders from an insidious mind control scheme.

With this caper done, Madeline and her newfound friends decided to stick together as the mighty Liberty Legion, and foiled many sinister plots against America, either at home or abroad alongside their 'sister' team, the Invaders. In fact, the two teams worked very closely together, almost as one team in fact.

After the war, things didn't change for Madeline. She joined the oddly-named All-Winners Squad, a collection of former Invaders who felt the need to keep fighting evil, alongside the Whizzer, who she sort of fell in love with and (after finding out the feeling was mutual) eventually married in time.

When the All-Winners Squad eventually broke up, mostly because almost everyone else was either dead or missing, Madeline and the Whizzer took jobs as security agents in a new nuclear power plant. Of course their mere presence made the place a target for their old enemy Isbisa, who sabotaged the place.

Though they foiled his plot, Madeline and the Whizzer were heavily irradiated. This drastically affected her pregnancy, and caused Madeline to give birth to a highly radioactive mutant child. Of course, the government told her the infant had died, putting him in suspended animation (?) for everyone's protection.

Undeterred, Madeline continued her heroics for a while longer, eventually joining the newly-reformed V-Battalion, serving as members of its so-called Penance Council for a time. This didn't last forever, however, and after several years both she and the Whizzer decided to retire together, and go on a world tour.

When she went into a difficult birth on this tour, the couple wound up seeking assistance from the nearest available doctor, and one was found on Mount Wundagore in the strange nation of Transia. Bova, one of the High Evolutionary's 'new men' that was resident in the Mount, was unable to save the child, however.

Not to mention Madeline. Severely weakened by this ordeal, Madeline herself passed away shortly thereafter, though she didn't go to a 'better place' as one would hope. No, thanks to some unstated 'sin' she'd perpetrated in the past, Madeline found herself deposited in one of the various Hells for her transgression.

For an unknown period of time Madeline was forced to fight in the Arena of Tainted Souls, where she couldn't die (being already dead) but could be tormented with injury. Years passed, and other souls of note that were dropped in this pit included Mockingbird and Hellcat (both of the Avengers).

Madeline eventually got out of this predicament, however, and wound up falling in with a bad crew of lost souls, a gaggle of the dead led by the Pitiful One. This fellow was peeved that so many other super humans managed to come back from the dead, and that he was unable to manage such. In short, he wanted to live!

An easy motivation, this caused Madeline to fall in with him, as well as others such as Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, the Ancient One (!), and the Anarchist, the latter of which she seemed to form a strange relationship with over time, despite an initial 'misunderstanding' caused by some politically incorrect notions of hers.

Though she and this crew of shades wreaked havoc in the 'real world' in their quest to return to life, they were ultimately thwarted by Doctor Strange, Dead Girl, and the spirits of various dead heroes including Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Mockingbird, the Phantom Rider, Piano Man, and Moira MacTaggert of all people.

Of course, all was not lost, for it seemed that while their cohorts were seemingly irredeemable, both Madeline and her new friend, the Anarchist, were put on a path of redemption, and may yet find what they were looking for. So while dead for some time, Madeline may yet see life again some day!
