Explanation of the conversion:
History: One night during the early 1940's, Madeline Joyce, niece of a
millionaire who was financing unknown electrical experiments in a converted
lighthouse on the Eastern coast, visited that lighthouse in the middle of a
large, violent thunderstorm. While inside, she was caught in an electrical
discharge form the equipment that was caused by the outside storm. Instead
of being instantly killed, Joyce miraculously survived the charge, but lay in a
coma for a week afterwards. She recovered and found out that the jolt of
electricity had somehow released her latent mutant ability to negate gravity
and thereby fly as well as somehow increasing her physical vitality.
She decided to join the home front effort of WWII and fight for liberty and
justice. She put together a costume and dubbed herself Miss America. Miss
America had gained limited fame in the United States as a spy-smasher when
she met fellow hero Robert Frank, the Whizzer, while battling a Nazi spy
ring that had hijacked a railroad in New York. They were working together on that
case when Captain America's sidekick Bucky Barnes called on them to join the
Liberty Legion and help the Invaders out of a tough situation. They became
members of the Liberty Legion and the Invaders and, after the war, joined
the All-Winners Squad.
After the All-Winners Squad disbanded, Madeline
and Robert quit their costumed adventuring
careers and were married. In 1949, they began
working for the United States government
as non-costumed super-powered guards at a
secret nuclear facility in Manhattan. While
working there, Isbisa, an enemy of the All-Winners
Squad, staged a nuclear accident that exposed
the Franks to dangerously high levels of
radiation. Isbisa's heinous crime did not
kill Madeline or Robert Frank, but she was
pregnant at the time of the exposure. Consequently,
she gave birth to a radioactive mutant son
who was dangerous enough that the U.S. government
took custody of him and placed him in a chrono-module
to contain the radiation. Many years later,
he would emerge from the module and be known
as Nuklo.
With the large government pension, the Franks
decided to travel the world. Madeline became
pregnant during this worldwide journey and
when the baby was ready to be born, they
were in the tiny Balkan country of Transia.
Acting on the advise of the villagers, the
Franks went to the scientific citadel on
Wundagore Mountain, belonging to the criminal
scientist known as the High Evolutionary.
Bova, a cow evolved into humanoid form, acted
as midwife to the birth but the child was
stillborn, more deformed and radioactive
than the first child. Joyce, weakened by
her exposure to radiation, didn't survive
more than 2 hours after the birth. In grief,
Robert Frank raced from the mountain. Bova
buried the body of Madeline Joyce Frank at
the base of Wundagore Mountain in a unmarked
grave.
Trivia: Madeline is the mother of the hero Nuklo, a member of the secret hero group called the V Battalion.
Powers: Flight, x-ray vision, the "strength of a thousand men," and the "wisdom of the ages." Madeline has the ability to psionically negate the effect of gravity around her persons allowing herself to float into the air. In coordination with planned jumps, she could simulate the power of flight.
