==Publication history==
==Characterization==
Makayla is Jenny's second-in-command, girlfriend, and confidant, and often her main anchor to sanity. She is the most well-adjusted member, but still has episodes of depravity, especially if Jenny is missing or captured, in which case she is an unstoppable force of nature who leaves nothing but death and destruction in her wake, and will not stop until Jenny is found and rescued. 
Her area of interest is animals, specifically rabbits, goats, and as of more recently, numerous insects and other arthropods seen as "beneficial", particularly North American native bees; Jenny and Makayla both also like trains, and take great pains to not destroy trains, but simply stop them by getting into the cab (usually using Makayla's jetpack). She tends to slip Spanish words in her sentences.

==Abilities==
Makayla's specialty is infiltration, which she achieves using a variety of gadgets and gizmos such as a grappling gun, a laser cutter, and a watch that renders her invisible. She also has a fusion-powered jetpack to access hard-to-reach places and has enough thrust to allow Makayla to carry Jenny, which proves useful for missions where it's just the two of them, as the jetpack can fly at speeds approaching Mach 3; it's also the only thing that can calm Jenny during her acrophobia episodes; said jetpack also has a built-in air shield, allowing them to fly in the upper atmosphere and also deflecting bullets or debris and allowing flight at high speeds without risk of the airstream causing injury, which is how Jenny and Makayla can fly far afield from Bergman Manor without an aircraft.
