==Biography==
===Losing a Son===
Miriam Sharpe spent her career working for Human Resources at the United States Department of State while also raising her son, Charlie Spencer. Spencer decided that he would spend his summer before beginning work as a computer programmer going overseas to Sokovia to build houses for the underprivileged living there.
However, while he was there, Ultron had a long battle against the Avengers, during which Spencer was killed when a building was dropped on top of him. Sharpe was heartbroken, but turned her pain into great anger, aimed towards Tony Stark, whom she held responsible for her son's tragic death instead of Ultron.
===Confronting Tony Stark===
Sharpe tracked down Tony Stark as he was giving a speech at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology about his new invention called B.A.R.F.. Sharpe found Stark in the downstairs corridor waiting for his elevator and commented on his recent presentation. Now engaged in conversation with him, Sharpe reached into her purse and pulled out a photograph of her son, which Stark briefly mistook as her reaching for a weapon to attack him with. Sharpe explained that her son had been killed during the Battle of Sokovia, announcing that she held Stark responsible for his death, not Ultron. Sharpe declared that Stark only fought for himself while claiming to defend the people before storming into the elevator.
