* Adult
* Fetus
* Insect

**Membrain** is a character who appears in the comic Hydro-Girl Returns and serves as the main antagonist, she is an extra-terrestrial being of unknown origin that was discovered in the Congolese rainforests of Central Africa.

She started off as an insect-like creature, but was then mutated into a highly dangerous humanoid with telekinetic powers.

She was created by theryanjake11.

## Appearance

At first, Membrain resembles a crab with biomechanical sections on the top of its body.

After being implemented with Vaness' own DNA and placed into an artificial womb-like device, Membrain develops into what resembles a human infant, before she reaches full adulthood, taking on the form of a voluptuous female.

Membrain has a metallic device implemented into her skull that stabilises her telekinetic abilities. She has multiple patterns and ridges all over her body, and possesses metal claws that sprout out of her knuckles. Her feet resemble a combination of stubs and high-heels.

## History

### Early Life

At some unknown point in time Membrain, in her insectoid form, crashed onto Earth in Central Africa where she remained hidden for an unspecified amount of time.

### *Slauter*

Membrain was discovered by Corvus at some point in Central Africa, where Vaness ordered a group of captives to dig for the creature. They eventually succeeded in doing so, and Vaness took Membrain back to her base of operations.

### *Hydro-Girl Returns*

After returning to base, Vaness had her soldiers create an artificial womb-like device and hooked Membrain up to its "umbilical cord". Vaness provided her own DNA into their discovery, causing Membrain to rapidly grow into a human infant in short time which shocked the Corvus soldiers.

As time passed, Membrain had grown rapidly in under a minute and traces of telekinetic energy, prompting Vaness to order them to begin the operation despite her soldiers' warnings that Membrain was not fully developed. A mechanical device is fitted into Membrain's cranium in place of the brain, allowing Corvus to control the telekinetic abilities.

Suddenly, Membrain clenched her fist and released a surge of telekinetic energy which caused a nearby soldier's head to explode into a bloody mess.

Membrain then travelled to a nearby airport, where it began attacking and killing innocent civilians. This caught the attention of Eileen Howells who transformed into Hydro-Girl and travelled to the area to stop Membrain. Hydro-Girl eventually confronted Membrain and tried to strike, Membrain dodged the attack and swiftly kicked Hydro-Girl away.

Using her telekinetic powers, Membrain lifted a truck over her head and threw it down at Hydro-Girl who managed to lift it off of her. Membrain then spotted a plane that had taken off, she used her powers to stop the plane mid-flight and forced it downwards. Hydro-Girl took notice and managed to catch the plane by its nose.

With Hydro-Girl distracted, Membrain developed claws from her knuckles and proceeded to stab Hydro-Girl in her sides. In pain, Hydro-Girl channelled her inner energy and expelled it from her mouth which sent Membrain flying. Hydro-Girl then safely placed the plane on the ground.

Membrain returned to Corvus HQ and was placed inside of a container to recharge her energy, where Vaness confronted her about failing to kill Hydro-Girl. Membrain's main concern was with the energy charge but Vaness angrily disrupted it by deactivating the container.

Vaness smacks Membrain and then proceeds to angrily berate her for her failure, causing Membrain to see Vaness as a threat and push her away with immense telekinetic force. Using her power, Membrain angrily destroyed everything around her. Membrain then began to become self-aware and detect a new threat, humans.

With her new objective deeply engrained into her mind, Membrain took to the streets and proceeded to attack the nearby humans and causing destruction wherever she went. At one point she turned over Eileen's boyfriend Darren's car with his aunt inside, Eileen transformed into Hydro-Girl and leapt into battle against Membrain for a final showdown. Membrain desperately utilised her deadly claws and telekinetic powers to keep Hydro-Girl at bay, but she was eventually subdued by the Aqua-Iravian and defeated.

Membrain attempts to convince Hydro-Girl that they are both superior to humans and that ruined her, Hydro-Girl sympathises with Membrain but also berates her for generalising all of humanity. Regretful of her actions, this causes Membrain to have a revelation of what she must do and she uses her telekinetic powers to cause a nearby lamppost to collapse onto herself, ending Membrain's life instantly.

## Personality

When she was first activated by Corvus, Membrain acted as a very obedient drone that would carry out her mission with no protest and would reiterate her own orders to herself out loud.

After Vaness interrupted Membrain's recharging process and abused her physically, Membrain became violent and decided that the true threat was humans which in turn caused her to go on a murderous rampage. After being defeated by Hydro-Girl, Membrain showed great regret for her actions and decided that ending her own existence was the only solution.
