Madelyn Spaulding

## Background

### 2001 - 2016: Madelyn Spaulding

Madelyn was born to Elliot & Maxine Spaulding in the impoverished city of Dakota City. The two were in a loveless marriage but Elliot wanted a beautiful wife & Maxine wanted a rich husband. When she was eleven, she lost her father in a plane crash while he was handling business outside the state. Madelyn was then stuck with her mother, a woman who had spent most of her marriage as a housewife. Now forced to get a job, things changed in the Spaulding household.

Her mother got a job at a small law firm in the city but spent most of her time going on dates with wealthy men so that she could keep up with her former lifestyle. One of the men seemed to really sweep her mom off her feet as she married the man less than two years after Madelyn's father passed. He showered her with gifts & did the same with Madelyn. It was almost as if he cared for her more than her mother did.

Seeing she was a bright student, her stepfather nurtured her intelligence. In school, Madelyn was considered not only to be a very smart student but an active one too. Though there was a downside as years of parents' emotional neglect & materialistic ideologies led to her becoming an arrogant control freak.

### 2016 - Present: Command

One night after school, Madelyne took herself to the docks so that she could interview some of the homeless people for an extra credit essay on the poverty in their city. That same night, an all out gang war was taking place not too far from where Madelyn was. When the police arrived to deescalate the situation, they released a gas that actually Quantum Vapor. Majority of the exposed people died immediately but the to the public, they were killed in a shootout.

She didn't realize it at first but Madelyn was affected by the vapor, making herself one of the Bang Babies. She had gained the ability to read & control people's minds. She decided to use this to her advantage. At first, she decided to fix her home life by telling her mother to pay more attention to her but that wasn't enough. She wanted to control it all. When she went out for class president, she was up against Joey Bombora & Richie Foley, both of whom were was much more liked & respected by their peers than her. She used her powers to control the minds of her classmates & even get Joey to drop out of the race & support her.

Eventually Static intervened & she found out his electric powers blocked hers. When the two finally came against each other, she was quickly defeated. A lightning blast to her brain knocked her unconscious & she was taken to the infirmary at the local hospital. In the hospital, doctors examined her & noted that her powers seemed to be gone. She was released but was not allowed to attend school & instead began working at a comic store. Months has passed before Madelyn realize her powers were not gone but the electrocution by Static had augmented them, granting her limited telekinesis. She swore revenge against Static as soon as she discovered this.

After creating a costume for herself, Madelyn freed the Meta-Breed from prison. They were a local gang of Bang Babies & she took over control of them. They wreaked havoc at City Hall, but soon Static showed up, with help from Gear & She-Bang. Madelyn & the Breed after one of their members was accidentally injured. But in the commotion, Madelyn single-handedly caught She-Bang & brought her to their hideout.

Static & Gear soon showed up & freed She-Bang. Madelyn figured this would be the perfect time for a rematch with Static. Hovering in the sky & deflecting all of his attacks, she boasted invulnerability. But Static laid a positive charge on the junk near Madelyn, putting her right on the path of a negatively charged lightning bolt from the sky. She was incapacitated & taken into police custody.
