## Background Narrative

### Bobbi Morse: 1971 - 1989

Barbara "Bobbi" Morse is the youngest of the twin children born to San Diego professor, Susan Morse. Neither Bobbi nor her brother Benny had any idea about their father's identity as their mother was an independent woman who had little desire to bring a man into her home and was fully dedicated to raising her children on her own. At least, that's what Bobbi grew up believing.

The truth is a bit more complicated. You see, before she took a job teaching at the University of California San Diego, Susan Morse worked for the SSD as part of one of the first attempts to replicate the success of ES3 (Erskine's Super Soldier Serum). Specifically, Morse's work was focused on testing whether the progeny of successful Super Soldiers would inherit their parent's abilities. Not only did Morse study this process, but she also became a test subject herself through a process we now have termed in vitro Fertilization (IVF) — which was only a theoretical science at the time. Bobbi and Barry were the fruits of her labor, however rather than raise the children in a lab, Susan Morse settled in San Diego to give her children an idyllic childhood with an emphasis on academics and ethical behavior, due to Morse's belief in Erskine's own theories that ES3 somehow tapped into the inner spirit of its subjects.

So, raised by a single mother in a home putting an emphasis on academics and the arts to cultivate a well-adjusted child, it's little wonder that Bobbi did so well at... well, everything. Bobbi was always among the best students in every class she took. She was involved in a dozen extracurricular activities including violin, chess, debate, singing, drill team, ballet, swimming, soccer, and tae kwon do.

On the surface, Bobbi looked like the perfect child — much to the frustration of her genius brother who somehow came away looking like an idiot child in comparison. However, Bobbi was too smart for her own good. She knew her mother was keeping something from her, so just had to dig, Realizing there was more to the identity of her father that Sarah Morse wasn't sharing, Bobbi turned her interest to biology.

At sixteen, Bobbi began studying at the Georgia Institute of Technology on a fully paid scholarship. Once Bobbi had full access to the facilities of the university at her disposal, it did not take her long to get a sense of her mother's secret. Bobbi did not take the revelation well. Though she still lacked the full truth of the matter, Bobbi deduced that her genetics were not entirely natural. All the pride she had built up from her many accomplishments turned sour.

Professors at Bobbi's school were quickly to inform Professor Morse of her daughter's sudden depression, prompting her to visit Bobbi at school. What followed was a nasty confrontation in Bobbi's dorm room when Professor Morse discovered her underage daughter sitting in the center of a mess of pizza boxes and empty beer cans. But through this scuffle, a deal was struck. If Bobbi was able to salvage her academic record, Susan would tell her all she knew about her father.

Of course, Bobbi was able to bounce back. She was able to finish her plans to earn her doctorate by her eighteenth birthday, though Bobbi felt little joy at fulfilling this due to her sense of having being given an unfair edge. Still, after a quick summer spent abroad on a tour of Europe with her college friends, Bobbi returned to San Diego to insist her mother spill the beans.

But with Bobbi's return home, she was met by not only her mother, but also yours truly. I had come to San Diego to deliver Bobbi the classified SSD files on her father. However, to allow Bobbi to read it, I needed to invoke the clause in Susan Morse's contract with the SSD — meaning that I was obligated to recruit Bobbi. At this point, I was already losing faith in the Sentinel Services, so I was saddened by Bobbi's eager signing of a Sentinel Services contract to gain access to her father's SSD file.

### Bobbi Morse: 1989 - 1992

After six months of intensive training and being subjected to SSD tests meant to study her limits and determine whether she could be officially classified as a Super Soldier, Bobbi was recruited to the Weapon H program by Thaddeus Ross who had effectively been given carte blanche to capture or kill the fugitive Bruce Banner and his alter-ego, the Hulk.

In Weapon H tradition, the agents assigned to the program took on codenames beginning with H. Bobbi's first codename was Huntress, but she later was forced to change the name to avoid confusion as the Weapon H Sentinels became known as Hunters, so Bobbi took on the name Hestia. When Clint Barton returned from his medical leave, Bobbi was tasked to getting him back up to speed.

## Shield Analysis

### Special Value: 8

* **Super Soldier:** Morse is a product of the SSD's old Infinity program, meant to help create a new generation of Super Soldiers. Morse's abilities and heritage falls under a legal gray area. Morse could be considered an aberration (or mutant) but due to some in vitro genetic tampering, she is presently classified as an "authorized augment" under American law until the expiration of the "Super-Soldier Act in November 1996.
	+ ***Augmented Agility:*** Morse has off-the-charts eye-to-hand coordination and spatial awareness in relation to her own body. This allows Morse to maneuver through her environment with obscene levels of ease and grace
	+ ***Augmented Durability:*** Morse can shrug off injuries that would be fatal to most.
	+ ***Augmented Healing:*** Morse's rate of recovery and efficiency is enhanced. The white blood cells in her body are efficient enough to fight off most microbes, foreign bodies, and other pathogens from her body, giving her a high resistance to infection and disease. Morse can drink just about anyone under the table as her tolerance for alcohol is nearly four times greater than her body weight would suggest.
	+ ***Augmented Reflexes:*** Morse's reflexes were increased by a factor of ten.
	+ ***Augmented Senses:*** All of Morse's senses have been increased considerably.
	+ ***Augmented Speed:*** Morse can move at a sustained 30 mph (48 kph), but can nearly double that in short sprints.
	+ ***Augmented Stamina:*** Morse's body eliminates the build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in her muscles at a heightened rate; giving her exceptional endurance.
	+ ***Augmented Strength:*** Morse can routinely lift 600 lbs (272 kg) and bench press 900 lbs (408 kg) as a warm-up. She has enough physical strength to put dents in steel with a barefisted punch. One of Iron Man's armors still bears the dent.
	+ ***Psionic Potential:*** Morse has remarkable insight and intuition. It is possible that she is slowly developing some psychic abilities.

### Heuristics Value: 5

* **Martial Artist**: Morse is skilled in several forms of hand-to-hand combat, including tae kwon do.

### Intellectual Value: 6

* **Genius:** Bobbi is a certified genius with a whole list of accomplishments under her belt. She is further blessed with an eidetic memory.

### Expertise Value: 4

* **Academics:** Morse is an expert in nearly all fields of academia. Impressively, if you give her a few hours to prep, she can pass herself off as a world-class expert in the subject enough to fool other world-class experts.
* **Arts:** Morse is a skilled painter, violinist, dancer, and singer.
* **Biology:** Morse has a doctorate in biology, which is a surprise to most people who only know her as an SSD or Shield operative.

### Logistics Value: 4

* **Linguistics:** Morse speaks fluent English, Spanish, French, German, and Russian.
* **Vehicle Operation:** Morse is able to operate just about any vehicle she gets her hands on the controls of. She is an even a certified pilot for two of Shield's experimental aircraft.

### Director's Value: 5

* **Mockingbird:** "The Mockingbird gets its name from the ability to mimic the songs of other birds. Similarly, Bobbi is able to quickly develop just about any skillset you need for an upcoming mission. She is a jill-of-all-trades. I was hesitant to bring her on to the Avengers as she was just so damn useful as a Shield agent. However, some others don't trust Bobbi as much as I do... Personally, I think they're just jealous."
