Ironwoman

**Heather Faith** was a Human hero and fallen member of the J.L.A.D.F. She was known as the superheroine **Ironwoman**.

## **Origins**

Heather was a gifted scientist in the fields of robotics and metallurgy. Her extraordinary intellect landed her a job working for S.T.A.R Labs advanced research division located in Metropolis' Tomorrow District. She found herself enjoying her job greatly and was always up to the challenges presented to her. Through her years working for S.T.A.R Labs, her work got the attention of major conglomerates such as LexCorp and Wayne Enterprises, who were willing to offer her a chance to work for them. Despite their generous offers however, Heather decided to remain at S.T.A.R Labs and continue her work.

Later on however, she was approached by Lucius Fox who offered her a position at Wayne Enterprises' division of Waynetech's state-of-the-art R&D department. He explained that this department was exclusive and strictly confidential. Lucius offered her a position in terms of personnel protective equipment, non-lethal deterrents, artificial intelligence and advanced propulsion. Despite the rare honor and visit from Lucius, Heather told him she would have to think over the position before doing anything. Understanding her consideration of the job, she called him on his phone before he even left the building, accepting the job.

She moved to Gotham and adapted rather quickly to her new job and friends. Despite the paranoid form of security, Janice, it was for good reason. As for the technology, Heather found it make the stuff at S.T.A.R Labs look like it was working with old fashioned computers. She didn't have really much knowledge of the project she was working on, nor did she work on the entire project. She began with propulsion, then soon after got into life support and environmental systems. Following that, came repulsor tech, carbon nanotubes, superconductors, etc. She found she wasn't as happy as she was prior to working at S.T.A.R Labs and requested to create something with the newest and most experimental technologies, always being denied. Despite this, Heather took action and made a suit on her own, which took 3 years to complete and accommodated her size. She also managed to improve upon the designs of the armor, but didn't reveal it until Brainiac had made his appearance on Earth. Once he appeared in the skies over Gotham, she suited up and gave it's first field test against the alien's minions.

In it's first field test however, the suit exhibited it's fair share of flaws which hampered it's performance significantly. Despite this, the suit had saved her life in the conflict and while she didn't per se save the day, she did get the attention of Batman. In the days following the battle, Lucius insisted on meeting up with her and once she did, they rode out to a secluded part of Gotham where she met up with Batman. Impressed with her courage and skills, the Caped Crusader offered to aid her in improving her armor as well as training her to properly handle Brainiac's goons. She asked for time to think it over and Batman agreed to this, but before he disappeared, she agreed to his offer. Since her introduction as a superhero, Heather became a member of newly formed J.L.A.D.F where she found her skills perfectly matched with that of Dark Knight's and those of Superwoman
