## Life Story

Once upon a time, Thomas Montgomery's life consisted of getting eight hours sleep, reporting to work at the Darkness Falls Observatory, and taking his lunch break around two A.M. It was his custom during this half hour period to light a cigarette, cast his gaze skyward, and give deep thought to the as yet undiscovered interplanetary species roaming the space ways. It was a time when extraterrestrial life was unquestioned. Earth-One was frequently host to Malvans, Chieropterans, Heruclons, and many others. on this night in particular Dr. Montogomery's life would change forever, both professionally and romantically.

The sky above him was ablaze with light, a trio of white spotlights arcing downward to catch him in it's beams. The lights were coming from a craft only slightly bigger than a military fighter-jet, which was settling soundlessly but a mere hundred yards from him. The cockpit doors opened with the hiss like many snakes and the doctor found himself being introduced to the Nye, a relatively young space-faring race of apoplectic beauty with odd, compelling dark blue-on-light blue eyes. Her name was Nahoi and like him she was a scientist, an anthropologist sent as an ambassador of good-will from the plant Poss.

Fast forward thirteen years. Thomas and Nahoi are married now, and having a great deal of trouble with their irritable, strong-willed only daughter Rachel. The situation is exacerbated by Rachel's sudden onset of meta-abilities which only adds to the level and intensity of the household screaming matches, tears, and rampant drug use. Reaching their breaking point the Montgomerys forcibly incarcerated Rachel in the Bellreave Meta-human Research Institute; hoping the mental health facility would reach Rachel where they could not. None of the three realized it would be the last time they ever saw each other. Inside of Bellreave Rachel was quick to fall in with the 'wrong crowd' and became one of the six founding members of the B-Girls along with with Bitter-Pill, Bully, Brat, Byte, and Bubblegum.

Rachel found that she enjoyed being a career criminal. She found the idea of hurting people woefully distasteful but took a great enjoyment in smash and grab robberies, robbing banks, and living the high life. She holds the distinction of being the only B-Girl to never have been arrested for any of her crimes. As Bobsled, she served as a B-Girl for ten years before the Day of the Destroyer, and opted to make good use of her Presidential pardon when it was offered. She has since found that she enjoys hero work just as much.

## Powers and Abilities

Bobsled is the product of a union between a human father and an extraterrestrial mother, which has endowed her with the ability to psionically control the moisture content of the air around herself, A decade of using her powers on a near-daily basis has allowed her to use this talent to develop the following power feats:

Chillbane: She is able to encase up to four enemies at once in ice to the hip, rendering them unable to move. Theoretically she would be able to encase a foe in ice completely but refuses to do this, as such a tactic would prevent the target from getting air and would likely turn fatal very quickly.
Ice barrage: She is able to fire small solid balls and cubes of ice at a foe. Minimal damage, but a very good distraction technique.
Ice bolt: A harder hitting, solid slug of ice that can knock a foe down and inflict moderate damage.
Blizzard: She can blanket a 100 foot radius with a heavy storm of ice, snow, and freezing winds which impairs movement, sight, and is great at fighting fires.
Ice slick: With this power feat Bobsled is able to coat the ground with a thin, very slippery coatig of ice that makes it virtually impossible for her foes to stay standing.
Frozen Fists: By coating her hands and forearms with solid ice, Bobsled can slug a foe with the same force as if she had struck them with a lead pipe.
Ice Sword: She can form a 'blade' or pair of blades in each hand which can inflict lethal slashing damage.
Frigid Bounce: Bobsled can 'bank' her bolts and blasts off of solid surfaces in order to strike foes hiding behind cover or around corners.
Ice Shield: Bobsled can form a round or kite-shaped shield of solid ice that can repel small arms fire or deflect energy attacks back at her attackers.

In addition to the above abilities, Bobsled is impervious to extremes of cold. She has described standing in twenty degree below zero weather in thin shorts and a tank-top as 'comfortable.' Cold and ice attacks, however, still inflict regular damage on her owing to system shock.
