Known Powers
The Inventress possesses an intuitive talent regarding all forms of machinery and technology. She can at a glance, see how a device works, how to take it apart, how to reassemble it and even how to improve it. Coupled with her natural genius, this makes her potential to be a real threat almost limitless. If she could be "redeemed" that same power could be used for many positive technological advancements.
Known Weaknesses
Without her battlesuit, Inventress is little more than an awkward teenager with lots of self-esteem issues. The armor provides a psychological crutch, allowing her to feel powerful and important. Without the armor she is also painfully shy and withdrawn, as a result she rarely takes the suit off, except under the most dire of conditions or when she needs to sleep.
Criminal Record
None as of yet, but sought for questioning in a number of "accidents" that occurred to various classmates (all female) prior to her vanishing from Paragon City. In each case the accident that befell the girl, was bizarre and resulted in the girl's permanent disfigurement.
Equipment
Inventress Mark I Power Combat Armor: This suit is powered by a small solar generator coupled with a cold fusion micro-reactor. The armor grants the wearer approximately 10x normal human strength, speed and agility, as well as the ability to stop up to a 20mm armor piercing cannon shell. It has a wide array of built in sensors which tie into the cybernetic induction helmet, which acts the main means of controlling the suit. The suit is fully sealed up to 200 atmospheres of pressure, and is both ocean and space worthy.
IX-11 Bio-Pulse Rifle: This weapon is Inventress' main form of attack and defense, it is a low radiation particle weapon focused to the spectrum of carbon atoms and designed specifically to harm living creatures. The variable frequency pulse "skips" out of space-time when it hit a yielding substance such as armor or a forcefield then "skips" back losing some energy in the process, but still delivering a large amount heat and energy damage to the target.
Battlebots: Inventress keeps a number of robotic minions at her beck and call at most times. These drones are equipped with slightly modified versions of her IX-11 Rifle and obey her every command to the best of their ability. Careful to avoid accidentally making them too intelligent or capable of full sentience, each one has a small explosive charge built into it's positronic cortex.
Personality
Outside of her battlesuit, Veronica is a very shy and timid creature, nearly afraid of her own shadow and flinching at the slightest hint of violence directed at her. She is quite content to avoid people and remain with her books, computers and laboratory inventing new gadgets, solving complex equations and reading any scientific texts she can get her hands on. Within the armor, she becomes very confident, cool, aloof and more than a bit paranoid. Anything she feels is a threat to her safety or perceived happiness is ruthlessly crushed by her or her robotic minions. She only steals when she needs money for equipment and upgrades, and never more than is needed, she considers herself a good person who the world has wronged, and is therefore justified in her actions toward others.
History
Veronica Vexx was a smart young girl who excelled in all scholarly pursuits, but was rather shy and timid when it came to social interaction. Furthermore she had braces for most of her teen life and wore thick glasses, all but stamping the word NERD on her forehead. Because of this she was teased constantly, mocked and bullied. During a science fair a group of mean spirited girls sabotaged Veronica's chemistry demonstration, causing it to explode, leeching all color from the girl's hair. This was the breaking point for Veronica, and she plotted revenge. One by one the girls who had been responsible met with horribly transfiguring accidents, leaving them scarred, bald, burned or worse. Eventually the train lead back to Veronica and she was forced to flee from the authorities. Ending up in the Rogue Isles, she got a job at Aeon University, and from there began acquiring materials and knowledge to make a battle suit. Within its confines she found the confidence she never had as Veronica Vexx, and began a crime spree, setting herself up as a villain for hire known as the Inventress.
