Ionic Woman is a Level 50 Radiation/Energy Manipulation blaster. The origin of her powers would be qualified as a scientific accident, as she had no meta-powers prior to 2009. Her abilities center entirely around her capacity to channel and expel ionizing radiation. She is able to control the intensity of the radiation for the most part, though initially she required multiple drugs to do so. Born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ionic moved to Paragon City to pursue her career as a hero in early 2010. She's also enrolled at Paragon University and is majoring in physics and astronomy.
- Ionic's full name is Sydney Ann Garrison, and her date of birth is March 29, 1989. She's the youngest of three children and is generally very close with her family. Her father was killed when she was nine years old, but his eight brothers were more than happy to step in to help raise their three nieces.
- She's 5'6" tall and weighs about 135 pounds.
- She was rather uncoordinated and shy growing up, but she transitioned into a much more confident, happy young woman during high school.
- If she could meet anyone in the world, it would be Neil deGrasse Tyson.
- Newspapers around New Mexico gave minimal coverage to the lab explosion that exposed Sydney to radiation. No national news organizations reported on the incident at all. Why this potentially major story got so little attention in the media isn't clear.
