The character Dr. Bernadette Washington Chisholm was inspired by the song "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen.
She is observant to a fault, micro-analyzing everyone and everything that crosses her path. Her office, while deceptively tidy, contains many hidden volumes of knowledge and facts she has collected over the years. She currently has 2 toons that play as her personality [(Mistress Professor) and (Mistress Professor.)]. They are to be considered the same person, MP with Bee using an assault rifle and devices as a blaster, and MP. with Bee wearing a powersuit, transforming her into a tank.

Biography
Bernadette Washington was born in Boston on 12 August of 1978 to Mr. & Mrs. Walter Maurice Washington IV. Her older brother, Walter "Andrew" Washington V, was her confidant, her protector, her best friend. Andrew was also 6 years older. One evening when Bernadette was 10 years old, Andrew never came home from school. He had recently obtained his driver's license and his car was missing. Despite a massive search (only the best money could buy), neither Andrew or his car were ever found.
Suddenly, Bernadette became the only child in the family. While she had always had an above average intelligence, she had attended the usual private academies and boarding schools. After Andrew's disappearance, her parents became terrified for her well-being. She was immediately removed from her dorm and listed as "home-schooled". Private tutors were flown in from all over the world. When Bee starting showing greater interest in math and science, her parents made sure she interned with top scientists from around the globe.
Bee (her brother's nickname for her as a tot) had always had simple tastes, with a natural beauty that required little primping. At most she spent money when her mother absolutely insisted. But being confined to the estate unless escorted by her bodyguards brought out a rebellious streak a million dollars wide. As their only remaining child, money was no option and lavish trips to exotic destinations were a weekly luxury for the teen and her entire entourage. Classes about art and physics in Italy; food and dance in France and Greece.
When she finally settled down, the guest house became Bee's personal laboratory. By 17, Bee had won a scholarship to Yale. She also had secured 3 patents for improvements to the popular "targeting drones" that had premiered earlier that year. She raced through her Bachelor's and Master's degrees and started on her Doctorate studies at 22.
A Turning Point
Graduating in 2001, she took a job at MIT but her time there was short. Roger Stevens, a student with a grudge against the university, decided to make his displeasure known. He had been expelled for plagerisim, and held Bee, as well as his other teachers, personally responsible for his downfall. On March 23rd, 2002, Stevens opened fire in a crowded public event, killing three and injuring dozens. Students and teachers fled in all directions and took cover in many nearby buildings. Bee barricaded herself and a number of students in a vacant classroom, locking themselves in, but to no avail. Moments later, the gunman forced his way into the space with a janitor's master key set. In an effort to induce additional fear and panic, Stevens shot Bee multiple times in each arm and leg, pressing the rifle to her skin before firing each time. Any student who tried to intervene was also shot, with one dying in Bee's arms. Just as Stevens was raising his rifle to kill Bee outright, a sniper shot ended his life.
The Long Road to Recovery
Clinging to life, Bee received gallons of blood transfusions as doctors were forced to amputate both of her arms above the elbow and her left leg at the hip. She slipping into a coma and was held in intensive care for 12 weeks. With the assistance of her parents, news of her recovery was kept from the media and her name was scrubbed from all press releases in an attempt to protect her treasured privacy. Students of the university, however, knew the condition she was in and rallied around her family, giving them hope.
When Bee finally awoke, she had missed the funerals for her students and colleagues and was stricken with grief. Her resolve hardened, and using money from her own small fortune, Bee got to work. Working very closely with her students, she began to design prosthetic limbs. A dear friend and intern at the Lucas Ranch coated the arms in a protective encasement that simulates real flesh in look and feel, yet with the durability and flexibility of Kevlar. Eight months later, Bee took her first steps into her new life, a hardened vigilante with an axe to grind.
It began simple enough...
She woke up late from a long night of grading papers and headed into town. Slipping past her bodyguards had been too simple and yet she was pleased for their distraction. Following the back-woods roads was soothing to the soul. She stopped at a local gas station to refill her tank and decided to pop into the convenience store for an energy drink. Stepping through the door, the bell on the frame rang her arrival. Suddenly, all eyes were on her, and her brain was reeling. Two men stood at the counter. The man in front of the counter held his canvas sack open, his ski mask a bright neon orange, and his eyes wide with a mix of sleep deprivation and chemical stimulants. The man behind the counter removing the money from the register had his hand halfway in the canvas sack. The man had a dull blue ski mask pushed to the top of his head, and the look of horror crossed his eyes as he realized they were no longer alone. His firearm had been momentarily forgotten in the bottom of the sack. Events unfolded in a matter of seconds.
The Taser at her side fired and hit the 1st man in the back, sending to the floor in a crumpled heap. The 2nd man was somewhat quicker, but had to find his gun first. As Bee reached the front of the counter, the man wildly fired his gun through the canvas sack, striking her in the left arm and right chest. Bee's right arm shot forward, grabbing the man by his neck and dragging his struggling form over the counter, knocking display products everywhere. Bee slammed his head into the overhead cigarette storage, rendering him unconscious, then tossed him on top of his friend. Rooting through the store shelves, she helped herself to a roll of duct tape and hog-tied the two villains. It was only when she stepped around the counter that she saw the female store clerk, clinging to life with a gunshot wound, and her two-month old daughter in a car seat, sleeping peacefully. Bee called the police, and within moments the store was secured and the woman and her daughter escorted to the hospital, but Bee was long gone. Stopping at a few stores on the way home, she changed her clothes and then snuck back onto the property.
When Bee was finally well enough to return to light duty at the university, she quickly applied for a government grant to help fund her research in cybernetic weapons. When she wasn't designing and assembling prototypes, Bee would patrol the streets, looking for trouble. Realizing they couldn't stop her, her parents moved to their estate in Fort Lauderdale, FL, leaving Bee the house. Repurposing her bodyguards as her personal backup and accomplices, Bee would intervene in a crime, then hop in the passenger seat and drive away to safety. News stories began popping up on occasion about the mysterious woman who fought crime without a mask, and with an unusual resistance to bullets, but since the inception of Paragon City, many heroes and villains had drifted through town on their way to bigger and better things. Often the stories of her heroics were dismissed as just another wanna-be.
Bee landed a big contract with the United States Armed Forces for some of her innovations. In an effort to test her products more efficiently, Bee moved to Paragon.
((THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!))
Personality
Don't confuse her silence with distraction. The good Professor is fiery, but chooses when to unleash her passion carefully. Push her buttons and you may find yourself on the wrong end of her rifle. She has been simultaneously described as a self-righteous hero in the Isles and a border-line villain in the City. Love her or hate her, she does not mince words and is occasionally misunderstood for her shortness as being crisp. Often her abbreviation is merely an effort in being as verbally productive as possible.
She is loyal to a fault, both to her devoted husband and to her friends. Most importantly, she wishes to help as many people as possible. She is more than willing to sacrifice her life if it means saving others.
