Shimmer

History:

Mitsuko Sukezane was a coma patient who was abducted by Dr. Krayniac. Her initial injuries were the result of Baron Ogel’s first assault on New Blok City. She was missing and presumed dead when Dr. Krayniac had retrieved her from the rubble. His intentions were to use an experimental process which would transfer Mitsuko’s mind into a machine. Being already in a coma, she was a perfect candidate for testing. He planned to use this method so that he could transfer his own mind into the cyber world, thus prolonging his life. Kid Komet discovered the testing site by accident while pursuing Mr. Blight after an encounter. He called for backup when Dr. Krayniac’s defense systems attacked. The ensuing battle which included Lazer Hawk and Patriot X caused an energy surge which destroyed the machine that Mitsuko was connected to. The girl remained in a coma but an amazing event took place. Her mind was able to project itself into a digital/energy form that resembled a hologram. In this from she can increase the density of her body to become solid or reduce the density to become transparent. While in a low density Mitsuko is invulnerable to physical and kinetic attacks as well as aging effects, disease, gases, light, and poisons; and can float and phase through walls. This reduces her strength but increases her agility. With a high density, Mitsuko becomes a solid body that gives her improved strength while reducing her agility. Her abilities also allow her to connect with computers and transfer her being into the cyber world, making the experiment somewhat of a success. The team took the comatose body of Mitsuko back to their base in attempts to help her. Lazer Hawk dubbed her “Shimmer”, making her a new member of the team and the name stuck. Since then, Mitsuko has woken from her coma but remains weak and confined to a wheelchair with no memory of her past other than her name. The progress to heal her body has been slow. In the meantime, she has been learning to develop and control her powers. The process has been trying at times even though she enjoys the physical freedom of her digital body. Shimmer is a powerful ally and if focused can be nearly unstoppable. Her mental state however has encountered some setbacks. Her struggle to come to terms with her life’s changes has made it difficult for her to adjust. She at times feels disconnected to humanity and seems robotic. She has even doubted her own existence of whether she is a human or a robot with advanced AI. Regardless of her feelings about herself, she is a willing member of the team in its quest to protect New Blok City.
