As a Graduate Student Cathy Webster participated in an unsanctioned psychology experiment involving subliminal recordings. She was subliminally programmed to hate all men, and her body was subjected to mutagenic radiation that enhanced her body to peak human conditioning similar to Captain America. Cathy eventually overcame her brainwashing and discovered the woman in charge of the experiment, a criminal scientist named Superia. She also crossed paths with Baron Zemo and Diamondback.
