[edit] Fictional character biography

Poundcakes was a professional wrestler that was chosen by executives at the Roxxon Oil Company to join the Grapplers, a group of super-powered females that were sent on illegal errands. She was given special boots that allowed her to create tremors and small earthquakes by stomping her feet, along with super strength and endurance. She was very willing to commit illegal acts, having been imprisoned before for extortion, where she met Screaming Mimi. She also served briefly with Superia's Femizons. During her career as a villain, she's battled Captain America, The Thing, and Dazzler, to name a few. Poundcakes now works as a solo villain, after the deaths of teammates Letha and Titania. It is possible that she is a lesbian, as she nearly killed Jackhammer for flirting with her, though they were eventually both taken out by Anaconda for disturbing Diamondback's date with Captain America.
