[edit] Character background

Following the assassination of Captain Dynamo, the much-beloved superhero protector of Tower City, his widow, former government agent posing as a now-retired investigative reporter Maddie Warner, discovered from his personal effects that he had been unfaithful to her countless times. Despite her devastation at this discovery, Warner realized that without a full-time protector, Tower City would be vulnerable to Captain Dynamo’s legion of super-villain enemies. She used her and the information she discovered skills to track down five people who could be Dynamo’s illegitimate children.

Bridget Flynn, an NYU Film School graduate working at a Hollywood, California movie theater, was the fourth of the five children contacted by Warner. Gathering all five of the children together, Warner exposed them to the same unidentified radiation that gave Captain Dynamo his powers forty years earlier, unlocking their powers. Bridget inherited her father’s super strength. Donning a costume with the same color design as her father’s, Bridget took the codename Scrap, and works to protect Tower City with her newly discovered brothers and sisters, whom she is still getting to know.

[edit] Powers

Scrap has superhuman strength. The upper limit of this strength is unknown, but she has been observed lifting a tank over her head, and throwing it the length of a city block. ^[1] The exact physiological nature of this strength is unknown, but it would appear that it also affords her a certain level of invulnerability as well, as she has also been seen destroying large powered armor suits by kicking them, without sustaining any injury.
