[edit] Fictional character biography
Delilah "Dee Dee" Dearborn was a student at Empire State University who gains superhuman powers from an accident with a gamma accelerator at the school. Doc Samson mistakes her for a murderer and they fight. She later helps him track and confront the real killer.
[edit] Initiative
Geiger is seen at the military base Camp Hammond, as an official recruit for the Initiative, which is a super-human military draft. She is introduced to Camp Hammond along with Ant-Man, Crusader, Melee, Geldoff, Dragon Lord, Red Nine, and Diamondback.[1]
She was one of the trainees that attacked KIA and were defeated.[2]
[edit] Powers and abilities
Due to a Gamma radition accident, Geiger has the ability to mimic the powers of any gamma-powered beings in her immediate vicinity, potentially making her as strong as the Hulk, as intelligent as the Leader, etc. However, she has little control over these powers, a downside exacerbated by the fact that she also takes on personality aspects of whoever she is mimicing as well.
