Who is Copycat?

Origin DV8 Gem Antonelli, a native of Los Angeles, was part of a series of experiments carried out by the group called INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS under the control of the director of the Department of Science and Technology-- Ivana Baiul . As Lynch broke into I.O. security to rescue a group of youngsters from her experiments, Ivana was forced to escape and moved her base to Isla Caballito to continue with her experiments on the frozen specimens she managed to carry with her. One of those GEN-ACTIVE kids frozen in liquid nitrogen, was Gem herself. Gem is a neuro-dominator, able to temporarily control the bodies of others. After passing hard training she earned a place in DV8 , Ivana's group of super-powered operatives. However, due to her weak stomach, she almost got eliminated (literally), but somehow got chosen by Threshold, Ivana's right hand, to be part of his team. Unlike her DV8 partners, Gem didn't take her activities so seriously and constantly fooled around.
