Who is Heather McNeil Hudson?

Origin Heather was born into a large family in Calgary, Alberta. She has several siblings of whom she is the oldest. Her path in life was not at all geared towards heroics and had it not been for her employment at the AmCam corporation she likely would have lived out her life in relative obscurity. While she worked there, however, she met a man several years older than her and fell in love with him. This man was James MacDonald Hudson , who had been assigned to a project at the company. He was in charge of developing a mechanical suit which could be used for geological exploration. James eventually became opposed to the idea as he became aware that the suit would be eventually taken over for military purposes. He stole the suit and Heather soon found out that he had done it.
