Appearance : Mags has gone from being a cute tomboy into an attractive young woman.  She now wears a revealing dark blue costume with an easily detachable orange cape that conceals a flat backpack where she keeps her tool kit and other important items.  Recently Mags has received a special pair of breast implants.

Powers : Maggie has no inherent powers other than her inventive genius.  She also has a near-eidetic memory as well as being able to speed read.  Given enough Red Bull or Amp she could go hours without sleep.

Skills: Mags is an expert in various physical sciences and is a masterful engineer.  Her ability to construct hi-tech devices is very impressive and she is able to analyze and deconstruct many types of technology.  Some types of tech might be beyond her understanding but she can easily grasp concepts even if she cannot replicate the gear behind them.  She is an expert when it comes to writing software as well, although not in the class of someone like Photon or Knack.

Mags has some experience with martial arts (as well as taking a rape training course).  By no means an expert, she is able to defend herself to some extent.  If she is for one reason or another forced into a hand-to-hand fight it would be inelegant and bloody as she would immediately go for the eyes, screaming all the way.

Mags has explored the worlds of finance and big business and has become quite rich through a wide range of ventures, from her technology firm (Awesometech) to her first venture, Caped Catering.

Background : Magdalena was born to a nice couple in Edmonton, Jude and Lara.  Her mother repaired computers, while her father was a high school music teacher.  Almost immediately the couple could tell their daughter was…different.  She would constantly build exotic and fascinating Lego constructions.  At age six she got ahold of her father’s old Erector set and quickly mastered it.  She tore apart the family PC and put it back together, then tore it apart again and using spare parts her mother had left lying around improved it’s memory and graphics card.

Clearly, Jude and Lara thought, their kid was a little strange.

As she grew up Mags discovered her uber-geek personality alienated classmates.  Oddly enough, she figured out that posing as a mutant with magnetic powers went over better than someone with a triple digit IQ.  So she and her parents set up The Big Lie and Maid of Awesome, Mistress of Magnetism was born.  In the mean time her parents proceeded to manage Maid's finances, patenting some of her inventions for serious coin.  Exposure to The Vindicators' Fixit made Maid realize The Big Lie sucked and she decided to come clean with the world.  Briefly working with The Vindicators, she found that teaming up with the Neo Phyters was a much more enjoyable experience.  While her team mates found her a little strange they were all misfits and got along very well.

EQUIPMENT:

Maid of Awesome's costume is an advanced piece of technology.  Constructed of duraweave and teflex, the costume creates an electromagnetic force field that provides her with considerable protection.  The field can also react with Earth's magnetic field and allows her to fly, and it also allows her to manipulate tons of ferrous material (she can lift and throw a mid-sized car, for example).  The force field can generate tremendous heat that can scorch enemies trying to grab her, or it can keep her  comfortable in cold temperatures.
