Biker Gal

Addie Mahoney believed that her motorcycle was her heart and soul. She was a blonde tomboy that steered away from academics into working in her father's auto garage.

She understood engines more that people, which made her gruff and quick to argue with people, including her father. He had accused her of bad customer relations and not caring enough about people. She tore off in a fit of anger on her motorcycle, leaving her dad angry.

During the argument, one of the garage workers, Trent Rudley, saw his chance to steal from the register. The father blocked the escape from the office. He would have normally let him go and called the police, but the mechanic was one of Addie's hires, and he was still angry at her. As they wrestled, her father had a heart attack and the thief got away. It was several minutes before the father was able to crawl into the customer bay and an ambulance was called, but it arrived too late to save his life.

After the funeral, Addie rode cross-country on her bike trying to escape her guilt. In the middle of the desert, a strange alien-looking space craft ripped through a dimensional rift right in her bike's path. She and her motorcycle were caught in the dimensional ripple that tore them to shreds. The onboard sentient computer system automatically detected this trauma and teleported Addie into their med bay.

She awoke to find herself changed. It had taken more than a week for the med bay to reconstitute her body, but it had done something shocking. The dimensional ripple had caused Addie to merge with her motorcycle. She was bigger and stronger with steel and custom bodywork forming cyborg armor.

The aliens were actually allies of Earth in the future, sent back to prevent future catastrophes, so they were no strangers to how humans with power could be enhanced to control their new abilities. Soon, they manufactured nanomachines that Addie ingested to allow her to focus on the dimensional merging within her body.

With training, she found she could separate herself from the armor with her mind, with the machine reassembling itself into her motorcycle in a few moments. The moving parts would phase in and out of her body and clothing, as if they existed in two different dimensions. When separated, Addie looked very close to the way she did before except for a few glowing scars on her shoulders and back.

She could summon her bike to her, or send it away to this hidden dimension that she called the Break. This dimensional anomaly would also be a strange energy source that she could tap into to give her super speed. Although, whenever she pushed herself to her limit, she could hear the engine of her motorcycle redlining in her ears.

Addie left the aliens (who are the origin for another one of my characters) and returned to her life, running her father's garage. It would be a few weeks before she would heed the advice of the time-displaced aliens that trained her to fight crime in her superhero persona called Biker Gal.

Trent Rudley, who fell in with a dangerous crowd after stealing from Addie's auto garage, would go down another path. He was a scrawny guy looking to gain access to a gang of mobsters and the respect necessary to keep bullies off him in school. When his latent mutant gene kicked in during a display of defiance, he ballooned into a blue-furred wolfman that immediately warranted him the special intimidation jobs behind closed doors, needed by the small-time Boniface family. He became the Monster in the Back Room whose legend grew in the whispers of the most paranoid of the rival families. He yearned to earn himself a place out in the open as a real big-time guy called Smashwolf.

When Biker Gal would defend her neighborhood against these mobsters, how long would it be until they sent Smashwolf after her? And if they did, would they recognize each other and remember that fateful day that ended her father's life? Would her revenge be brutal enough to earn her the Number One spot on his hit list? Only time will tell.
