Backstory
Tracing her roots directly to the founding of the United States, she came into being shortly after the signing of the Declaration of Independence when the founding fathers hoped to summon a weapon that would not only embody the spirit of the nation but defend it as well. Using a combination of freemason rituals, Native American rites and Ben Franklin's experimental technology to conduct a summoning that would bring her into existence. Unfortunately she would prove an infant and thus not quite the protector they were seeking and thus she would be raised in secret by George Washington and his wife, unofficially adopted by them.

As she grew older she would soon prove the protector the founding fathers had hoped, and would prove to be their secret weapon in times of need in their conflicts until his presence would become public knowledge during WW2 where superheroes would enter the mainstream for the first time. Following the end of the war she would continue to serve as the United States as official government hero, seeming to reach her peak popularity in the 1980’s only for her to decline toward the mid 90’s with friction between her and the government forming due to her disregard to their orders, and loose canon approach ultimately leading to her being officially dismissed, and no longer a official superhero in their eyes.

Though she has remained a active superhero, her reputation has been hit so, what due to her appearance and personality making her become viewed as a bit of a joke and meme by the public, with her struggling to get by resulting in her living out of trailer and traveling across the nation trying come to terms with her status as the embodiment of America, and what does that actually mean for her.

Personality
Despite her long long life and maturity Martha has always remained an extremely headstrong woman with an unmatched passionate spirit. Regardless if it’s her superheroine identity Miss Freedom or just normal alter ego, Martha is well known for her headstrong, stubborn, and outgoing nature, often approaching everything with an overwhelming confidence and self assurance that has at times bordered on extreme arrogance. While she appears to lack overt wisdom despite being two centuries old, her long life has taken its toll and made her internally rather conflicted on her history as a superhero for the United States as she has wondered on her contributions to the nation have her made her in part responsible for some of the more negative things that the United States had done, as well as her nature as some kind of literal embodiment of the United States having made her wonder how much does she actually embody the nation at its core, or she’s a failure for not being able to be the perfect embodiment she was summoned to be. Furthermore her status as an over the top American icon combined with her deep desires of validation from the public have made her self conscious of if people regard her as an actual superhero or just some kind of joke, that has left her with increasing self doubt on her own abilities, with her often wondering what her adopted father would come to think of her. As a result she has found herself redoubling down and pressing her negative thoughts outer layer of confidence and self assurance trying her hardest to continue to be the Defender of Freedom she feels she must be while struggling to come to terms with her internal struggles in being representative of the ideals of the United States.

Abilities & Powers
Created from three different sources of power when summoned into existence, Martha’s power set as Miss Freedom makes her a formidable hero, with her capabilities and skills including:

Super Strength & Durability: Capable of shrugging off bullets and strong enough to lift tanks over her head Martha is classed as a capable powerhouse by superhuman standards, though it a-pears her exact strength and durability seem be in flux, with it being speculated it may be tied to the status or belief of the United states, but that is unclear.

Enhanced Vision: Due to her being partially bald Eagle, Math’s eyesight far surpasses normal humans, giving her incredible reflexes and long distance sight.

Experienced Fighter: Nearly two and a half centuries of experience in the field, Martha is capable in most forms of combat, with her being an expert marksman and a skilled hand to hand fighter. While she is fond of quite firearms, she has greatly decreased her use of them in her superheroics due to wishing to appear as a better role model and feeling her super strength and durability make it unnecessary for her.

Sonic Screech: Able to focus a powerful bald Eagle screech into sonic a that are powerful enough to release kinetic force to damage or stun foes.

Pocket Dimension Arsenal: Containing all the various weapons she’s collected over the years, most of which she has enchanted via freemason magic. Martha has access to a pocket dimension that can let her pull out any weapons she has stored into her hand should she require it. Typically she uses it against more difficult foes or if a situation requires it but overall she prefers to use it sparingly and when the situation may require it.

Transformation: When Martha shouts the words “For Liberty and Justice for All!” She is able to shift between her civilian and superhero costumes often getting struck by red, blue and white lightning . In addition she has the ability to shift herself into a human version of herself for extended periods to avoid being recognized.

Flight: Able to move herself without any kind of propulsion, Martha is able to fly with great effort to around up to speeds comparable to the North American F-86 Sabre.

Alter Ego
Having been taken care of by the government for most of her life, after she was dismissed she has since become something of a drifter, living in a trailer and taking jobs as she travels from town to town to make whatever money she can with whatever she can get. For the most part she remains friendly and outgoing, taking little care to keep a low profile and at times getting in trouble with the law, though she’s stated to those who ask her reasons for traveling as wanting to see the whole country as tries to “figure herself out”.
