Re: Timedrop23’s New Universe

[Timedrop23]

Here is my shaded re-design of the Frank Hallows villain, The B.R.I.D.E. I originally created her for a Public Domain contest last year but didn’t get too much of a response about her. I changed her dress, continued that machine-pretending-to-be-human aspect of her into a new set of legs, and added some shading and glowing effects.

Name: The B.R.I.D.E.
Alias: Elizabeth Victoria Stein
Enemies: Frank Hallows, Deus-X
Race: Android
Birthplace: Ithaca, NY
Powers: Superhuman strength, Energy claws, Absorbs (downloads) human memory by touch.
Bio: Dr. Elisabeth Victoria Stein (Evie to her friends) was once a prominent scientist at HallowGen, contracted by founder Frank Hallows to research the connection between computers and the human brain. Her work would soon form the basis for the interface Frank now uses to control the P.A.T.C.H. suit. But Dr. Stein’s ambitions reached much higher. She wished to push the boundaries of ethical science by attempting to have human brains directly interface with computer hardware, and even convert human memory into binary data for storage on computer mainframes.
Fearing the devastatingly godlike potential this would have in the wrong hands, Frank shut down Dr. Stein’s program and fired her, retaining the rights to all of Stein’s research and keeping her findings under the highest level of security possible.
Weeks went by without incident, but Dr. Evie Stein would return in force, breaking into HallowGen with a bang and escaping the ensuing chaos with her research and several million dollars’ worth of stolen HallowGen technology.
The bomb she planted below her former employer’s office would leave Frank paralyzed from the waist down, dependent on the newly completed P.A.T.C.H. suit for his mobility and survival.
Meanwhile, the disgraced Dr. Evie Stein would continue her work in secret, fashioning the Bionic Remote Interactive Digital Envoy from her cache of stolen P.A.T.C.H. and X-2 technology and taking the fatal risk of using her own brain as the upload source for what would prove to be her final experiment.
The transfer was a success. Dr. Evie Stein’s human body was now an empty, soulless shell. But what did it matter when she had a stronger, faster cybernetic body at her command? But the collection of firing synapses that comprised the essence of Dr. Elisabeth Victoria Stein would quickly fall victim to the numerous security subroutines embedded in the patchwork of stolen HallowGen tech, leaving behind only a heavily armed, psychologically unstable automaton with a now-baseless hatred of Frank Hallows and an unwavering desire to possess as much human knowledge as possible. Beware, for The B.R.I.D.E. is alive!
