I know the feeling.

Well, there are two options here.  Your character could have either received her powers from the domes that have appeared as of this current story arc or was directly given to her by Doctor Diplodoc (just like my PC's Raptor and Arachne).  For the [b]first[/b] option, the domes have been around for only a couple hours at the shortest and maybe a day at the longest.  Furthermore, these domes are isolated to a few major US cities (Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle) , so so your character would have to have been in one of those cities to have been affected by the domes. 

For the [b]second[/b] option, there is a larger window for your character to have gained her powers.  It is currently late February/early March in the IC.  Doctor Diplodoc has had a working serum since August of the previous year (i.e. the same time when Raptor gained his powers).  Between then and the current time in the IC, Doctor Diplodoc has been gathering individuals in order to give them powers.  Some have remained with him (e.g. those metahumans siding with him in the current story arc), while others have not (e.g. Raptor, Arachne, etc).

A good analogy for Doctor Diplodoc's serum would be either the artificial serum from [b]Heroes[/b] or the [b]Terrigen[/b] from Agents of SHIELD (minus the whole being covered in rocks part).  The serum grants superhuman powers to non-metahumans.  While the majority of characters affected by this serum have some sort of animal-like characteristic(s), it is not a requirement.

I was thinking maybe one of the guinea pigs before he got the serum correct. A bit Wolverine/Deadpolesque. Would Dr.Diplodoc done something like that or should I just say another Doctor or something had been working on a serum at the same time ... or something
