Name: Emily Freedom Rodgers
Alias: Freedom's Shield
Age: 18
Alignment: Little Miss Goody-Two-Shoes
Powers/Abilities: Her strength, endurance, agility, speed, reflexes, durability, and healing are at the zenith of natural human potential. Rogers' body regularly replenished the super-soldier serum, it does not wear off.
The formula enhances all of her metabolic functions and prevents the buildup of fatigue poisons in her muscles, giving her endurance far in excess of an ordinary human being.
This accounts for many of her extraordinary feats, including bench pressing 1200 pounds (545 kg) and running a mile (1.6 km) in 73 seconds (49 mph/78 kph).
Rogers cannot become intoxicated by drugs, including alcohol,or by impurities in the air and is immune to terrestrial diseases.
She is also highly resistant to hypnosis or gases that could limit her focus.
High proficiency in Judo, Boxing, Taekwondo, Krav Maga and Capoeira
Equipment:She has an energy enhanced shield built by Tony Stark using materials similar to those that make up his armor which can be used with either arm to either block attacks or as an improvised offensive weapon.
An additional effect of its unusual construction is that it is able to cut through metal with relative ease. Much like her great-uncle's vibranium shield the energy shield can also be thrown, including ricocheting off multiple surfaces and returning to her hand,
Her uniform is made of a fire-retardant material, and she wears a lightweight, bulletproof "duralumin" scale armor beneath her uniform for added protection.
Universe: OC
History: The secrets of creating a super-soldier were lost with the death of its creator, Dr. Abraham Erskine but a sample lot was discovered by a secret branch of the Army's R&D agency.
Eager to try and recreate the project they began researching the best course.
However, in the decades after the creation of Captain America there have been numerous secret attempts to recreate Erskine's treatment, only to have them end in failure. Even worse, the attempts have instead often created psychopathic super villains.
It was during their research that they discovered one of Dr. Erskine's secrets, Steve Rodger's DNA had a unique marker that was needed.
Having only a small amount of the ”Project Rebirth” serum they began a fevered search after 911 for Rodger's extended family and a suitable subject.
Emily Freedom Rodgers was born on July 4, 1994 in Albany N.Y. to Ernest Rodgers and Lacy Jones Rodgers.
Emily was a normal girl living the middle class life in Albany when at the age of 12 they found her. Her genetic markers were perfect for the revival of Rebirth and the R&D lab created conditions that led to her seizure by DFACS on the trumped up charges of Abuse.
Once they had her they began their research, at first giving her small doses of serum along with artificial energy stimulation they found her body like her great uncle's could regenerate serum and they could leach it from her. Each round of bloodletting was like being set on fire for young Emily but none cared how she felt. Blinded by a lust for power they kept her caged like an animal between sessions without a care for her mental well being.
For two years they tortured poor Emily then at the age of 14 after using her body as a factory they'd collected enough serum and merely kept her on hand for future study.
They'd failed to notice that during their experiments Emily's body had changed and while she wasn't a super soldier by use of the serum, her adolescent body had mutated mimicking its effects.
They had planned on keeping her and their project a secret but one day Agent's of SHIELD raided their operation arresting all those connected with the illegal project SHIELD doctors had discovered what the project's doctors had missed, Emily was no longer a normal girl.
SHIELD reunited young Emily with her parents but maintained a watch on her after swearing her to secrecy.
Then under a covert project known only as Mentor SHIELD inserted agents in her area whose duties were to direct her development. Some were teachers in her school, others were shop owners one was the local martial arts instructor and the closest her neighbor Ms Winter who was also the local head librarian.
Shield remembered all the help her great uncle had been and saw in Emily the chance to create his replacement in the Avengers should he quit, retire or be killed.
Emily was encouraged to be a new hope for the future of america. Her school received the best teachers Shield could covertly entice to teach there and because of this the school scored higher overall in their work and grades thus her presence benefiting her fellow students and providing her with good peers.
Emily knowing of her power and enjoying the exercise of it couldn't help herself and had used her abilities to safeguard her town from time to time taking on the bad guys. This required that Shield supply her with a uniform and shield to protect her true identity. Lucky for Shield her home's location and the surrounding area were sparsely populated and seldom suffer major crimes.
Like a predatory cub though she began to expand her range and go after stronger prey forcing her Mentors to bring her in for special training under shield’s best and why she formed an early bond with the Black widow who was capable of giving the powerful teenager a run for her money.
SHIELD discovered in her training that Emily like her Great Uncle was a person driven by a sense of right and wrong that was annoying because it meant she couldn’t be connected with several types of covert missions and could defy orders if they didn’t meet her standards of right and wrong. This didn’t mean Nick Fury didn’t use her from time to time though it infuriated her Great Uncle which caused epic debates between himself and Emily on women’s rights which he argued didn’t make her old enough to be put in danger till she was 18.
One day the Avengers were battling against a powerful foe in California when Nick Fury found out that AIM was moving something important. He knew that they were taking advantage of the Avengers absence and that he must move fast. Sending out a call to Emily he had her join a SHIELD team as a counter to any supers that they might have.
Emily while not as skilled as her great uncle she is by her nature a super soldier with an excellent tactical ability and was placed in command of older agents because of it so stopping the convoy was easy and their chances of escape limited in the extreme
Shortly after stopping the convoy of AIMs transports a battle began. Emily and the Agents she was around were having great success till an AIM agent fired off an RPG type weapon several times at her group. They'd taken refuge near a transport which was struck twice. The devices they were transporting began exploding leaving Emily little choice but to cover the retreat of her agents. Then it was while beginning her own escape that an explosion caused a device known as the Siege Perilous to activate and suck Emily into it before disappearing it's self. Falling through dimensions Emily was on a one way journey which dropped her into. Central park in an alternate dimension.
Injured and needing to conceal herself she quickly found shelter. This New York being so much like the one in her dimension Emily tried to make contact with SHIELD to no avail as her encryption systems were not compatible with those here. Her equipment having suffered so much damage she assumed that her transmitter was busted and hit the beacon which did show on SHIELDs systems as an unauthorized use of their frequency.
Dispatching a team of agents SHIELD soon made the startling discovery of Emily dressed in her Uniform. After an initial bit of confusion which could have erupted into a fight when Emily asked for a counter sign identification she was brought in and debriefed.
It was only after the Appearance of Director Fury that she shifted her cover story and told them the truth. She knew he was not her Fury but she could sense in the man all those qualities she'd come to respect and admire even in his alternate.
Fury for his part was stunned and elated when he found that he'd not only been given a new Super Soldier but one that was loyal to SHIELD's mission and himself. He at first thought to use her as an agent and not expose her existence to those outside the need to know till he remembered that Steve Rogers himself didn't react well to being lied to and always discovered when someone did, it was another of the annoying side effects of Erskine's formula.
