History

Where do you come from?

A research facility outside Berlin, in the countryside.

Have you made any major moves, or do you live in your hometown?

Came to America aged 5, after the end of WW II

Do you feel loyal to your country of citizenship? Do you consider yourself patriotic? How do you feel about the government of your country?

Yes, in general, my father and I made our wealth here. It is a land of oppurtunity.

How do you feel about the place you come from?

Germany has a shameful past but it is emerging from it. I have mixed feelings about it. I want it to recover.

Where is your home town? What was/is it like?

A research facility, very unpleasant.

Growing up, were most of the people you knew similar to you, or were you somehow a minority? How did that affect you?

Similar to me, although I obviously had my powers. I used them to fit in. My father home tutored me, but I snuck away often!

Is there something you've always been really good at or really bad at? How has that affected your life?

I'm good at running a business. And I like to party! I'm not really bad at anything.

Were there any traumatic experiences in your early years (death of a family member, abandonment, orphaned at an early age)?

My first four years of life I was just a test subject. They where pretty traumatic, I still have the occasional dimly remembered nightmare.

Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life.

Being rescued by my adoptive father and coming to America. It really was the beginning of my life.

What stupid things did you do when you were younger?

Pretending to be other people, including older than I was. I drank and partied before I should have.

Where did you go to school? How much school did you have, and did you enjoy it?

I was home tutored mainly.

Do you have any mementos of your childhood? What are they, and why did you keep them? If you have none, why not?

Yes, several photo's of my childhood and father. I still have the serial number bracelet I had as an infant.

When did you decide to become a hero? Why? Did anyone influence you one way or another in the decision?

My father always felt I had a special purpose. I guess I agree with him. My business is as successful as I could wish, and I guess it's time to turn my attention to a nobler cause, something my Father suggested on his death bed.

Is the reason you give people for becoming a hero different than your real reason? If so, why?

No.

Do you have any deep, dark secrets in the past that may come back to haunt you?

I engaged in industrial espionage when we started out our company, using my powers. It's pretty unlikely that will come out from 40 years in the past.

Do you represent yourself as being different from who you really are? Why?

Not really, despite my powers.

If you do have these secrets, what do you fear would happen if the truth became known? How far would you go to protect those secrets?

Pretty far, mainly to protect my father and his (my) company. It's unlikely to have any really serious impact at this stage, so I wouldn't kill or use violence. I may bend the law slightly to protect the reputation of the company.

Do you have any sort of criminal record? If so, is it public knowledge?

No.

Family

What are your biological parents' names?

Unknown.

Were you raised by them? If not, please explain and describe who raised you.

No. I was rescued by Fassbinder Snr at the age of 4 and he became my adoptive father.

What was their standing in the community? What did/do they do for a living?

Initially he was a Jewish German resistance fighter, a war hero. So pretty respected. He was also a genius pharmacist and gained a very good reputation in America academically and locally.

Where are your parents now?

Dead.

Did your family stay in one area or move around a lot?

A bit of both. Initially we stayed in the same area, but as the business took off, we were often moving around.

Yes, although I am not firm in this. My mecurial nature may lead me to stray.

What type of person would be your ideal mate?

Attractive, Intelligent, and someone who accepts my peculiar physiology. That may mean they would have to be bisexual.

Yes, as Fassbinder I enjoy poker evenings with Douglas Downberry, a scientist at the company, and Richard Redwood, the practical manager of the company (And his wife, Rita), all who are about 50-60 and pleasant company. When I change into a youthful woman, who parties at a local club "The Fierce Fox" (my name is Fiona Freeman) I am good friends with the Large (and Gay) Bartender, Roberto.

Torture. That degree of cruelty. That kind of person is scum.
