Lilith Carpenter
Lilith’s background is bizarre, even in a world with superpowers. The villainess Shadowmind originally intended Lilith's body as a replacement for her own, and collected genetic samples from hundreds of heroes and villains across the globe in order to create what she considered the perfect genome and resulting body. The manipulation of Lilith's genome was so extensive that many would question whether she was truly human, for her strength, resilience, and reaction time are nearly ten times that of a normal human on average.
Lilith was fortunate in that Shadowmind became curious what sort of personality such a ‘human’ might develop, and chose to instead implant enough information in her mind to become her own person. She awoke on Jan 11 2030, with a physical age of twenty-seven, after Shadowmind was captured. Lilith found herself with little idea of who she was or should be, and was primarily tutored for several months by a near-sentient AI named Circe. In many ways, she is still trying to find where she fits into the world. Although 'born' in 2030, she has forged documentation that lists her as being born in 2003.
Shadowmind's 'construct' was designated a bioweapon by the government. If they became aware that Lilith was the construct, this would leave her open to the Reinfield Act. The government has offered a million dollars for information leading to the capture of Shadowmind's last biological weapon, or ten million for her capture. Various groups of villains have also offered high bounties.
Her primary funds were distributed from an Advent Bank trust fund. She went on to found Carpenter Microsystem Solutions, of which she was the sole owner. She sold off this business when she moved to Paragon City.
Lilith is considered to be a Class A superhuman, though physically she's on the high end of Class B.

Lilith was pardoned by the President, and the government bounty lifted, following the intervention of Dracula.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Lilith has long arms and legs, with an hourglass figure and large, full breasts. Her face is heart-shaped, with brilliant emerald eyes and full crimson lips. Her hair is black with faint crimson highlights.
Special abilities
Lilith originally possessed a single superpower known as a Captivation Field. This very uncommon ability causes her to draw attention when she's nearby. This even works when others can't see her directly, so long as there isn't a significant intervening barrier between her and others. The Field also has the unusual side effect of penetrating virtually any mental defense. She cannot suppress this ability or otherwise turn it off, making it difficult to go anywhere without drawing significant attention. A reverse effect of the power is that it allows her to sense others nearby. The Captivation field imposes a low level cognitive load on her brain.
The Captivation Field does not affect AIs or people viewing a video recording of her.
Following a second awakening, she became able to use her energy to boost the power of others. She can also use it for healing, but that comes with a severe backlash that can incapacitate her. These abilities to boost and heal rely on a psychic link and two-way trust, they don't work on strangers.
Her physical abilities are immensely enhanced compared to those of a normal human. Her nervous system is almost a form of fiber-optic network, giving her extremely fast reactions and enhanced combat instincts. She is also resistant to electricity.
Overall she has some eight to ten times the capabilities of a mundane of similar build. These abilities are part of her physical body, not powers she was granted.
She now wears weaponized power armor capable of flight.
A negative 'ability' is that she has bad luck with gambling and games of chance.
SPOILER FOLLOWS:
Show spoiler
Lilith underwent a third awakening using the amulet given to her by Ra . At that point, she gave up all her former powers. Her new powers allow her to fly and to move fast - though she takes time to accelerate. Sun-based energy control allows her to create and project orbs of light as well as control existing plasma energy by touch. She can also survive in space without air.
Her eyes now glow slightly and her whole body glows when using her powers.
To accompany her new powers, she wears a suit provided to her by Ra. This is deep red, some sections veering close to maroon. Complex designs edged in gold give it a glittering, shimmering appearance.
