Laura Kent
How Project Cadmus got access to the Weapon X program, Laura will never really know. Too much destruction has happened since her project was started. She knows that she was a part of a program designed as a rival to the Sentinel Program. But when the Sentinel program took over the United States Government, many members who ran the Cadmus program went rogue. They wanted to free America from the control of Robots and suddenly, the supers that they had been striving to hunt had now become their best asset. Taking the two DNA's that had a hard time stabilizing and mixing them together was an honest shot in the dark. No one really believed it would work, but when Laura was 'born', there was a quick celebration before everything went to hell again.
Sentinels raided the facility and most of the scientists were slain. Laura escaped with the janitor of all people. The kind old man knew the ins and outs of the research facility and when he saw the young girl crying, he simply picked her up and carried her over his shoulder. She could hear the older man laugh to himself as he carried her between gasping breaths. "Guess there are worse ways to get a daughter."
Burt Kent was a general handyman and janitor with excellent credentials. It made it easy for him to travel and find work enough to support him and his strange daughter. Burt raised Laura as best as he could, but a child who could hear the ice cream truck from 9 blocks away and get there faster than a car was hard to maintain. Eventually, Burt went back to the family trade of farming and hid himself and his daughter away in the country. It was there that Laura would live out the majority of her teenage life.
At 17, sentinels arrived into the small farming town in response to some people making claims about a different family. Laura couldn't help herself, she had to help the family being harassed. She managed to save them, but only because Burt, her father, decided to be a distraction. He shot them first with his rifle and then rammed them with his truck while Laura and the family ran away. Laura hasn't forgiven herself for causing her dad's death and often uses that emotion when she makes her attacks on sentinels on patrol.
