History:
Shortly after
S.H.I.E.L.D. was created, it was given control over a dozen secret government facilities in operation since the mid-1930s. Most were used for creating or studying weapons of various kinds, mechanical, chemical and biological. One dealt with threats from outer space. Two were repositories for all the paperwork generated by the government from WWI and WWII, domestic and foreign.
One was cryogenic storage facility. Along with many documented test subjects there were several early 20th century heroes, notable scientists and military officers, including the last soldiers to assume the Captain America and Bucky identities. Among them an unidentified young woman slept on in suspended animation, originally placed in the facility by NSA Special Agent Scott, a Skrull stranded on Earth in the early 1920s. He was the only one who knew her civilian identity. Due to SA Scott's disappearance, it is unknown when she was delivered to the lab or how long she's been in stasis.
They were ‘lost’ for nearly two decades before S.H.I.E.L.D. technicians began the daunting task of cataloging and clearing the now outdated bases. When the cryogenic tanks were discovered, they were transferred to a more secure facility for further study and maintenance.
In 1995, a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists were given permission to attempt to revive some of the test subjects. Many of the subjects were found to be brain dead and unsuitable for the procedure. The subjects considered valuable were off limits until the procedure was deemed safe. Jenny, as she was affectionately named by the lab personnel, was not considered a ’national treasure’ and eventually she was brought into the main lab for reviving.
On August 24, 2005, Jenny became their first successful long term cryogenic awakening.
Jenny had no memory of her life before she was awakened. The lack of memory and attempts to assimilate her into modern day life outside of her quarters was complicated by what was believed to be a case of PTSD from before her cryo-sleep. Her doctors arrived at the conclusion that it would be kinder to create an identity and memories to give her an anchor. With the help of a telepath and under Dr. Leonard Samson’s supervision, Jenny was reborn.
Her mutant power was accidentally discovered when an orderly tripped and flung out a hand to catch himself. The hand would have almost certainly struck Jenny’s shoulder but for the sudden rebound of both the hand and then the orderly. Testing showed that Jenny had a personal reverse kinesis field about her. Any punch, kick or slap rebounded on the attacker with equal force. One could only touch Jenny with gentle hands. She may literally be conquered by kindness.
With the discovery of her ability, S.H.I.E.L.D. was reluctant to let her out of their custody. Before the discovery, she was being prepared for a life as a S.H.I.E.L.D. civilian employee as well as a long term research subject. The psychiatric division hopes to learn more about effects of cryogenic stasis. Now a new set of memories were created and implanted, and an agent selected for a long term mission.
Jenny Woolverton has a brother, Rob, who is a mid-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Rob is a kind and loving brother who has been Jenny’s guardian since their parents died ten years before. They are very close despite the fifteen year gap between them. She lives with him and he is putting her through college.
In January 2009, Agent Robert Woolverton was promoted to the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. liaison with the Metropolitan Police and an transferred to S.H.I.E.L.D.’s London office. S.H.I.E.L.D. has a vested interest in keeping Jenny under surveillance. Not only will the psychiatric data be valuable, but with her power she could theoretically go up against some very heavy hitters with little injury to herself.
Jenny is required to meet with Dr. Samson on a quarterly basis for re-evaluation. She was told that it helps collect data for the doctor to help other victims of accidents suffering brain injuries. Jenny is not convinced that's the reason and suspects that there might be something seriously wrong with that neither the doctor nor Rob want to share.
Personality: Jenny is quick to smile and can be quite upbeat on occasion. Sometimes she slips into slang appropriate for the 1930s and 1940s and believes it’s from books she’s read in the past. She will have nightmares every so often that wake others up but does not remember them in the morning.
Miscellaneous: She currently works full time at a book store on an indefinite break from her studies. She lives with her brother and a cat Yankee Clipper, YC for short, in a three bedroom flat owned by S.H.I.E.L.D. Being a mutant hasn't really changed the way she lives her life. She shies from casual contact to keep it from activating, although it does come in handy on the Underground.
She has a small monthly stipend from what she believes is the trust set up through her parents' estate but in actuality funded by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Jenny drives a blue 2007 Fiat Panda. She doesn't date and doesn't know why. She was implanted with a tracker that logs her whereabouts at all times, like others deemed 'valuable property' by S.H.I.E.L.D. She loves sloe gin fizzes and big band music.
05282010 - In a random happening, Jenny met and joined the current
Excalibur team. She finds them likable if a little confusing at times. Rob isn't happy about it but there's little he can do to stop her.
08022010 - After her quarterly appointment with Doc Samson, Jenny made arrangements to meet with a young man she’d had an email correspondence with for a time. Expecting drinks and maybe dinner, she was surprised to meet Andy Walters of the Defenders, and to feel a strong connection with him so quickly. Drinks turned into three days of getting to know each other. They’ve decided to continue the relationship long distance and see where it takes them.
Rob’s attempt to talk to her about this out-of-character behavior was ignored.
