| + | Janine attended Westside High School in Millennium City. She lived in walking distance, and often shortcutted through the industrial waste yard maintained by VoidWorks Inc. One time, she climbed up a stack of barrels to get over a fence at the edge of the property, and the barrels gave out on her. Janine was knocked out briefly after she fell to the ground, and found herself covered in slimy waste from various barrels. Worried she would be in trouble from VoidWorks and from her dad if anyone knew, so she ran for it. | ||

Facing stiff Federal fines and litigation, VoidWorks covered up the evidence of a living victim, and reported the spill to the EPA as a near-miss. This came with penalties, but less severe ones than if it had been known there was a human casualty. Meanwhile, the chairman of VoidWorks's board quietly arranged for a private eye to investigate clues to the victim's identity. | |

| + | Seven weeks after the incident, Janine began to look into the incident, and realized that VoidWorks had covered it up. Her inquisitive mind led her to want to discover what she had been exposed to. To that end, she made a custom costume with a mask, and used it for her first attempt to infiltrate VoidWorks offices after hours. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Realizing she had gifts, enjoying her escapades against VoidWorks security, and also realizing her powers, while still somewhat mysterious to her, were at least under command, Janine realized she could join the ranks of the city's masked crime fighters. She began night-time patrols, often sneaking out as soon as she heard her father snoring in his bedroom. | ||

| + | VoidWorks stepped up activities to discover Stunner's identity, or capture her. Occasionally, street toughs would be paid by VoidWorks operators to try to draw out Stunner by committing crimes in her part of town, and being prepared to try to seize her if she showed up. Stunner proved capable of being able to outwit these attempts to ensnare her. | ||

Biography
Early Life
Born in Chicago Illinois, Janine's parents separated when she was 5 years old. Her mother left with her lover to live in Florida, while her father moved to Millennium City to seek work. Janine was often with sitters or day cares, and missed out on having involved parents - which developed her into an independent person, but someone longing for guidance and validation.
Chemical Spill
Janine attended Westside High School in Millennium City. She lived in walking distance, and often shortcutted through the industrial waste yard maintained by VoidWorks Inc. One time, she climbed up a stack of barrels to get over a fence at the edge of the property, and the barrels gave out on her. Janine was knocked out briefly after she fell to the ground, and found herself covered in slimy waste from various barrels. Worried she would be in trouble from VoidWorks and from her dad if anyone knew, so she ran for it.
At school, Janine sneaked into the gym showers and washed off, then switched into her gym clothes to get through the day. She felt a little ill from the chemical mix affecting her at a cellular level, as she was slowly being given her new super powers.
VoidWorks was aware that a spill had occurred on their property within hours, and the grounds obviously showed signs that a person had been in the spill, and walked away from it. Facing stiff Federal fines and litigation, VoidWorks covered up the evidence of a living victim, and reported the spill to the EPA as a near-miss. This came with penalties, but less severe ones than if it had been known there was a human casualty. Meanwhile, the chairman of VoidWorks's board quietly arranged for a private eye to investigate clues to the victim's identity.
Within days, Janine realized she had gained super powers, but it took her weeks to understand their extent. Her father's frequent absences from home gave Janine the room she needed to practice and train.
Becoming Stunner
Seven weeks after the incident, Janine began to look into the incident, and realized that VoidWorks had covered it up. Her inquisitive mind led her to want to discover what she had been exposed to. To that end, she made a custom costume with a mask, and used it for her first attempt to infiltrate VoidWorks offices after hours.
The first attempt was a failure; she had underestimated the difficulty of accessing corporate records onsite, and was chased off by security.
She made other attempts, a few weeks apart, but again, had difficulty finding information she needed. Worse, VoidWorks and its private eye deduced that the mysterious masked female was probably their anonymous victim - a super powered person who was coming back to learn what happened to her. They began to increase security, anticipating their opportunity to capture her for study. Janine knew she had to back off.
Realizing she had gifts, enjoying her escapades against VoidWorks security, and also realizing her powers, while still somewhat mysterious to her, were at least under command, Janine realized she could join the ranks of the city's masked crime fighters. She began night-time patrols, often sneaking out as soon as she heard her father snoring in his bedroom.
Hunted by VoidWorks
VoidWorks stepped up activities to discover Stunner's identity, or capture her. Occasionally, street toughs would be paid by VoidWorks operators to try to draw out Stunner by committing crimes in her part of town, and being prepared to try to seize her if she showed up. Stunner proved capable of being able to outwit these attempts to ensnare her.
After her vigilante ally Outsider warned her that VoidWorks might be on the verge of narrowing down her secret identity, given available clues that might point to the mysterious spill victim being a student at nearby Westside High School, Janine pressed her father to let her transfer to Detroit Memorial High School.
