Description
On first glance, the hero known as the Cobalt Shade appears as a synthetic human, an android with a female phenotype. Standing at about 6 feet and 2 inches tall, with a slender yet curvy figure and featuring artificial, violet eyes, charcoal hair and a flawless, obviously synthetic, pale skin, one might easily take Monica O'Neil for an automaton. While this is not far from the truth, at least from a technological standpoint, the reality is somewhat different. Her body is fully synthetic, without any form of organic tissue, but the software running it, is either a consciousness transferred from a human or at least based on it.
Cobalt Shade has so far demonstrated the ability to project particle energy and levitation by the use of an internal counter-gravity engine, possibly assisted by jet-boosters, depending on the various modules of equipment and armor she's using.
She's not really widely know and doesn't crave the attention and while she is officially operating under the "Cobalt Shade" alias, Monica is not really making a secret out of what she is doing.
Background
Monica O'Neil, 32 years old, wasn't always a mind inside a machine body. She used to be a MI6 operative, acting as a double agent within a cell of VIPER.
During that time, VIPER was sheltering and funding Dr Slobodan Mihalovic, a rogue cybernetics scientist, who had stolen research data and prototypes from the robotics company he used to work for.
When it became apparent, that Dr Mihalovic intended to betray his new employer as well, it was Monica's team that was sent to claim VIPER's return of investment.
However, the good doctor had anticipated this. The team was ambushed by his robotic creations, while he escaped with the data and some prototypes.
VIPER's forces were all but anihilated. It wasn't before an UNTIL team arrived at the scene, when Monica was found as the sole survivour. More or less.
By means that UNTIL scientists are still investigating, Monica's consciousness had been transfered into an Athena-Type MkIV android body protype, which Mihalovic left behind. Monica herself doesn't remember anything after the ambush, however.

Presently, she acts as an operative of UNTIL, upon whom she also depends on for maintanance and repairs.

Powers
Monica's body is significantly stronger and more durable than that of a normal human. When supplied with sufficient energy, integrated repulsor devices allow for flight and she can move and jump beyond normal human levels.
Her synthetic body's sturdiness and sensory abilities allow her to operate high powered firearms with impunity and great accuracy.
Integrated into her hands and feet are repulsor beam devices, that enable both flight and may function as a weapons system.
Through the use of modular armour and equipment elements, her abilities can be enhanced or additional capabilties can be added.
Since her mind is essentially software, she can't be read by psychics and has no detectable aura.
Flaws
Her body and armour modules depend heavily on power sources that need frequent replacing. Additional to needing her sources of energy replaced often, her lack of ability to heal naturally (her body may mend small bruises on its own) makes her dependent on the technological expertise of UNTIL and Harmon Industries engineers for maintenance.
As a synthetic being, her artificial nature makes her susceptible to expert hackers to a degree (her own security systems are well capable to defend against any lesser kind of threat), which is why she prefers to forego any kind of data connection to the outside in order to avoid this and keeps her virus definitions up-to-date during maintenance.
