Zero (Ms. Lift III)

BACKGROUND: Zero's mum was the second woman to take the name Ms. Lift, and her Nana was the first. Zero's dad is an on-again/off-again villain and general layabout named Peel, but no one in the family talked to him much. Either way, when Zero manifested her powers in her early teens, no one was very surprised. Zero would be the third Ms. Lift, but she'd always hated the name. Really, at best it sounded like an elevator operator. At worst, it was a set up for a bra joke. Either way, Zero decided to go against tradition, in the way of names at least. Her Nana tutted a bit at the decision, but no one really pressed. After all, strong independence was ALSO a tradition. LEGACY Original Ms. Lift: Zero's Nana (Deirdre Elizabeth Whelan) was the first Ms. Lift. An Irish immigrant, she began her hero career in the mid fifties when she was still a teenager. She continued to be Ms. Lift until the late sixties, when she married long time associate Tony "Flyboy" Hart. She would be replaced as Ms. Lift by her daughter Rose. Ms. Lift II Rose Hart, Zero's mum, was the second Ms. Lift. She was most active through the late seventies to mid eighties, taking a break only when forced by pregnancy with Findabair. Rose is still semi active as Ms. Lift to this day. Zero Findabair's hero name is more than just a quick name in a hat. She loves her mum and her Nana, but she really, REALLY, hates the name Ms. Lift. She hides this behind the fact that her mum is still technically using the name anyways, but really, she'll never use it. More though, being part of an ongoing legacy it turns out, comes with a continual push to have a family to pass the legacy to, and Zero is exactly the amount of interest Zero has in THAT. Both her mum and her Nana assure her that she'll find the interest when she's older. POWERS: WORK IN PROGRESS
