The totally not known origin of Miri (unless you're cheating!)
Miranda Friedberg was your textbook 'rich bitch' in the making : She inherited a huge fortune from her father, and major stocks in her daddy's company (Friedberg Toilet Seats : the finest thing you've ever befouled!), making sure that she'll always -be- rich. A life of decadent luxury awaited her!
Thing was, she didn't really fancy being the next Paris Hilton. The parties, the drugs....It just didn't appeal to her. She liked her (relatively) simple life (much to her father's relief) of exercising, attending charities and surfing the Internet's many vices (comic books, webcomics, movies, ect...). So instead, she set her sights towards her hometown, and it's many horrors and grim defenders. Like that Mr. Blank fellow! One thought kept returning to her, time after time:
'Sheesh. These people could use some cheering up!'
After all, there are a LOT of dark heroes and even darker villains. Folks -need- a more chipper hero! And Miranda had the time, means and motivation. So why not her?
And so, Miranda became Miri, the zealot of Laughter!
Well. Obviously, she didn't become a fully fledged Batman overnight. It took her close to 5 years of training. It would've been more, if she hadn't worked out constantly before her decision. And even then, she's no Batman! But who could possibly be batman, amirite?
But she (almost) never wavered in her desire to become a hero, and now...She's ready.
Backed by a trust-fund the size of Columbia, her army of personal trainers & instructors and her own 'savant' understanding in tech and engineering, she got to work on becoming a hero that would brighten up the days of victims everywhere!
...Not that she's been a 100% successful, but hey, she's trying! That counts for something, right?
Miri's Funkadelic Arsenal!
While Miri might be smart enough to build gadgets...she has little to no time to do so, on a regular basis. I mean, c'mon. The R&D process would take years if she had to do that all by herself AND fight crime!
Thankfully, she has Uncle Frank. Uncle Frank is a genius scientist. Which is ironic, because 'Frank' is, like, the worst name for a scientist, EVER. But I digress.
Uncle Frank is an odd fellow. I know, I know. Kettle, pot, black..But he really IS odd. He could make it big in any tech company, but -hates- working with others. And companies, in general. Something about a market conspiracy. I never quite delved into it. As such, he mostly created small-scale inventions to keep him going, hoping for a time he'll make enough money for REALLY interesting projects! Suffice to say, he can be a bit of a grump.
However, he does adore his niece. They always got along great at family reunions, discussing geek stuff and laughing at their family's stuffiness. So when Miranda approached him with her idea of being a superhero? He practically -demanded- that he'd be allowed to create her arsenal.
Miranda responded by squealing and hugging her uncle into oblivion.
Gadgets of DOOOOM!!
Okay, maybe not DOOOOM!! Though they do spell it for criminals. Kinda. Okay, okay!
GADGETS OF HILARITY!
There we go.
MiriSpace-Belt
Have you ever seen -any- cartoon? Have you ever wondered where they pull their stuff from? They didn't have pockets or anything! Miri skipped that question and went straight for 'OH MY GOD, I WANT THAT.'.
Thankfully, she actually had (still has) the money needed to create such a thing. And Uncle Frank.
This ingenious belt/ring contains a pocket dimension, in which most of Miri's arsenal is kept in, for easy storage.
MORE TO COME LATERZ!
