HistoryEdit

Anything you can do, I can do better.

-- Finesse  

Born with the ability to master any skill quickly, her parents rewarded her for any activity that brought them money, status or acclaim. She is aware her parents had a shadowy past, and suspects that her real father might be the Taskmaster, but has no proof beyond a similarity in their powers.

She graduated M.I.T. at age fourteen and was in training to become an Olympic athlete when she was approached to join the Avenger's program. She welcomed the chance to expand her knowledge, and because her rivals were attempting to have her banned anyway. While the other members of the Avengers Academy were tortured by Norman Osborn to expand their powers, she never was. All he had to do was offer her the chance to learn things she never could otherwise. For this, her new instructors regard her with suspicion.

After viewing a documentary on Quicksilver's life, she guesses that he was never replaced by a Skrull like he claimed to the media, and uses this knowledge to blackmail him into teaching her everything he learned as part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. She grows close to Quicksilver and is quick to defend him after Magneto pays a visit to the academy and argues with Quicksilver. After the confrontation she asks Quicksilver to teach her to be like him as opposed to teaching her what he learned from Magneto.
