Copycat

Personality
Her personality sways depending on who she's been mimicking lately. If she hasn't been anyone else for a while, she starts becoming more like herself. Her normal personality is one of a nerdy, often cheerful girl who is easily spooked and frightened, and suffers from a lack of confidence due to the liability of her powers.

Her powers it made it difficult for her to have a normal life, so she's dedicated herself to doing good with her powers and helping others. Being a hero is the only way she feels normal.She gravitates towards cheerful, happy, stable people so that if she does have accidental contact, she'll get to experience that happiness.

Powers
Copycat has the mutant ability to not just mimic people she becomes them. With physical contact, whether her hitting/touching a metahuman, or getting punched by one, her mutant powers can sync up with the person and allow her to copy them. Direct skin-to-skin contact forces the change.

When she's copying someone, she actual becomes them. Including their powers, appearance, skills, memories, language, personality, physical characteristics, but she also gets their weaknesses (complications). She can't copy tech or machinery, or special items of power, like Excalibur (Foci essentially), but can still mimic innate magic, supernatural abilities, etc. She can also copy skill-based powers, such as magic spells, and martial arts.

When she's just herself, she has control over bio-matter and is able to generate bio-energy into blasts or charged punches, propelled flight, and relocate her bio-matter to teleport.

Skills
Copycat has very few skills of her own, but she's able to pick up skills to a certain degree from a target she's mimicking. She even has access to their thoughts and memories if she's synced with them long enough, and can learn things they know. Thanks to her powers and experience with metahuman powers, she's able to analyze powers, understand how they work, and knows about the number of metahumans.She often serves as a lab/research/tech/whatever assistant for work, because she can pick up any skills she needs on the job!

Complications
When Copycat becomes someone else, she takes on their weaknesses, too. If she's mimicking somebody long enough, she risks forgetting who she is and becomes that person until somebody snaps her out of it. This causes her to have trouble differentiating her personality from ones she's taken on.

Her twin sister Kit has decided to start a life of crime, stealing lives and living the high life. She doesn't kill or hurt anyone per se, but she does steal. The sisters still love each other and while they may fight each other when their paths cross, if the other were in real danger, they would come to the other's rescue. Kit still wants Cat to join her way of thinking and is a rivalry in the superhuman world.

At a big battle in Millennium City, she copied a master villain named King Cobra while he was blackmailing the city to surrender to his rule. She had hoped to learn his plans of where he hid the bombs to try to save the city. Instead, his megalomaniac persona overwhelmed her and she forgot who she was, becoming him completely. The public believes King Cobra was responsible for the destruction of several parts of the city. But the truth is it was Copycat, and her teammates weren't able to snap her out of it in time after they had finished defeating the real King Cobra. Her teammates covered up for her and didn't tell her the truth. Occasionally memories surface, and she's starting to have suspicions of what really transpired.

King Cobra has set COIL after Copycat for his own crazed reasons. He believes she has to be taught a lesson for daring to pose as the future world ruler. Her ability to mimic almost any metahuman power has also gotten the notice of next generation, who want to capture her to experiment with her DNA. When she comes in to skin contact with somebody, she doesn't have control over mimicking them. She almost always becomes whoever she makes skin-to-skin contact with.

Origin
Copycat is one of those odd few born with powers thanks to a natural mutation that skips a few evolutionary steps. She started manifesting them around puberty, and they've grown with her since then.

Life History
Katrina and Kit Prince were twins. And like twins, they did everything together. People couldn't tell them apart. Sometimes they were swap places just to trick people to see if they could figure out who was who. Even their parents couldn't tell.

But that was when they were young. Things changed in high school when they both developed identical metahuman powers. Catrina's powers came out when she was on a date during her first kiss, when she turned into the guy that she was dating. Everyone at school knew about it the next day. So the twins were transferred to another school in another town. And her powers became known again. Another transfer. Another outing. Cat's attempts at a normal life became fruitless. And it's difficult to maintain a relationship when you keep turning into the person you're dating. Kit was somehow more successful. and keeping her secret, and it was the first time she kept something from Cat.

At 17, Cat and Kit stopped trying to be normal and sought out metahumans who would understand. For a time, they were known as the heroic duo team: KitCat. But it was short-lived. Kit started to drift from her sister. While Cat wanted to do some good since she couldn't have a normal life. Kit wanted to use her powers for personal gain by stealing people's lives. There was a split between the two. Cat went on to become CopyCat, but felt lost about what to do.

Some heroes eventually brought CopyCat onto their team in a trial run and taught her that her powers could be really useful. She was best at deep cover missions or gaining intel.

Her powers continued to grow while her sense of self lessens. Now she's come to Colonial Bay in the hopes of being helped or fixed by Dr. Silverback, a hyper intelligent gorilla scientist with a specialty in bio-chemistry who recently moved to the Colonial Bay to study metahumans. He is an expert on metahuman powers and physiology.

Copycat has served on a number of teams in Millennium City and along the coast, and is a known hero in some hero circles. But she's also not very well known to the general populace because she's always copying someone when she's getting publicity. A number of heroes have gotten the credit when it was really her copying them.

The Future: All of Time and Space
Katrina Freeman dies at the age of 88 of old age, leaving behind her husband, Griffin Freeman, and their child, Stellaris, Griffin Freeman became the keeper of the Torus. But after her death, younger versions of Copycat keep popping up to visit and help Griffin Freeman, her husband and handwarmer+, across the ages. Her personal time is stopped when traversing time using the Torus, so her life span is much longer than it seems, and she was much older than 88. Much of this is hidden as her time travels are usually under different guises, the most famous of which is Dr. Arthur Aevus.

Griffin Freeman's 4th-Dimensional wife is always meeting him in a different order after her passing, keeping her immortal husband company for eternity. That's how it was supposed to be, anyway.

The time barrier that was suddenly erected has blocked Kat from keeping her promise to never leave Griffin alone, and she's been working at trying to figure out how and why it exists, and how to get past it.

With his wife missing from his life over the millennia, Griffin Freeman grows weary of life, eventually becoming a villain longing for an end to an eternity of losing everyone and everything.
