Radium

Radium is living fission reactor whose fled prison in China.

Description
A radiant being of energy. The form of this creature seems female, from the shape of hear incandecent body, and the long mane of black hair that cascades from her head, passing her shoulders. Through the translucent exterior, one can see the the dark shape of her skeleton, lurking underneath. She's clad scantily in plates of silvery armor. One piece of armor frames her featureless face, two plates cover her chest, with rings of the material around her arms legs and waist. On the waist of her armor, there's a manual dial, that Radium adjusts from time to time.

Origin
Not much is known about Radium's background. Rumor has it that she was an astronaut in China's space program who received a massive overdose of radiation during a space accident.

Powers
Essentially, she's a living fission reactor, capable of producing great amounts of light, heat, and radiation. She can radiate energy from her body, or project it in destructive blasts. The outfit that she wears consists of plates of a silver-indium-cadmium alloy which she uses to moderate her power levels through a device mounted on her belt (OIF). In her new form, Radium doesn't need to eat, sleep, breathe. She's immune to the effects of pressure, heat, cold, radiation, poison, and disease. While in captivity, she was held submerged in a tank of water with boric acid added, which seemed to lower her power levels and keep her dormant.

Personality
Not known.

Relations
Radium leads a small band of Chinese criminals. It's not clear if she has any relations outside of this group.

History
Radium first appeared in Colonial Bay as a leader of a stickup crew. She preyed on the operations of Colonial Bay's triad gangsters, namely the operations of Pride Tsien Leung and 'Smiling' Johnny Tseng. Eventually she ran afoul of Colonial Bay heroes and ended up locked in UEMS custody.
