Biography
Early Years
When the government aimed to create their own living weapon, they developed a new genetic engineering technique to create a massively powerful human being. However, when the subject was born, some government employees switched the child with a still-born so that she could live without becoming a living weapon and was sent home with a new set of parents. Growing up as a Samantha Eve Wilkins, the child was raised unaware of his powers, becoming as an extremely talented student, even earning a scholarship to a prestigious school. What Samantha was unaware of was that this innate scientific knowledge was connected to her abilities, causing a mysterious man to warn her that if she were to continue demonstrating these abilities she may put herself in danger.
Atom Eve
What happened after is somewhat hazy, save that Samantha learned about her powers and decided to become an "after-school" superhero in her teens. Soon, she would learn about her origins and the people hunted her from a mysterious super-powered boy and the two teamed up to protect themselves from their enemies. The boy ended up joining her in a superhero career, calling himself Rex Splode (do to his powers to charge objects with explosive energy) and the two started a relationship.
