History

Felicia Adams was born an albino with the ability to "understand" and manipulate machines. Her electricity absorption powers are usually used to boost (or suppress) and are then channeled through the machines she controls. She has insecurities about her looks and usually is reserved when meeting new people. High acclaim from colleagues and mentors alike in the engineering industry has done wonders to her self confidence.

She graduated under the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's MEng program with a full scholarship. Her thesis on robotics and artificial intelligence was impressive but it was her design work that was truly ground breaking and got her noticed by many interested manufacturing design companies, most notably by Stark Industries. She knew of Tony Stark even before meeting him; his reputation - both academically and socially at MIT - was (and still is) legendary.

After graduation, she started her own company, The Workshop, a small but highly paid design and manufacturing company, secretly specializing in military defense equipment. Her miniaturized design of the military's weapons of mass destruction detection equipment for Stark Industries got her noticed. Her working hand-held prototype got her both the huge contract and a face-to-face meeting with the infamous Tony Stark.

Second only to Tony, she headed the design team for Stark International. As a member of his Initiative team, she registered under the Superhuman Registration Act. However the Initiative's, and ultimately Tony's, refusal to lend aid to people in need forced her to choose a side: she chose one.

She is Phoenix 6's second-in-command. Her power armor is one of her greatest creations. The Skrull virus destroyed her original design but now has an even more powerful and more technologically advanced power armor, especially since the end of the Secret Invasion helped Synergy learn Skrull technology to further enhance her own designs. Her sudden death at the hands of the Shi’ar Death Commando Warshot only served to free Synergy's consciousness from her human body. She immediately merged with the Shi’ar network and would later rejoin the Phoenix 6 team when they escaped the Shi’ar.

Synergy has extensive knowledge of Skrull technology and that of the Shi'ar, whose known technology encompasses the numerous worlds it has conquered over the generations.

Powers

Synergy can fully animate and control machines, to the point of physically manipulating them into becoming robots. She has been known to take full control of more than one machine and can sustain a datalink over a control machine over a distance of 2000 miles. She could also intuitively create almost any device because of her ability to understand and control machines. In her human body, she also had the ability to detect and absorb a moderate amount of energy which she usually used to boost her powers and that of the power armor she controlled.

Abilities

Genius-level intelligence that augments her powers over machines and her ability to design and invent a range of devices.

Equipment

Her power armor, originally of Stark technologies and her design, is her most prized creation. After its initial destruction, it is now a combination of her own and that of alien technology she has recently been exposed to. The armor is generally fitted with communication systems; EMP protection; force field; universal translator; a combat computer with an integrated weapons systems; enhanced abilities and senses; and flight, including space flight. The armor’s offensive ranged and melee weaponry include a flamethrower, light machine gun, energy net, gattling gun, mini-missiles, boom gun, tractor beam, retractable blades, and brass knuckles.
