Background

Jules came to Gate City in 1980 to work construction building skyscrapers. She was working as a "skywalker" on the Helios Tower near the Gate when an unexpected energy surge from the Gate lashed out and enveloped her.

The energy surge transformed her body's atoms into an organic-metallic capacitance material. She gained great durability, enhanced strength, and the ability to absorb small amounts of energy and translate that into greater strength.

At first, Jules continued to work construction – until the villain known as Ms. Magnonymous the Mistress of Magnetism attempted a theft from the completed floors of the Helios Tower. Jules was able to defeat Ms. Magnonymous and prevent the theft. The villain never forgave Jules, and Ms. Magnonymous has repeatedly targeted Jules for revenge over the years.

Over time, Jules has become a "Gate City supers commentor" – she does media hits on radio, TV, and now social media news outlets talking about superhero news in Gate City (think the equivalent of a US Baseball 'analyst' who goes on shows to analyze baseball games, baseball players, and the business of baseball).

She's affable and upbeat. She's always had a "can do" attitude, and a marked inability to assess risk to herself, and a marked inability to see her own limitations.​
