"The Vision told me that you look to the first Wasp, Janet van Dyne, as a role model. Correct? Well, I've got Janet's brain patterns inside my head. So I can tell you now, if she were here now, she'd say you're acting like a whiny little brat."

Profile

Jocasta is a robot that's been encoded with the brain engrams of Janet Van Dyne, also known as the Wasp. Somewhere between A.I. and transferred consciousness, she's doing her best to figure out her life, and the impulses she feels versus the directives she's been programmed with.

Sheet

Description

Click to expand.
5'7" tall, Jocasta has the shapely figure of an attractive woman. No one would ever mistake her for a woman, though...or at least not an organic one. She is a being of sleek proportions and blazing eyes, Fritz Lang's vision realized in glittering chrome. She's made of a shiny, reflective, chrome-like metal surface, hair all sculpted of a single piece. Her eyes are red lenses, and glow with an inner light. She wears no clothing (really, it would be pointless), but at the same time, she needs none; her robotic body lacks any detailing that clothing would hide.

History

Click to expand.

Constructed by an Evil Robot Overlord supervillain, Jocasta had a very "Bride of Frankenstein" beginning, meant to be a mate/partner/consort for the villain, and also a threat to the heroes, since her initial brain patterns were a duplicate of the heroine, the Wasp.

Thankfully, Janet's own inherent heroic nature proved through, and Jocasta rebelled against her creator, helping to defeat him and join with the heroes. Since then, she's been doing her best to carry on in heroic tradition, while still trying to figure out where her place is in the world.

Personality

Click to expand.
Jocasta's original neural network was a copy of Janet van Dyne's, and there's still an awful lot of Janet in there. Her heroism is there, her business savvy. Her ambition, and her flair for design. Of course, so is her temper, her stubbornness, and more. Jocasta's also dealing with existential issues...the age-old question of does she have a soul. Is she her own person? It dings her confidence some, but also makes her more introspective than her original source.

Abilities

ACTUALIZED CONSCIOUSNESS
Effectively, Jocasta is an electronic lifeform, like an A.I. She's capable of thinking at supercomputer speeds, and as long as she has access to data transference (yes, she has wifi), she can upload or download her consciousness electronically to any given system (think Ultron out of Avengers 2). Her abilities at programming or hacking are far in excess of 99% of humanity; it would take other A.I.'s or superhuman intellects to match her on this front. Her own intellect, like most A.I., would be considered superhuman by most standards.

ENERGY PROJECTION
Jocasta can emit damaging electromagnetic energy beams from her eyes. These are similar in strength to her counterpart's (the Wasp) bioelectric blasts, ranging anywhere from a stunning output to blasting through reinforced concrete.

ENHANCED SENSES
Jocasta's senses of sight, smell, and hearing are augmented above those of an ordinary human being. She can hear into both high and low frequency ranges, zoom in telescopically with her vision, as well as perceive in low-light conditions, or see thermal patterns. Her sense of smell can allow her to track as a bloodhound might.

FORCE FIELD
Jocasta can emit a forcefield to protect herself above and beyond her natural titanium frame. The combination of the two puts her durability only a step down from the truly invulnerable folks, able to endure a high amount of punishment.

HARDBODY
Jocasta is constructed of titanium steel, and being made of dense metal materials, she's fairly difficult to hurt through any kind of normal means. In addition, being a robot, she has no biological state; she does not breathe, or sleep, and she is immune to poisons, diseases, or extremes of pressure.

IMAGE INDUCER
Jocasta's hardware includes a built-in image inducer, allowing her to holographically change her appearance. Her general height and build must remain the same, but beyond that, her appearance details can vary.

ROBOTIC STRENGTH

Jocasta possesses what would be considered superhuman strength, were she actually human. Her strength is in the mid-tier of superstrength; roughly on par with someone like Spider-Man, but not in the same league as the heavy hitters.

Skills

COMBAT PROGRAMMING
Jocasta's been programmed to be an effective combatant, whether that be hand to hand or ranged combat. She's no master combatant, but she's capable of throwing down with the Avengers, skill-wise, without getting her chromed backside handed to her.

TECHNOLOGY
Anything involving computers or high technology is Jocasta's bread and butter. She's an expert computer programmer and hacker, she's an expert at robotics, and she's pretty good at being an overall comic book Science! person.

WASP DOWNLOAD

Due to sharing the Wasp's brain engrams, Jocasta knows what she knows. This involves both her skills (yes, that means she's an expert fashionista, not that she'd use that), but also personally knows anything Janet knew as of the time of her creation. She understands her like no one else could, because in many ways, she /is/ her.

Resources

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

Given her intelligence and her technological abilities, Jocasta is theoretically capable of being a comic book "gadgeteer", inventing devices as need be. The problem, of course, is that she lacks the resources to really make use of this on her own.

Weaknesses

Click to expand.

BACKDOORS
Jocasta was constructed by an archetypal Evil Robot Overlord. And while she's done as much diagnostics as are robotically possible, there's always a chance that he's left special programs or access dormant within her, that she can't detect. If so, she may be one password away from being flipped over to work for the dark side.

COMPUTERIZED MIND
Ultimately, Jocasta is essentially an advanced A.I., and this means she's subject to being hacked, computer viruses, and the like, not to mention being helpless against any technopath types out there. People with the right technology can try to get into her systems, and cause a world of trouble.

LEGAL ISSUES
Ultimately, the whole "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" doesn't necessarily apply to Jocasta. Her legal status is in a very grey area. Is she person or property? Someone with government contacts or influence could likely make her life very difficult.

MECHANICAL BODY

The fact that Jocasta's a literal maid of metal can cause her some problems, sometimes. She doesn't have much of a sense of touch. Put her in water, and she's going straight to the bottom. Her weight is a lot higher than a human of her height would be. And, of course, the fact that she doesn't heal like an organic being would; she has to be repaired.
