Her father was an explorer, or as some may say, a treasure hunter. He specialized in ancient sunken ships. There was a particular broach he brought back and gave to her.
The first thing she noticed was the x-ray vision. Suddenly, anything she wanted to see through, she did. Being a rather normal teen, she had a lot of fun with this around the locker rooms.
Then she noticed her body changing. She wasn't the only to notice, either. It wasn't so fast that she suddenlly became another person. But her body fat melted off, muscle tone improved, her... other assests gained size and shape. She was soon one of the most popular girls in school.
She ate it up, ate first. She basked in the attention and affection of her class mates. Then she realized that it was only physical charms that they were drawn to. They didn't care about her. Well, her true friends did, but not the hordes that now fought over her attention.
Then things got really weird. There was the flying and the heat vision and getting jumped by thugs and bullets bouncing off...
Over time she learned that the broach only harnessed power and transfered it to her. The source of her power was the sun. She soon designed a costume for herself, paying tribute one of the fallen heroes she had loved as a child. She took to the skies and the streets to honor the memories of the Heroes passed.
