Birth Country: Egypt
Birth City: Alexandria
Occupation: Egyptologist
Group Affiliation: ANGEL Corps
Base of Operations: The Synidome
Character:
Origins: Being the daughter of
the Egyptian Prime Minister,
Rachid Ali Al-Taher and his wife,
Fayza Karim Al-Taher, requires a
delicate balance. But Nefertiri
Hadi Al-Taher grew up into a
respectful, diplomatic and demure
young lady and gained a deep
knowledge of Egyptology by
working closely with master
Egyptologist Hasni Bassir. During
the same window of time the
media later referred to as "The
Neogen Flux." Hasni arranged for
Nefertiri to travel to the city of Tell
Basta to accompany him on a
once-in-a-lifetime expedition to
explore a newly discovered
ancient temple dedicated to the
cat-goddess of war, Bastet,
written about by Herodotus in the
5th century. The pair was ecstatic
to encounter an enormous,
immaculate and ornate temple
surrounded by a huge stone wall,
all in mint condition. The temple’s
60 foot entrance, interior and
sides had been cleared by a team
under the management of Hassan
Ahmed Shafiq, one of Hasni’s
trusted associates. Upon
entering, Nefertiri and Hasni were
able to negotiate a labyrinthine
maze of passages and decipher a
complex panel of obscure
heiroglyphs. Pushing a final
keystone unlocked a huge
chamber containing a
breathtaking alabaster statue of
Bastet encrusted with priceless
gold, jewels and talismans.
Hassan and two cronies pulled
weapons and began stealing the
priceless items from the statue of
Bastet despite Nefertiri’s and
Hasni’s warnings. After they had
bagged a number of items, the
chamber roared sounding like a
huge feline and rumbled violently
as if an earthquake was triggering.
With Hassan knocked off-balance,
Nefertiri attempted to wrest the
gun from his hands but she and
Hasni were both shot in the
abdomen and left for dead. The
robbers fled the self-destructing
chamber with their loot to escape
the destruction as Hassan sealed
them in. Nefertiri was filled with
rage and cursed after them
swearing vengeance as the
temple continued to shake
violently. The statue of Bastet
toppled on top of Nefertiri,
trapping her beneath it as a large
golden ankh shaken from the
chest of the statue landed in her
dying hand. Imbedded glyphs
appeared to glow in her hand that
read, “Commit thy soul to
vanquishing your enemies and
know the fearsome power of
Bastet.” A stone wall collapsed
and sand began pouring in,
burying Nefertiri and Hasni alive
as the rumbling ceased. After a
couple of beats, the sands stirred
again and began retreating from
the chamber freeing both Nefertiri
and Hasni. Nefertiri emerged
completely changed and
commanding the powers of the
goddess, Bastet. She exited the
chamber and exacted revenge on
her would-be killers. She returned
to a wounded, unconscious Hasni
Bassir and transported him to the
nearest medical facility where he
eventually recovered. Nefertiri
returned the temple to the way it
was and re-buried it wholly under
the shifting sands of Egypt vowing
to exact vengeance on those
committing evil acts.
Powers: Nefertiri embodies the
spirit of Bastet, giving her access
to the power of the Egyptian cat-
goddess of war. This allows
Nefertiri to transform into Sahara,
affording her the Class 4
suprahuman level strength to
press 50 tons. She boasts Class 7
Megahuman reflexes, the fastest
category known. Sahara is nearly
impervious to injury and enjoys an
H16 Healing factor, the highest
order known. She also can
psionically generate and control
large volumes of super-heated
sand. This ability allows her to
supplement her own strength
even further and enables her
flight by allowing her to ride a
cloud of sand. Finally, Nefertiri can
will herself to transform partially
or entirely into a 6'4" tall and 12'4"
long ebony version of the largest
cat ever to walk the Earth, the
sabre-tooth felid. In this form she
can leap distances of 75 yards,
can climb up the sides of sheer
buildings and can utilize razor
sharp claws and 18-inch serrated
canines to puncture or shred
plated steel. These are made of a
substance approximating
disruptium, a metal that can short-
circuit energies on contact.
Strength Level Unassisted:
Class 1-A Baseline Human Range.
Level 3.
Can press 300 Lbs.
Strength Level Power-Assisted:
Class 4. Suprahuman Range.
Level 4.
Can press 50 tons.
Fighting Prowess: Though
Nefertiri has only had recent
training in martial arts, As Sahara
she can access the formidable
warrior skills from Bastet. This,
coupled with her Megahuman
level reflexes and resistance to
injury enable her to attack and
counter-attack with a high degree
of effectiveness.
Gear:
Standard Nanotech Armored
Protection Gear (SNAP-Gear),
Lightweight uniforming system
equipped with onboard computer
array, variable feed power
sources, life-support, networking
and armored protection. A voice-
activated onboard computer ties
into tactical local and wide-area
networks using a “heads-up”
holographic transparent 17-inch
display panel while it monitors its
wearer’s physiology. A shield
mode provides operatives head-
to-toe protection.
Adairian Adaptive memory
molecules enable SNAP-GEAR
uniforms to adapt to a host’s
application of wide arrays of
energies. SNAP-Gear is able to
transform into a small inventory of
various non-combat outfits pre-
loaded by its user.
ANGEL Com (Communications
Device), a neural transceiver
implant that responds to basic
cybernetic commands. The device
utilizes ultra- sophisticated
cerebellinguistic algorithm codes
to translate human languages.
Once set, the device automatically
translates and feeds languages or
dialects in one’s native tongue
directly into the ear with an
average translatability percentage
ratio of 94.6% for all known
language patterns.
