Powers/Abilities: The "Sniper
Chick" was inexplicably unaffected
by Kiden Nixon's ability to freeze time and could move freely within
the frozen
time as Kiden did. She was also skilled in the use of a sniper rifle,
chemically
drugged syringes and other firearms. She was also able to see and
communicate
with the ghostly spirit of Nick Nixon.
History:
(NYX:
No Way Home#4 (fb) - BTS) - Following the "Tattoo
Man"'s death, the "Sniper Chick" placed a card telling Kiden and the
others where
to find her on the "Tattoo Man"'s body.
(NYX:
No Way Home#4) - While Kiden
Nixon used her powers to search for
more clues to Cameron Palmer's kidnapping, the "Sniper
Chick" watched
Kiden retrieve the card she left on the "Tattoo Man." Later, when Kiden
snuck out
of Dr. Cecilia Reyes' apartment to follow the instructions on the card,
the
"Sniper Chick" confronted her, gloating at her manipulating of Kiden.
After Kiden
demanded to know where Cameron was, "Sniper Chick" prepared to punch
Kiden and
Kiden used her powers, only to find that the "Sniper Chick" was
unaffected. The "Sniper Chick" then punched Kiden in the face, warning that she would
have to do
better than that. She then revealed that it was her job to teach Kiden,
warning
Kiden that she was much harder to kill than the Tattoo Man. She then
gave Kiden
a business card for Empire State University and a photo of the tortured
Cameron
Palmer, walking off and leaving Kiden with that information. Returning
to her
headquarters, the "Sniper Chick" told Kiden's father Nick that everything
was
going as planned.
(NYX:
No Way Home#5) - After Kiden
and her friends left Dr. Reyes' apartment, the "Sniper Chick" watched
as
an
undercover cop staked out Cameron Palmer's apartment, reporting her
findings to
her father/boss. When Kiden left her friends behind to meet the "Sniper
Chick" at
Empire State University, the "Sniper Chick" met Kiden and once again
reminded her
that her kidnapping of Cameron Palmer was all to teach Kiden to
survive. After
Kiden managed to elbow her, the "Sniper Chick" drugged her and brought
her to her
headquarters for torture. She shortly thereafter captured Bobby Soul,
Tatiana
Caban and Lil' Bro as well. Checking on Bobby and prepping him for
torture, the "Sniper Chick" next checked on Tatiana, offering her a
chance to survive
then
leaving her to think about her offer. "Sniper Chick" next met with the
ghostly
Nick Nixon, who reminded her that Bobby was ready for torture. With
"Sniper Chick" distracted with Bobby, Nick appeared to Kiden, reminding
her that
he was
there for her.
(NYX:
No Way Home#6) - Returning
to Tatiana, the "Sniper Chick" gave Tatiana a gun and tried to push
Tatiana into
killing her. In an effort to push Tatiana to a breaking point, the "Sniper Chick"
shot the ground, causing a splinter to slice her across the face. A
hallucinating Tatiana eventually pulled the trigger on the gun,
thinking she
had killed the "Sniper Chick", but "Sniper Chick" reminded her that Tatiana
was
still drugged and had only hallucinated the "Sniper Chick"'s death.
Surprised
that Tatiana pulled the trigger, the "Sniper Chick" accused Tatiana of
being a
killer then left to check on Kiden, whom she attempted to turn against
her
father by teasing at Nick Nixon's involvement in her capture. When Nick
ordered
her out of the room, the "Sniper Chick" claimed that he had ten minutes
to say
what he needed to say but before she could leave, the "Sniper Chick" was
punched
in the face by Tatiana, who had assumed the "Sniper Chick"'s form using
the blood
left on the floor from the "Sniper Chick"'s earlier face injury.
Realizing that Lil'
Bro had led Tatiana there, the "Sniper Chick" angrily accused Nick of
lying about
Lil' Bro's powers just before a dragon psychically summoned by Lil' Bro
bit "Sniper Chick"'s head off. Tatiana and Bobby then freed Kiden and Cameron
Palmer.
As they escaped to leave Cameron Palmer at Memorial Hospital, Nick
Nixon spoke
with the "Sniper Chick"'s boss, who was also her father, and asked why
the boss
did not seem grieved that his daughter had died. The boss replied that
he had
other children and her life was worth seeing what Lil' Bro was capable
of.
