My idea for Cyber-Woman is that she's a security guard for this big company called FutureTech (which could have a very big presence in this universe and be involved in lots of stories) that's working with the government to develop a nanotech weapon, which can assimilate enemy technology and allow them to remotely hijack it. What ends up happening is that, while the project is still in its early stage and the nanobots they have are still very unstable, armed thieves break into the facility to try and steal it. Security guard Amanda Ramirez stands up against the thieves, only to be riddled with bullets and sent flying through a glass window into a chamber containing the unstable nanobots, which assimilate her body and fuse into her, turning her into a mix of human and machine. My idea for the series is that we focus on an already transformed Amanda, who is this inhuman killing machine being used by FutureTech to take out their enemies. Eventually, her memories start to come back to her, and her origin is revealed little by little. By the end of the first story arc, she regains her humanity, and turns against FutureTech's corrupt CEO, who we could set up to become a major supervillain later on. It might seem like a generic cyborg hero story, but I have a lot of ideas for the series later on down the line. I like the idea that Amanda has a very fun and easy-going personality before being transformed, so it's jarring to see her as this emotionless robot at the start of the story but see how she used to be during the flashbacks, and eventually she tries to go back to her normal life, but she can never be 100% who she used to be.

Her powers would include enhanced strength, invulnerability, electric blasts, the power to generate an electromagnetic pulse, and the ability to connect and interface with certain machines through her mind. I like the idea that her mind is connected to the internet, and that makes it easy for her to access information or hack into databases and stuff. I also have a few ideas for her supporting characters and rogues, but nothing too fleshed out yet.
