I decided to join in on the character-writing frenzy and started with one of my favorite characters, one I played on an online game for a couple of years. Alicia Vega, aka Alley Cat, was originally written up using M&M.
The game was set in Chicago at a high school that contained a disproportionate number of super-powered teens in its student body. Alicia was the token "bad girl" and I enjoyed exploring her background and interacting with the other characters in the game.
I could easily write pages detailing her history and personality, but I figured I'd spare you the pain. But, in case you wondered, the retired superhero in her character sheet was the campaign's equivalent to Captain America.
Alley-Cat is a real great character. She'd make a great member for a team of government super-ops or a team of starter superheroes like first year X-Men.

Funny you should mention that. When the campaign wrapped up, we went through a bout of "where are they now" stories for our characters.
For Alicia, I wrote a couple of stories where the gang attempts revenge by targeting her mom and she adopts a vigilante persona (Payback, as in "Payback's a b***h, and she's looking for you.") to fight back. Afterward, she gets recruited by her former mentor to join a government-sponsored team with a schoolmate.
And the artwork was part of the inspiration for the character.
Good defense (X7 vs melee), concept, and picture. With all of the skills you're taking, you might consider increasing her mind stat if it fits the character.
