First Post-Reboot Appearance: SENSATIONAL SPIDER-WOMAN #
History: Little is known about the past of the mutant criminal known as Dragoness. What she has described has not yet been verified. According to her own account, Tammy Kurtz was a mutant who discovered her powers in her teens, but never used them for anything of note. She spent several years laboring in the Los Angeles area warehouse for one of the largest online retail outlets in the world before she was abducted by a mad scientist who grafted a set of bionic wings to her skeleton and nervous system.
She was first seen robbing an armored car and attempting to fly off with two duffel bags filled with cash before she was intercepted by Spider-Woman, who had witnessed the robbery. Although she flew away during the fracas, she was forced to leave behind one of the bags. Spider-Woman tracked her to her destination, the underground laboratory of criminal scientist Dr. Karl Malus, presumably the scientist who had "gifted" Dragoness with her wings. The two women fought, causing an electrical fire in the lab with their combined electric blasts; Dragoness flew away with Dr. Malus in her arms as Spider-Woman worked to put out the fire.
Dragoness was later seen alongside Dr. Malus's other test subjects turned henchmen – Armadillo, Angar the Screamer, and the misshapen Misfit – as they worked together in protecting him during a later encounter with Spider-Woman. Apparently feeling disgusted with themselves, Armadillo and Dragoness turned on Malus, resulting in Malus's arrest, as well as their own.
Dragoness was later seen tending the bar at the Los Angeles Bar With No Name, an establishment for the costumed criminal element to network and relax; presumably she was out on bail or the charges dropped. Whether this was a temporary gig between criminal endeavors or a permanent change of occupation is yet to be seen.
Age: 26.
Height: 5' 7".
Weight: 130 lbs.
Eyes: Hazel.
Hair: Auburn.
Other Distinguishing Features: Dragoness possesses large bionic wings, spanning fifteen feet when fully extended, surgically attached to her shoulder blades, and her fingers end in sharp claws. The wings possess a large spike on each of the "wrists" (roughly where the thumb would be on a hand).
Uniform: Green scaled long sleeved shirt which bares the midriff, green scaled tights, green gloves, green boots, metallic purple bracers, metallic purple utility belt, metallic gold winged half-mask with a red visor. Presumably she owns a variation which covers her entire body for slightly cooler climates.
Strength Level: Dragoness possesses the normal human strength of a woman of her age, height, and build who engages in moderate regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: Dragoness is a mutant who naturally generates intense levels of bioelectricity. She is able to shoot bolts of electricity which can incapacitate or kill a person. She is also able to sheathe her hands in her bioelectricity to deliver these effects by touch.
Her bionic wings enable her to fly at speeds up to 60 mph, providing enough lift to permit her to carry at least her own body weight aloft. The wings are designed to be as light and strong as possible; the framework extending from her back is composed of an advanced non-ferrous alloy composed of magnesium and titanium, among other materials, with a gold-titanium alloy used at the shoulder blades, and membranes composed of an experimental aluminum-treated polymer. The edges of the wings and the spikes on the wings' wrists are sharpened, allowing her to cut or stab with them as needed. Her wings act and react as if a natural part of her body. Apparently, her wings are powered off her body's own mutant bioelectricity.

Role-Playing Notes:
Dragoness is currently only a criminal through circumstance. She isn't greedy, but due to her situation is not one to turn down a job, despite the legality or lack of. She doesn't hate Spider-Woman (yet), but isn't willing to let herself be captured by the adventurer.
