Origin

Dominique Thiebaut was born into a royal family who ruled a small fictional European kingdom called Chalenne. Her great-grandfather, Aubrey II, had only one child, Marie. With her father's blessing, Marie married Jean-Michel Thiebaut, a colonel in the kingdom's army and later Prime Minister. Marie and Jean-Michel bore two children: one who died at a young age and the other, Patrick, who would later become Dominique's father. Patrick was less morally sound than his parents and obsessed with wealth and power. For political reasons, he married a shy girl named Claire. Their first child was a son, Michel. Two years later, Marie bore a second child but died during the process. They named the baby Dominique Aurore Marie Thiebaut, a meta-human who would later be known as Cyblade.

Typical of many royal children, Dominique was spoiled. Atypical of many children, she was a meta-human, or mutant. The first signs of Dominique's power manifested when she was attacked by armed gunmen at school. At that point, a group known as Cyberdata secretly began scouting her. Seeking to help protect his child, Dominique's father hired Madame Jocelyn to teach her martial arts and gymnastics. Under her strict tutelage, Dominique became an expert martial artist and gymnast who would settle for nothing short of perfection. Michel, and eventually Patrick, began to notice the changes in the once-cheery Dominique, but not before it was too late. Shortly after Patrick dismissed Jocelyn, Dominique's father and brother would meet tragic ends - ends that Dominique believed she could have prevented. Unbeknownst to Dominique, their apparent deaths were orchestrated by Cyberdata, and a member of the corporation attended the joint funeral.

After the deaths of her family, Dominique decided to leave her homeland and traveled to the Middle East. There, she studied to become a doctor while also serving as a freedom fighter. During a mission where she accompanied Madame Jocelyn, she suddenly blacked out. When she came to, she was informed that she had to have an emergency medical procedure that was provided by their employers, a company known as Cyberdata. In reality, Cyberdata had performed cybernetic surgery on Dominique to enhance her mutant abilities and to secretly implant a brain-box within her that would allow them to control her. They assigned her as a Special Hazardous Operations Cyborg (SHOC). From this point on, Dominique became known as Cyblade.

Major Story Arcs

Dominique Thiebaut has been leading a double life. By day, she's an awkward teenager with amazing power that she can barely control, being trained by the seemingly kind-hearted Cyberdata Corporation. By night, she's one of Cyberdata's best operatives. Wielding psychic energy to create explosive blades of energy, she's a specialist in wetwork ranging from thieving to assassination. The corporation's Brain Box technology, implanted directly in her cerebral cortex, keeps the personalities separate and her double life a secret from even herself. When an injury destroys the Brain Box, her handler, Steven Rashell, reveals the truth.

Rashell is part of a resistance that's infiltrated Cyberdata and has been trying to free the other cybernetically enhanced mutants. Now, Dominique must decide her own destiny. Rashell's plans are interrupted when Cyberdata sends an assassin after him. He narrowly escapes and leaves Dominique in the corporation's hands. Cyblade's first set of new orders, straight from the Director of Cyberdata, is to find and kill Rashell.

Cyberforce

While working for Cyberdata, Cyblade performed numerous missions for the group and eventually met two other members, Heatwave and Stryker. Both had discovered the atrocious crimes Cyberdata was committing and planned to leave the group and form their own. From them, Cyblade learned about the brain box in her head that allowed Cyberdata to control and manipulate her into committing villainous acts for the company's benefit. She let them remove the box and joined them to create Cyberforce.

Before leaving the company, Cyblade would find her long-thought-dead brother, Michel. She learned from Madame Jocelyn that Michel was also a mutant and was being conditioned to be a S.H.O.C. She also learned about her mentor's role in the death of her father. Enraged, Dominique attacked Jocelyn, only to learn the woman was also a cyborg. The fight between the two triggered an explosion just as Michel was coming to, and the explosion deformed the older Thiebaut. After this incident, Cyblade would oppose Cyberdata at all costs and join forces with Cyberforce.

Cyblade was instrumental in building Cyberforce. While with Cyberdata, she had become a very successful businesswoman, amassing a personal fortune. Coupled with her ties to royalty, she had significant wealth, which helped her secure resources for the group.

After the Devils Reign incident, where Heatwave sacrificed himself to stop Mephisto, Cyblade became leader of Cyberforce. She remained field leader until Cyberforce disbanded.

Powers and Abilities

Cyblade is a meta-human born with the ability to create and manipulate electromagnetic energy. The energy manifests itself through her fingertips where it can then be used to perform functions limited only to Cyblade's imagination. Most commonly she creates 'blades' of energy from one, or both, hands which have been shown to cut through various objects and reach up to 5000°C. She can also psionically control the energy to travel from her to any point that she can see, however the energy dissipates the further it travels. Thus, if she fired at someone 25 feet away they would be hit with the equivalent of 25,000 megawatts of power. But, if that person was was 2,500 feet away they would only be hit with 500 megawatts. Cyblade also is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in Aikido and Jeet Kun Do as well as the use of a sword. Her training coupled with her mutant ability allow Cyblade to be a dangerous threat both in melee and at range. She has also demonstrated tactical ability and leadership skills during brief tenures as the leader of Cyberforce.
