History
Poundcakes is one of the original Grapplers, a small group of female wrestlers organized by a former wrestling star in her 40s, Auntie Freeze. The Grapplers (Titania I, Letha, Screaming Mimi) were well known for their colorful personalities and ringside antics, but the wrestling federations siphoned off most of their profits. Titania I was approached by the covert ops division of Roxxon, who wanted to employ them ; the Grapplers agreed and received unique weapons from Roxxon ; for Poundcakes, those were her seismatic boots. The four women were to accompany the female warrior Thundra for a mission against Project : Pegasus. The mission was a failure, and they were imprisoned. While they were in prison, the union of female wrestlers against the federation's greed had lost its momentum, and they again had a cash flow problem. They resorted to various illicit practices to earn money, but were never caught during this period.
At that point, Auntie Freeze negotiated a female division within the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, a wrestling federation for the superhumanly strong. Like most persons associated with the UCWF, she was contacted by the Power Broker, a firm having developed a process which could greatly boost STR and BODY in 50% of cases... and turn the subject in an hideous, super strong freak if it doesn't work. The four original Grapplers nevertheless subjected themselves to the treatment and, by an amazing stroke of luck, all four survived the treatment intact. This allowed her to participate to the UCWF matches, which were attracting megabucks.
Poundcakes nevertheless occasionally takes some shady jobs to supplement her income.
