She has impersonated Mockingbird, Dinah Soar and Lodestone. Occupation: Full time hero, former criminal and professional wrestler. Current group affiliation: Thunderbolts Past group affiliations: Grapplers Major enemies: Baron Zemo II, Lightning Rods, Scourge IX. First appearance: Marvel Two-In-One #54 Origin: Description: Melissa is an attractive woman in her mid 20's with red hair that has white streaks. She is 5'5'' tall and weighs 145 lbs. History: Melissa Gold grew up in a trailer park in Shoshoni, Wyoming. She ran away from home at an early age because of her abusive father and friends, and her mother being in jail. She took on the tough persona of Mimi to protect herself from the hard life on the streets (Thunderbolts Distant Rumblings #1). Mimi became one of the Grapplers, female pro wrestlers who turned to costumed crime. She received bionically enhanced vocal powers from Roxxon Oil, while most of the other members of the Grapplers received stregnth augmention treatments. After unsuccessful bouts with heroes such as the Thing, Quasar III, Giant-Man II and Dazzler, the Grapplers went back to the wrestling circuit full-time. She joined the female devision of the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation (Thing #33). Mimi continued her criminal career, though, briefly joining the dreaded Masters of Evil before embarking on an equally brief partnership with similarly empowered super-crook Angar the Screamer. Mimi was among the super-powered women who attacked Captain America and Paladin abord the S.S. Superia (Captain America #390). Mimi joined several other former Masters of Evil under Baron Zemo II in assuming new identities as the supposedly super-heroic Thunderbolts team. Thus disguised, Mimi is now known as Songbird. As Songbird she was instrumental in helping the Thunderbolts defeat the Elements of Doom II (Thunderbolts #8). Crimson Cowl III then offered the team the option to join her Masters of Evil VI, and gave them time to think about it. With the Thunderbolts, Songbird helped stop a bank robbery in Boulder, Colorado and were approached from some kids who escaped from Burton Canyon. They reported that an army called the Imperial Forces had taken over the town and no one would help. The Thunderbolts infultrated the town and were confronted with Charcoal the Burning Man. After allowing themselves to be captured in civilian identities, Moonstone II snuck in with their costumes and they broke out the other captives and fought Charcoal. During the fight the Masters arrived told them they had to make up their minds soon about joining them, and Charcoal escaped (Thunderbolts #19). Melissa was able to fineally gain a pardon thanks to a deal cut by Hawkeye, but under the agreement that he gave up his armor and agreed to avoid heroic activities. She and MACH-2 left the Thunderbolts together (Thunderbolts #50). Note: In the Avengers Forever limited series, a Songbird from a possible future joins in a quest to protect Rick Jones from Immortus. In the future she is from she is a member of the Avengers. She appears similar to the Songbird of the Thunderbolts, but her belt buckle has an A instead of a lightning bolt on it. Powers: The Grapplers' first major criminal employer, Roxxon Oil, had its' scientists surgically alter Mimi to give her superhuman vocal powers. Her screams could produce deafening sound, stun listeners into unconsciousness with hypersonic vibrations, or cause her victims to experience terrifying hallucinations. When she combined her powers with those of Angar, the duo were able to produce realistic illusions by harmonizing their screams. After Angar's death, she screamed until her voice box was destroyed. As Songbird, Melissa has a bionic throat that, when combined with a special harness designed by Techno that immitate the powers of Klaw, master of sound, creating of solidified sound constructs. These constructs last only so long as Songbird concentrates her scream upon them, and are usually rather simple forms such as spheres, shields, nets and pincers. Her skill with these constructs continues to increase and she can maintain several at one time. Her most common sound construct is a set of wings that enables her to fly. Mimi is also an experienced wrestler, though she relies more on her mouth than her muscles since obtaining her vocal powers. Now that the Thunderbolts no longer use the V Jet for transportation of it's non-flying members, Songbird often carries her teammates Jolt II and Atlas on a disk of sound while flying under her own power.
