Elemental Control Linked to the Growth means that she only gets the Armor equal to the level of Growth she is at. No Resistance when it is off, 1 point of Armor for one level of Growth, and all the way up to 10 points of Armor for 10 levels of Growth. She gets her Damage Reduction if she has any amount of Growth activated. She must Concentrate to change her size. When she activates her Growth her Running increases 1'' for each level of Growth, and Swimming increases 1'' for every two levels of Growth. The low Activation roll on her Armor in the Focus represents how little of her body her Span-XX swimsuit covers. History: Carol Heisler was born in Yuma, Arazona on January 12th, 1919. She became a biochemist. Doctor Carol Heisler, an elderly brunette, was one of the researchers on the V-47 formula which the government wanted modified to create more paranormals. She-Cat, Stardust and Synn were on hand to witness as Dr. Heisler tested the new compound on herself. She started experiencing a strong and painful reaction to the formula. At this time, Joan Wayne, Ms. Victory, was in her rebellious Rad persona and her daughter, Jennifer Burke, was taking up the mantle of Ms. Victory. Across town from Dr. Heisler's experiment, Jennifer awakened to the sound of a loud explosion. She became Ms. Victory to investigate and discovered the Femforce battered and beaten amid the rubble of the government complex. Jennifer was told that Dr. Heisler was now gone from the complex and rampaging out of control. When Ms. Victory caught up with her, Dr. Heisler, who had become physically larger, youthful and silver-haired, unleashed bolts of raw energy at her. Jennifer was forced to take her out with an extremely powerful single blow. Unfortunately, when Dr. Heisler revived, she grew to gigantic proportions. She then had even more immense power to accompany her mindless rage. Utilizing a powerful combined attack, all the Femforce members were able to make Dr. Heisler expend all of the V-47 in her system, which returned the good doctor to normal (Femforce #30). Later, after recovering, Dr. Heisler continued her government research. One morning, however, she was unwillingly subjected to an electro-stimulation experiment which caused her to again grow to titanic proportions, become even more powerful than before and begin another mindless rampage. She dove into the sea to escape. Her powers had given her the power to heal and enabled her to adapt to her environment and mutate into a giant sea creature (Femforce #32). After being shot with energy rays during a kidnapping eventually foiled by the Femforce, Dr. Heisler, who by that time resembled a large whale, transformed back into a human of giant proportions. She eventually learned to resume normal size with meditation. When the Volusa County Beach Rangers noticed a rash of women disappearing from their beaches, all of who looked much like Carol, they called Garganta in to investigate. Carol let herself be used as bait and was kidnapped by a slavery ring. Garganta then apprehended the slavers and turned them in to the Coastguard (Femforce #114). Powers: Garganta has the ability to grow from her normal height to up to 60 feet tall by concentrating. As she grows she becomes extraordinarily strong and tough, and can run faster. At full height she can lift about 160 tons. Because her powers would destroy normal clothes, she wears a bikini made of the adaptable Span-XX material, which protects what little of her body it covers. She is empathic. Garganta can breath under water. Garganta used to display the ability to fire beams of energy, but lost that power. Character created by AC Comics. Champions rules conversion by Mathew R.
