Quoted!
She is considered to be one of the best thieves in the world, even back when she was just a teenager.
Reputation
As a teenager, she was once the Hellfire Club's premier thief-for-hire, already pulling that kind of work at such a young age. Sebastian Shaw's duplicity, however, caused the young thief to make a break, never one to suffer being strung on a tight leash, causing her to steal from Stark Industries and the Hellfire Club and somehow coming out on top.
Biography
Glitch's past is a mystery, even to herself. Ignorant of whatever caused her to lose her memories, she is driven by the desire, above all, to figure out who she is.
All that is really known about her are her talents as a master thief; in her teens, she was already considered to be one of the best thieves in the world, popping up here and there and occasionally partnering up with a few notorious characters. In one of these excursions, she ended up meeting an infamous mutant when he sought her out to assist him with a spot of trouble in Cape Town, South Africa - details of which are unknown but to the two of them.
She was later recruited by Sebastian Shaw of the Hellfire Club, acting as their premier thief-for-hire, the arrangement secured by the promise that he has information regarding her missing life, which she has resolved to obtain at all costs. However, after a few other jobs, when Glitch demanded what was due her, Sebastian reneged on their agreement and intended to keep her under the Club's thumb by using it as leverage to secure her compliance. Incensed, she agreed to Sebastian's proposal to steal a dangerous piece of technology from Stark Industries; Sebastian was developing a prototype much like it, and wanted her to obtain Tony Stark's prototype so he could be assured of his invention's superiority. After breaking in and successfully fighting off Iron Man by short-circuiting his famous suit, Glitch was able to make off with the stolen StarkTech.
However, unbeknownst to Shaw, days before her Stark Industries heist, Glitch broke into the aforementioned infamous mutant's then-safehouse to collect on the favor he owed her after the Cape Town job, and convinced him to convince Tony to pay the Hellfire Club a visit. While the two ended up causing a ruckus after Stark confronted Shaw about his stolen tech, Glitch was able to steal the information she wanted from Shaw and after a fight among Shaw, his people, the mutant and Iron Man, they managed to escape. To secure Tony's goodwill, Glitch offered him not only his tech back, but also Shaw's prototype before vanishing to parts unknown.
Character Details
A crafty, sassy opportunist. While Glitch exhibits the kind of charming personality that can't help but make friends, her ambitious drive and singleminded need to obtain whatever she wants or is hired to get can make enemies out of those friends just as quickly. She also demonstrates a decidedly stubborn and independent streak, reluctant to be beholden to anyone, liable to push away those who try to reach out to her and infinitely prefers to strike out on her own.
Thief's Disruption |
Through touch or will, Glitch can disrupt anything with wheels, cogs, tumblers, gears or circuits, enabling her to interfere with, bypass and break into anything that uses such methods for security within a certain radius. Compared to the likes of other powerful beings on the planet, it is a very simple ability, but extremely useful in an age that has become increasingly dependent on technology. |
Thief's Agility |
Glitch is extremely agile and a great acrobat; while certainly below the likes of Nightwing and others, she is fast and nimble enough to jump and climb great heights as well as dodge blows and bullets. |
Thief's Tricks |
Given her missing past, all she has, really, is her profession, so it's understandable that she has resolved to be an expert in her trade despite her relatively young age. She relies on everything and anything anyone would expect from a master thief - lockpicking, escape artistry and confidence games, to name a few. She is no stranger to deception to get what she wants and is able to give the likes of Sebastian Shaw the runaround. |
Thief's Tongue |
Glitch can be very persuasive, especially when she has a plan and is driven to get what she wants by any means necessary. Her travels have also increased her language skills; she knows enough French, Spanish, Cantonese, Afrikaans and Arabic to get by. |
Thief's Combat |
Much like her stealth, nobody knows who trained her to fight, either, but she is capable enough in that regard to hold her own alongside such infamous figures as Iron Man when she was just a teenager. Her travels to bolster her international reputation, adaptability and increasing levels of experience have only seen plenty of improvements in that arena. |
Thief's Stealth |
Nobody knows who taught her, but Glitch's stealthiness is comparable to a trained ninja's. She's able to sneak into an occupied, secured room while she herself is being monitored, vanish without a trace in open daylight and is able to sneak into the rooms of dangerous individuals who make it a point to notice such intrusions. |
Thief's Wanderlust |
Cultivating an international reputation makes traveling around the world necessary. Glitch has been to many countries. |
Thief's Knowledge |
She is knowledgeable in the workings of the international criminal underworld and its black market, especially regarding how stolen goods are fenced, forged, exchanged, transported and resold. |
Thief's Reputation |
She was already one of the best thieves in the world even as a teenager; according to a few infamous persons, easily one of its top five or three. This enables her to charge top dollar for any job that comes her way. |
Thief's Network |
She has amassed a few notable contacts in her relatively young life and was once the Hellfire Club's premier thief-for-hire until Sebastian Shaw pissed her off by reneging on their agreement. |
Stolen Memories |
Glitch literally cannot remember anything about her life beyond four years ago and while she would never admit it to anyone, she is desperate enough to find anything about who she is that she is willing to do anything and work for anyone for a single hint. |
Stolen Trust |
She is a lone wolf and prefers to work alone, though she will occasionally work with others in exchange for money or favors…and she always collects. |
Stolen Boundaries |
She will do anything and everything to get what she wants, especially for something that she wants desperately enough, and this tendency has seen her gamble with her life on several occasions without thinking things through and often runs the risk of making very powerful enemies along the way. |
- Mutant? So is she!
- Law enforcement? She can be the Lupin to your Zenigata.
- Part of the Hellfire Club? She used to be, until Shaw ruined everything.
- Affiliated with Stark Industries? She and Tony go way back! …after a fashion.
- Need something stolen? She's your gal.
- In the same trade? She is open for any rivalries and related shenanigans.

Trivia
- She is a mutant, and given her memory loss, has no idea who taught her how to steal or control her gifts.
- She was only a teenager when she ran into Tony Stark (ie. stole a very dangerous prototype). One misadventure with the Hellfire Club later, he offered her training and recruitment to the Avengers, which she declined.

GLITCH
I never thought there were people like me
Just a little bit dark we like it harder
Don't mind if the sky is grey
You know we even kinda never like it that way
Never knew it could feel like this
My thoughts are twisted, wrong and wicked
Always knew that I wasn't the only one
I've found you, let's have some fun
Calling me strange gives me confidence
Cause I take it as a compliment
Maybe I'll change my evil ways
Stop taking shots one of these days
I'll settle down, I'll rearrange
Maybe I'll learn from my mistakes
Stop breaking hearts, forgetting names
I'll settle down, and act my age
One of these days… but not today!
