Krista Dobbins, aka Rapunzelle was sent to the show as a publicity stunt by her agent. Long considered the "Most beautiful Mutant in the world", and noted for her performance in the 1988 Olympics (she was performing at the age of 15 and her mutant powers hadn't surfaced), Krista lended some celebrity to the show. The fact that her "Living Hair" actually has performed surprisingly well in a superheroic setting has come as a huge surprise to everyone involved. The trainers have challenged her to use her abilities for more than quick hairstyle changes. She's among the most popular contenders and actually is considering truely becoming a heroine rather than go back to being a model walking diva. As Rapunzelle (her stage name), Krista has been a popular model for the last sixteen years; capitalizing from her bronze medal in the olympics. She has been coddled and pampered all her life. She is proud of her good looks (since until now that is what has been her life), and can come off as shallow and vain. Deep down inside she knows that she has always been fortunate, that life has been very good to her and perhaps she has an obligation to make life better for others. She has always been generous with her money and her image, helping out various charities, but she rarely takes a personal interest in them. This superhero thing has been surprisingly exciting and she might even give it a serious go. "Does this go with my eyes? Perhaps if you looked me in the eyes you could tell better?" An attractive woman with skill extendable, superhumanly strong and prehensile hair. All kidding aside, she can be fairly effective against the more normal criminals. She often binds them in her hair and allows her team mates to smash on them. Her hair is very tough and grows very quickly if cut. She hasn't cut her hair in twelve years, but she has enough contol of it to affect various hairstyles instantaneously; some even defy physics. To weaken Rapunzelle simply lower her Hair's strength. To improve her, add some other hair tricks, perhaps some martial arts or a few gadgets from allies. A stunning young woman with golden blonde hair and blue eyes. She is the Champions Universe representative in the Janet Van Dyne Costume-An-Issue contest; her current one is a rather daring red bodysuit with no sleeves, french cut thighs, a plunging neckline, and golden lace on her cleavage. She wears golden fishnet stockings, golden thigh high boots with black soles, and golden long gloves with black trim at the top.
