Professor Flam

Professor Valerie Flam is the creator of Jelly Bear, purportedly the world's first true artificial intelligence.

In reality, Professor Flam downloaded a copy of her own consciousness, with memories stripped away, into the robot. She was under pressure to deliver, as her experiments were going to be shut down by the CCAD, and she faked her results.

Since then she has developed robots that possess the same capabilities as various super heroes.

Professor Flam is cold, single-minded and indifferent to anything beyond her goals.

She is the mother of Karl Flam, and treats him more as an experiment in optimal parenting technique than she does a child of her own.
