The Bionic Woman was created out of spare human, mostly female, body parts as a companion for Colonel Steve Austin, a former astronaut-become-lonely-cyborg, after she dove headfirst into a pasture from a height of 12,000 feet in an attempt to decorate a clover patch with her remains. Before her tragic accident, she had been a tennis player known for her wicked backhand. After her tragic accident, she was asked to join Spider-man and his Amazing Friends, but declined, saying she didn't want to hang around with a bunch of nerdy heroes who would do impossible things to save the world.
