Alex's generation of super humans had the same powers of telepathy and telekinesis. Their children, generation thirteen, were born with a huge variety of powers. Seeking to build a superhuman army, the government hunted down the Gen-13 children. Caitlin was a brilliant but lonely computer science student studying at Princeton when she was recruited. Genetic manipulation caused her to grow dramatically until she was well over six foot tall, gaining superhuman strength in the process.But Caitlin came to suspect that the project was more than a little dubious, and along with her friends, they escaped, helped by John Lynch, a man involved with the project who had been a member of Team 7 alongside her father. Initially she returned to the home of her uncle and aunt, who had raised her as a child, but her cousin's husband betrayed her, selling her out, and she was forced to flee. She reunited with the other escapees at the home of Lynch, in La Jolla.Caitlin tends to feel responsible for the rest of the group, which can be a stressful attitude when dealing with individuals like Grunge and Freefall. At first she was obsessed with locating her missing father, as he had abandoned her to his family's keeping in order to protect her, but when she finally met him during the Fire from Heaven crisis she realised that he was used to being a loner, and happy with the way his life is now. Since then she has come to think of the rest of her team as her family.In the early days Caitlin had a crush on Lynch, but after a brief visit to a possible future where he was an insane dictator, she went off him. Lynch sensed her uneasiness around him, and knowing he needed her to keep the group together, he called on Alex, her father, suggesting running the team together. However Alex wasn't enamored with Lynch's idea of embroiling the kids in a war against Ivana Baiul and her team of Gen-13 kids, DV8. Lynch took a sabbatical, leaving Alex in charge of the team.The group discovered that Alex was also Freefall's father, making Roxy and Caitlin half-sisters. But when an old enemy, Professor Tindalos, captured them and attempted to rape Caitlin, Alex went berserk, unleashing the full force of his telekinesis. The kids escaped, but Caitlin couldn't stop her father as his powers escalated dangerously out of control, driving him insane. She fled, and her father and Tindalos were wiped out in the telekinetic equivalent of a nuclear explosion. Caitlin has been devastated by this.Powers/Abilities: Before she was abducted into the Gen 13 program, Caitlin was a small underdeveloped girl-child. Once her powers bloomed, Caitlin grew to amazon proportions. She is a natural leader whose inner beauty is matched by her outward beauty. Caitlin's power is super human strength (100+ tons) and invulnerability. According to Threshold, all the kids of Gen13 have the potential of being telepaths and telekinetics.HISTORY: Fairchild was a gifted but lonely college student when she was recruited for a government program secretly intended to develop superhumans. Fairchild "manifested" and led her fellow test subjects to freedom. After their escape, the team made Fairchild their unofficial leader.Fairchild is the oldest and most mature of the group. Previously a shy bookworm Fairchild is still getting used to her new larger and stronger frame. Even when angry Fairchild carefully controls her strength lest she accidentally injure or kill someoneProfile: A lonely but gifted college student, Fairchild was recruited as part of a government program secretly intended to develop super humans. Under the Gen-active project, Fairchild manifested her powers in the form of a well built, extremely strong, six-foot tall woman. However, fearful of the fate that stood before them, Fairchild helped free her fellow test subjects and led the way to freedom. Their escape route eventually led them to La Jolla, CA. There the group, now known as Gen13, intends to develop their powers under their mentor, John Lynch. As the brightest and most initiative of the group, Fairchild has been deemed Gen13's unofficial leader.Powers/Abilities: Fairchild possesses super-human strength, allowing her to lift and hurl objects as large as a full-sized train. Almost an impenetrable force with her great size, dense mass, speed, and agility, Fairchild makes a fearsome enemy. She is also extremely intelligent and quick on her toes in any situation.
