Biography

Biography

Sprocket is a reliable albeit foul-mouthed mercenary who never lets her friends or colleagues down.

 

Part of a Team

Amelia Barnhardt becomes a mercenary and makes friends with other mercs like Andrew Chord. Through Chord, she meets Dwayne Taylor, AKA Night Thrasher, and the New Warriors, and uses her skills to help them with their heroic goals.

 

Mercenary Master

Amelia is a highly-effective mercenary whose weapons mastery, athleticism, and piloting skills make her a go-to ally for Super Heroes.

 

Friends, Colleagues, and Criminals

Amelia offers her mercenary skills to Night Thrasher, and the young heroes known as the New Warriors and assists them against their foes, such as Force of Nature and Firebrand. She works for them as a pilot as well, flying them wherever they need to go.

While in Rhodesia, Amelia has a one-night stand with a fellow mercenary called Cardinal whose real name is Donald Clendenon, AKA Harrier. Afterward, Amelia has a daughter named Valerie. However, Amelia does not share this information with Donald until 21 years later when Valerie was found dead, murdered by Franklin Hall, AKA Graviton. Amelia doesn’t know Valerie that well as she was in a military academy from age six and entered the Air Force at eighteen.

 

A Mercenary’s Memoir

Sprocket joined the New Warriors, a team of Super Heroes who required a pilot, which worked out well since Amelia is an ace at flying. While Amelia chauffeured the New Warriors in a helicopter to Trans-Sabal, she ended up flying around what looked like a war zone replete with the Trans-Sabalian army. Her instinct was to fire on the assailants below, but the New Warriors ordered her to fire only in self-defense. Below the helicopter, the all-polluted, all-deadly group known as Force of Nature were causing a ruckus. As the New Warriors departed the helicopter, Sprocket waited on comms in case she was needed.

When things looked dire for the New Warriors, Sprocket landed the helicopter and joined the fray, knocking out one of Force of Nature’s members known as Firebrand as he was making his escape. Then the New Warriors defeated the army.

When Henrique Gallante, AKA Darkling, attacked Amelia’s friend Andrew Chord, she saved him from the threat by knocking him out of the way, but only temporarily. He urged her to save herself but she refused, believing it better that they die together. Despite the ordeal, they survived.

After Amelia got word that her daughter Valerie was murdered, she decided it was time to tell the father, her friend and former colleague Donald Clendenon. At the time he was doing time in Seagate Penitentiary. Upon informing him about her death, she revealed other details about her, that Valerie had been in a military academy since she was six-years-old and then joined the Air Force at eighteen.
