Amber was built around the concept of the “electromagnetic agent” : with her magnetic powers she would be able to manipulate electronics and machinery. The talent to bypass security systems, tap into computers and phone lines, and control almost any sort of electrical or mechanical device would make her indispensable to any sort of commando or espionage team. Additionally, she could also move large masses of metal telekinetically, a useful skill in combat.

Upon completing the original design work, Matrix scientists realized that they had designed “Agent : Amber” better than they had anticipated. They re-examinated her genetic blueprint and came up with a variety of additional imaginative and esoteric uses for her abilities.

By having her create fields of magnetic repulsion, she could literally repel herself from the ground and fly. Setting up a surrounding repulsor field, she could defend herself from incoming attacks such as bullets and other physical objects. Matrix gave the scientific team who had come up with these additional applications of Amber’s abilities an extra month’s vacation, with all expenses paid. 

History

The DNAgents are artificial life forms developed by a shadowy corporation called Matrix Corporation. They have been grown in a vat for five years, and their minds were programmed by Matrix ; however, they are extremely close to being humans, and have their own free will and personality.  The DNAgents were designed to be a commando squad that could take care of Matrix’s dirty work, from espionage to paramilitary action.

At the very end of the series, the DNAgents were captured by Matrix and put back into the vats for future use, after Matrix convinced the public that everything to do with the DNAgents was just a big media hoax. 

Description

Amber is a teenager. She wears yellow shorts, top and high boots, and a blue foulard tied around her neck. Her top has two rows of heavy brass buttons. She looks somewhat like a cheerleader, I’d imagine… She wears her hair long, tied into both a bun and a queue. 

Personality

Amber is very naive about the world around her. She has an unusually trusting nature and tends to view things as if seen through rose-coloured glasses. She is very outgoing and likes meeting new peoples, making friends easily. Currently, one of her better friends is an Olympic gold medal-winning track star named Burke. 

DC Universe History

In the DCU, the DNAgents would either have been developed by S.T.A.R. Labs or Lexcorp as enforcers protecting the interests of the organization. If they’ve been developed by Lexcorp, you may wish to increase their power to bring them on par with the technology used in the Team Luthor battlesuits.

Also, there was actually an issue of Tales of the Teen Titans where a DNAgents-like group (the RECOMbatants) showed up, only to sacrifice themselves at the end issue (in that month’s issue of DNAgents, a Titans-like group, Youngblood, showed up, dying in a similar manner). If worked into the DCU, they take the place of the RECOMbatants, but managed to save the day without having to sacrifice themselves.
