Battleground Weird WWII: Liberty Belle

 
Notes:  Liberty is a great low powered sup that would make a great addition to any superhero or even Weird WWII game.
Origin:  Libby Belle Lawrence grew up an exceptional athlete and student during her school years.  After her graduation from college, she accompanied her father to Poland when he was sent there as an U.S. attaché to Poland.  In 1939 when the Nazis invaded Poland, her father was killed in a bombing raid in Warsaw.  Libby made her way West through the fighting and reached Dunkirk during the evacuation of Allied forces.  Libby was able to board a ship but just as it set sail it was hit and sunk by German aircraft.  Remarkably, she was able to swim the length of the English Channel and arrive in England unharmed.  Her incredible story of escape and her unbelievable swim made her an instant celebrity.  When Libby returned to the United States she became a newspaper reporter and radio commentator who avidly spoke of how the United States should enter the war and defeat the likes of fascism for the sake of all the peoples of the world.  Frustrated at the state of the wold, Libby would take on the cause of freedom and justice herself and became the costumed mystery-woman Liberty Belle.  Libby soon developed strange powers that assisted her fight against criminals and threats against freedom.  When Pres. Roosevelt declared the need to mobilize the United States' mystery-men and women into an organized team, Liberty Belle was one of the All Star Squadron’s founding members.  Libby would soon fall in love with fellow ASS member, Johnny Quick.  Together, the two lovers would protect America’s shores from the Axis fascists.

The Ringing of the Bell:
  When Libby returned to the United Sates, she discovered by accident that every time the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia was rung she was infused with a long lasting adrenalin surge.  It is not known why this occurs but she has partnered with the Bell’s curator, Tom Revere, to ring the Bell when she needs this extra boost.  Liberty Belle will roll a D20 at the beginning of the battle and on a roll of 10 or less, the Liberty Bell has infused her with adrenalin and she will gain the following bonuses:  +2” to all movement and throwing ranges, may stand from a prone position for free, gains an addition –2 in close combat, never takes Gut Checks, is never suppressed unless in a blast, will ignore her first Light Wound and will gain +2 to her Morale for the remainder of the battle.
