Hair: Black
Description:
She is Caucasian and wears her hair in a classic fashion: tied in buns or pony tail. She has a beauty spot on the left cheek just above the mouth. She has deep brown eyes and obvious breast implants.
She always, always dress in the sexiest outfits available. Short tight dress, stockings, high heels... no problem at all as long as it is vulgar.
Personality:
She's a megalomaniac b***h. She would go to any extent to achieve her goals, sex being the least. Coming to the point, she's a kind of sex addict, or gives this image. Her sex appeal is so strong that even the tough Black Razors are dreaming of her leading them naked on a dog leash. And we can assume she does select her sex toys in the herd of strong men she has under her ruthless command.
But most of all, she is ambitious. Fueled by her hatred of those who stand in her way, her ambition is boundless. She sponsors murder, blackmail, abduction, mass destruction, experiments on human beings... as long as it makes her goal closer. She in fact seems to relish in being overtly, outrageously evil.
Powers:
Cybernetic Enhancement: Ivana is a cyborg who has replaced much, if not all, of her body with synthetic parts. The extent and degree of her cybernetic modification is unknown. Her cybernetic parts give her superhuman strength, speed, and stamina. She no longer stores her brain or consciousness in her head, and cannot be killed by a shot which penetrates her skull.
The main abilities provided by Ivana's Cybernetics are:
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Speed
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Durability
Enhanced Vision
Enhanced Intellect
Additionally, Ivana can transform her fingers in deadly blades or razor sharp steel coils which can extend using molecularized razor wire -- which is one step below adamantium effectively. The side effect is that body can only be repaired. Later on, when she has been defeated because of mental powers, she had a psi helmet incorporated in her skull plating.
Ivana’s skills include extensive knowledge of espionage, stealth, and military weaponry. Her knowledge of the bureaucracy of spy agencies and wealth of contacts are bar none. Also, her scientific knowledge is fairly extensive, specializing in mutant genetics.
Bio:
Ivana was a top KGB agent that defected to the CIA by the end of the Cold War. Her ruthlessness and ambition led her to Craven's I.O. rapidly. Building a network of informants, accumulating favors and digging dust, she quickly made her way to the top of I.O., through blackmail, seduction, assassination... Until she was appointed Director of Sci-Tech (Science and Technology) Division, where she was in charge of the Project: Genesis.
Her own personal agenda was to form an unstoppable force of teenage SPBs, powerful enough to defeat I.O. and young enough to be manipulated. This teenagers were the offsprings of the survivors of Team 7 (including Lynch). With the help of her boy toy, Threshold, she almost succeeded. The problem was that Caitlin Fairchild was far from stupid and felt the sucker play behind Calahan's ways. Lynch, feeling that Ivana was up to something wrong, interfered in her plan. Fairchild blasted her way in the compound, while the other Gen 13 were blasting their way out past Threshold. After a final confrontation with Lynch, Ivana went rogue from I.O., keeping with her the other 6 Gen 13 still cryonized.
It is, indeed, not clear if she went rogue at this time, as she took refuge in Caballito Island and could still use I.O.'s human resources. Anyway, she trained her own Gen 13 team, the Deviants, to fulfill her private agenda. This agenda was going through the elimination of Lynch and his Gen 13. Indeed, she pursued the Project: Genesis on her own, testing various combinations of booster drugs, nanotechnology ... on her guinea pigs, the DV8, and particularly her "lover" Threshold, nearly driving him mad.
Thanks to the suicide missions of DV8, she managed to gain enough leverage within the US institutions (Senate, Government...) to finally reach her goal, the Directorship of I.O.. As she could never achieve popularity, she ruled the place with an iron fist, enforced by her personal praetorian guard, DV8.
Extra:
Ivana : "Now Matthew. Just because I use you for sex, does not mean I love you."
