As a result, Carol, still in her mother's womb, was bathed in an unknown form of radiation emitted by the rock. It soon became evident that the young Carol was special when she never got sick and slowly displayed unusual abilities. Her parents were very supportive during these trying times but never faltered from doing the right thing for their daughter. They instilled in her a strong sense of morality, values and responsabilities, so when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour, she decided to take action. Knowing that, at the time, women were not allowed in combat, she enlisted in the Woman's Auxiliary Army Corps and made her way up the ranks. She eventually put her disguising skills to work when she infiltrated the White House to have an audience with the President and First Lady. Impressed with her, the president granted her an audience and Carol offered her services in the fight against the Axis powers. With the president backing her, she was trained in combat and took on the name of Freedom. She fought many battles for her country but when the atomic bomb was used, she lost faith in the military. She resigned from her post but was treated as a deserter, so she went into hiding. After running for fifty years she decided to settle down and eventually married and had children but circumstances forced her to resume her role as a super heroine and she donned her costume once more.
