Marjorie Barbier was a teenage fashion model at the time of the Rikti invasion. With her city under attack, she decided to trade in the discipline of modeling for the discipline of life as a soldier in the US Army! Proving herself as a dedicated soldier first and foremost, Marjorie caught the attention of Vanguard, who proposed to her a new career as the public face of their recruiting campaign.
Now under the moniker of Major Babe, Marjorie became a staple of recruiting center and company barracks wall decorum! Her alluring "She Wants You" posters were as eye-catching as they were memorable, and became a favorite of male recruits. However, the campaign drew criticism that the Major Babe character was crass, lowbrow, and damaging to the experiences of female recruits. Rather than denying these criticisms, Marjorie gave a sit down interview where she acknowledged these points, but emphasized her own role as a soldier first and foremost, and introduced America to her newest catchphrase, "Service Is Sexy"!
Around this time, recruiting centers began to roll out the Major Babe comic book, which depicted Major Babe and her fictionalized super-team The Peace Brigade. The book was surprisingly well written by seasoned comics writers such as Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern, and regular comic readers demanded it to be made available for sale to the general public. The character was here to stay!
And while Major Babe was making public appearances at air-shows, Independence Day events, and military contractor trade shows, secretly she was actually working as an intelligence-gathering infiltrator for special ops! Her good looks and hourglass figure, as well a her charismatic grace, gave Marjorie a great advantage in making suspected high ranking traitors freely admit more than they otherwise would! After all, Major Babe is just that bimbo from the posters, right?
Assisting her in her secret role is her partner Practice Girl, who often sneaks around undetected while Major Babe captivates their attention! Practice Girl, while initially skeptical of Major Babe's ability, quickly grew out of that mindset after their first outing together. Now a well-oiled fighting unit, the two have also become the best of friends.
Eventually, Major Babe and Practice Girl were chosen to head up ASPIC, the Allied Super Powered Intelligence Committee, a cooperative effort between the military and civilian superheroes, with the goal of peace keeping and emergency response in super events.
Currently, Major Babe can be frequently spotted in the streets of Paragon leading teams of aspiring heroes at the urgings of the members of the Freedom Phalanx, but also makes time to tamp down the insurgents in the Rikti War Zone, although she tends to devote much of her time to evacuating the hapless citizens of the Shadow Shard. If you happen to see her out and about, she's usually happy to pose for a picture with fans, sign autographs, or advise you in ways to assist your community!
