REAL NAME: JAMIE CAPSHAW
Jamie Capshaw is a career military-woman and leading American officer charged with overseeing super-powered and extraterrestrial threats to Earth.
When X-O Manowar sought to claim Romania as his ancestral homeland, then-Colonel Capshaw acted in concert with Toyo Harada and his Unity squad to quell the alien-armored king. She later encouraged Aric of Dacia to settle in American territory in exchange for acting in benefit of the United States government.
One such occurrence came when the Armor Hunters, an elite fighting force of aliens recruited to combat the spread of the sentient X-O Manowar-like armors throughout the universe came to Earth looking for Aric. Squads of hunters hailing from the planet Gennin travelled the universe purging planets infected by the armors. The last of them, led by Primary Reebo, fell in combat against Unity. Following their defeat, G.A.T.E. recruited their sentient spacecraft, GIN-GR, a member of a race of giant self-aware robots.
When confidential information about Earth’s heroes leaked to the public, the US Department of Defense and UK’s MI6 collaborated to transform M.E.R.O. (Military Extraterrestrial Reconnaissance Outpost) into a public agency. Capshaw led the task of formally introducing G.A.T.E. (Global Agency for Threat Excision) and Earth’s defenders to the world at large.
When Divinity settled in Australia, Capshaw and Neville Alcott deployed the new iteration of Unity — Bloodshot, the Eternal Warrior, Ninjak, Livewire, and X-O Manowar — to contain him. Initially there was a disagreement over whether Divinity represented a threat, until he surrendered into G.A.T.E.’s custody.
At the onset of the chaos caused by Doctor Silk, now-Brigadier General Capshaw and Woody were the only registered people able to see the portals opening to the Faraway before anything crossed over. When she vanished, former Songbird Agent Myna kept Woody aboard B.O.B. (Biosphere Oversight Base) and used his ability to help coordinate Unity’s efforts around the world, while she sent Quantum on the field. Capshaw later returned alongside Ivar and Rai, the human-tech hybrid from the 41st Century, whom she had met in the Faraway.
Little is known about her personal life. At one point she had a partner, Sheila, who left her, tired of Jamie's obsession with work.. Soon after, she travelled to the Australian Outback with Aric to retrieve the alien spaceship that would become B.O.B., G.A.T.E.’s new mobile headquarters.
