History: Taunted by schoolmates and emotionally
abandoned by her father, Mellisa ran away from home after
her mother was convicted and jailed for robbery. Adopting
her mother's maiden name as an alias, Screaming Mimi had
a short criminal career before becoming Songbird. She
was part of a team of female wrestlers known as the Grapplers,
a gang of female wrestlers with enhanced physical abilities.
She later formed an alliance with Angar the Screamer.
This partnership ended abruptly when Angar was fatally
wounded during a bank robbery. Upon his death Mimi let
out a mournful wail which lasted for 43 minutes and destroyed
her larynx.
Zemo, who was in the process of assembling a new Masters
of Evil found Mimi. The Fixer rebuilt her larynx, incorporating
Klaw's sound manipulation technology. Now she can use
her voice to create solid-sound constructs, including
the wings she uses to fly. Adopting the name Songbird,
she joined Zemo in his plot to make the world believe
they were heroes called the Thunderbolts.
Zemo's planned failed, but Songbird and other members
decided they preferred being good guys and set out to
make the Thunderbolts a legitimate super-hero team.

She shapes and animates these by mental command and they
only remain in existence for as long as she wills them
to.
