Great Lakes Avengers[]

As Big Bertha, Ashley enjoyed being a superhero despite often being greeted with revulsion based on her appearance. Initially, the GLA used Ashley's penthouse as their headquarters & & her private jet as their transportation.

Ashley continued to work as a model with Mirror Modeling to continue to fund the GLA. Unfortunately, this also meant that she was largely absent from spending time with her GLA friends. Ashley was further pulled between her two worlds by repeated offers to move away from Milwaukee to pursue her career in locations such as New York City, London, Paris, Milan, or Rome. Ashley eventually decided to enjoy her life as it is instead of feeling like she was spread too thin.

Big Bertha continued to engage in superhero works with her friends & teammates including defeating both Dr. Tannenbaum's Giant Robot Snowman & Evil Living Christmas Trees.

50-State Initiative[]

Along with her teammates, Big Bertha registered under the Sokovia Accords & became part of the Wisconsin branch of the 50-State Initiative.

Personality[]

Powers & Abilities[]

Powers[]

Big Bertha was born a mutant with the ability to alter the physical size & mass of her body, including:

  • Body Transformation: Big Bertha can add hundreds of pounds of super-bulk to her frame, increasing her mass, girth, & height. In both her larger & smaller forms, Big Bertha is able to completely control the distribution of adipose issue, giving her complete control over her figure. The source of this additional size isn't known, but it is presumably extra-dimensional. To decrease her size, Big Bertha must induce vomiting to expel the excess mass.
    • Superhuman Strength: With her additional super-bulk mass, Big Bertha's physical muscula&nd skeletal strength is increased to superhuman levels. At her peak, she is able to lift 50 tons.
      • Superhuman Leaping: Her great strength also extends into her legs, allowing her to leap great distances & heights.
    • Superhuman Durability: The additional super-bulk mass also enhances the density & durability of her body tissues making her much more resistant to conventional injury than those of a normal human. She can withstand high caliber bullets, exposure to temperature extremes, falls from great heights, & high-velocity impact forces without sustaining injury.

Big Bertha possesses the attributes of a well-conditioned athlete regardless of her transformation state. She is additionally a formidable unarmed combatant, & a skilled pilot of conventional jet aircraft. She is also a proficient card player.
