Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles
Shenice Vale was the product of a shadowy research and development facility that aimed to create genetically enhanced operatives. Shenice was the only test subject to thrive and she was endowed with greatly enhanced strength, speed and agility. The reason Shenice thrived while the other subjects withered is that Shenice was treated like a real child by the two scientists who effectively raised her. These scientists came to see Shenice as their daughter and they spirited her away afraid of what the facility had in store for her.
As a teenager, Shenice hid out in the city of Dakota. After the events of the ‘Big Bang’ and the influx of meta-human youths created by the Quantum Vapor, Shenice and her parents figured she would be mistaken as a ‘bang baby’ thus throwing off the scent of the pursuing agents from the facility.
In Dakota, Shenice took on the identity of ‘She-Bang’ and used her powers to fight crime as a costumed superhero. This resulted in encounters with Dakota’s other teen hero, Static. Although Static was happy to have the help, he did find Shenice’s over-confidence and lack of modesty to be grating. As he learned more about her history, however, Static became more understanding and accepting of Shenice’s demeanor. Static ended up helping her evade the agents of the facility who continued to pursue her.
Actress Rosslynn Taylor-Jordan provided the voice for She-Bang, with the young heroine first appearing in the fourth episode of the third season of Static Shock, ‘Shebang.’
