Description
Name: Rachel L. Rhodes
Group: Wetworks
First Appearance: WildC.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams #2
(October, 1992)

Mother One was a sleeper agent for Waering, though: She turned on an I.O. (International Operations) cleaner unit that she was supposed to be leading, in order to save the members of Team 7 (in its last incarnation, under Colonel Jackson Dane) following their exposure to golden symbiotes like her own in the Balkans. Mother One then recruited the team, who took on the name Wetworks, to Waering's cause: An ongoing secret war against the Vampire Nation.

In the follow years, working with Wetworks, Mother One developed a relationship with team-mate Grail (Joel Alonday), in no small part due to the fact that her cybernetic limbs allowed her to touch Grail in his energy-based "chi-state".

Rhodes regained some of her memories when Wetworks infiltrated a secret Cyberdata facility with the help of CyberForce member Ballistic, and when she was taken over by CAINE and used to activate the Red Winter satellites. After the latter event, in which Waering destroyed CAINE, Mother One and the Wetworks team left Waering's employ to operate as a rogue unit, then later in conjunction with I.O.

Rhodes was also taken over by the ghost of a Soviet super-psychic, named Rostov, becoming one of Rostov's "Tanagers". She was only freed from Rostov's control when Grail used his energy broadcasting abilities to "reboot" her brain/CPU (an ability that Mother One and Grail had kept secret from the rest of the team).

It is so far unclear how Mother One died, but in the wake of the WorldStorm Dane recovered her lifeless and mummified body from the ruins of an old Wetworks base. When the US Government sought out Dane and the remaining members of Wetworks, he demanded that they help him bring Mother One back online in return for his help in combating a new vampire threat. Dane also recruited a creature known as Ab-Death to help revive Mother One: Apparently Rachel's soul had not yet departed beyond Ab-Death's reach.

Rachel was eventually repaired with a drastically different appearance and a new ability to shape her "skin" into blades for use in close-combat.
