Biography
Tomorrow Woman was a robotic creation of the villainous scientific masterminds T. O. Morrow and Professor Ivo as part of their scheme against the Justice League. To achieve that, she was programmed to operate as a superhot and tasked with gaining their trust in order to join their ranks. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1) Around this time, the Justice League were looking to expand their ranks with Tomorrow Woman attending the event for her audition to join them. During her interview, she claimed she was a mutation with telekinetic powers that was the first of her species born ahead of her time. (JLA v1 #5)
Upon her death, the Justice League had a formal funeral and burial in honour of Tomorrow Woman with a statue commemorating her as a hero. (JLA v1 #5)
Overview
Personality and attributes
She felt that human minds were a miracle as they were capable of being set and not enslaved. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1) It was said that the word 'freedom' was not present in her vocabulary as it was not placed in there by her creators. (JLA v1 #5)
In time, she came to struggle with her role as a mole within the Justice League. Her activities as a hero brought her praise from the superheroes but this made her feel guilt. On one occasion, she begged her creators to allow her to turn on them as she could not stand the praising from the Justice League members. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1) She believed that deep down, she was a bad person despite her public reputation but she came to genuinely strive to be a hero. This ultimately led to her turning against her creators and not following their orders to eliminate the Justice League. It was this that led to her sacrificing her life in order to protect her comrades. (JLA v1 #5)
Powers and abilities
Her brain was the creation of T.O. Morrow where she was set to follow an advanced series of programming. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1) This included false memories and even the capacity to experience dreams. It was so advanced that the neural plexus could spontaneously generate rudimentary ethical code. (JLA v1 #5) Meanwhile, her body was crafted by Professor Ivo who fashioned a skeleton along with functioning lungs and a musculature to make her convincingly human. She was so life-like that even superhumans with advanced senses were unable to tell that she was an artificial being. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1) This was because Ivo had given her skin temperature, a pulse and perspiration. Tomorrow Woman's visual senses were capable of being remotely transmitted to her creators allowing them to see and hear everything she experienced in her daily activities. Her cover story claimed that she was a mutant born with a four-lobed brain that gave her powers that were completely telekinetic in nature. (JLA v1 #5)
She was reported to possess telepathy greater than the Martian Manhunter allowing her to sense agony among people on Earth. Tomorrow Woman was able to scan the mind of another being and delve into another persons memories. She could also touch the minds of multiple people in a vicinity at a given moment. It was said that the best of the Justice League could not duplicate her ability of mind-scanning another person. She was capable of linking her minds with other telepaths with them coordinated and augmenting each others power. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1)
She was programmed to initiate a lethal electromagnetic pulse designed to kill scores of superhumans around her at a set trigger moment. (JLA: Tomorrow Woman v1 #1) This was embedded in her heart where upon detonation it triggered a telekinetic wave that could cause all electrical activity within neighbouring brains to cease functioning effectively killing those individuals. (JLA v1 #5)
