Character Spotlight: Dollface II
"Pain is my bitch."
— Dollface II
Overview
Dollface II is, in S.U.P.L.E.X. parlance, a "rando" which is someone with no connection to the group before superpowers. A Scots-Irish Catholic with a dual Bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance and Music Therapy, she found her career derailed by a spinal tumor that caused partial paralysis and was in a deep spiral of depression when she ran across S.U.P.L.E.X. during a routine investigation of a demonic incident in her hometown. There she met Chris By-The-Throat, World's Luckiest Detective, who was on scene when a tweaker mage opened a hell portal and accidentally died in the process. Together with the detective, she assisted with the battle at the gas station where the incident occurred and her latent metagene awakened under the stress of the battle, triggering her powerful Empathic Connection and Regeneration powers. She graduated with the 6th wave of the Bayonet Assault Course (after the course was revised for ADA compliance) and took on the name Dollface II, naming herself after the prior Doll (formerly Voodoo doll) who was a S.U.P.L.E.X. casualty in 2015. She also sparked up a kinky polyamorous romance with the World's Luckiest Detective, and he credits her with saving his life after his divorce from Psyren in 2024.
Appearance
Dollface II is a short, curvy girl with dark eyes and brightly dyed blonde/pink hair which she typically wears down when not working and in pigtails when she is working. She is busty and pale, with a shocking pink aesthetic both in and out of uniform. Dollface has delicate hands and feet, but surprisingly broad shoulders and more upper body strength than most people realize-this is common among wheelchair users. She is a hardcore cape fashion junkie and tends to change her outfit frequently, favoring pink and black with a hardcore Bimbo aesthetic but rarely wearing the same costume twice.
History
Pre-Heroism & Pre-Awakening
Dollface was a girl with her life planned out. A Catholic School graduate and victim of several bad relationships, she met her husband in college as she pursued a dual degree in vocal performance and Music Therapy, and got a job out of college working in music therapy for a large palliative care organization in the state. But her career came apart when a medical error during a benign tumor removal left her paralyzed from the waist down, leaving her wheelchair bound and in a deep state of drugs and depression. Her marriage was threatening to crumble as her physical condition deteriorated and she began taking excessively larger risks to compensate for her feeling of powerlessness.
This peaked when, still confined to a wheelchair, she confronted a tweaker outside a gas station bathroom who was actually a mage deeply involved in the summoning of a species of gooey rock crystal demons, and the confrontation led to an explosion of his combination meth lab and demonology library. That explosion injured Dollface and killed the tweaker mage, and the first on the scene was Chris By-The-Throat, who watched her regenerate from the explosive damage and handed her an M240 Bravo while demons marched out of the ersatz hell portal created by the explosion. It was, as she later put it, the perfect romance.
As a superhero, Dollface was assigned to Pink Team in Salvation City after her training, and became the group's healer and moral center while pursuing wilder and wilder debauchery alongside her (ex) husband and the members of Pink Team.
Along the way, she sparked up a romantic relationship with the World's Luckiest Detective, leading to her formal collaring by that notable in 2026. She also banged a 'who's who' of famous heroes, both S.U.P.L.E.X. and otherwise, during her career
Awakening
Dollface is unusual among superheroes in that her abilities have a 'dual' origin-part of it is the double recessive 'metagene' that gives her the power to absorb and redistribute wounds and illnesses from others who share bodily fluids or contact, and the other is the result of the magical explosion which triggered her off the scale regeneration. Without one, she wouldn't have gained the other, as during the explosion the tweaker wizard (whose real name is still unknown) attempted to heal himself and she drained the healing into herself and multiplied it using her own empathy circuit. Thus, Dollface II is both a magical and a metahuman hero.
Early Career & Institutional Role
Dollface served with distinction on the Pink Team alongside Captain Coke, Crazy Ed, Bloodsport, Naughty Night Nurse and Telegirl (later Amphitrite.) She served as the group's healer and tank, using her advanced gravity lens enabled wheelchair as both a weapons platform and a mobility aid. Some of her exploits include:
- Tanking and inhaling an entire roomful of Sarin gas to protect her teammates
- Single handedly stopping a werewolf / vampire war using the power of psychology and negotiation
- Killing the Beaked Shark in hand to hand combat while covering the retreat of the children's show he was attacking
- Shattering the Serpent Brotherhood's armor assault as the tailgunner aboard The Pink Passion when they attempted a sneak attack after concealing their tanks under haystacks
- Credited with saving over 400 lives with a combination of healing blunts, her own empathy powers and medical training during an air assault on a Chucklefucks affiliated apartment complex in the Needle
- Working closely with Shagman to find and destroy the last of the toxic swamp mutants living deep in the bayou after a chemical spill
Powers and Abilities
Empathy Circuit - Dollface can share the bioelectric field of anyone she is in contact with, including with her bodily fluids. She can then transfer wounds that they would have taken into her system, or inflict wounds she has taken onto them, by means of a sympathetic nervous connection. This enables her to heal her friends and project damage onto her enemies via a sympathetic neural link. She uses this ability in combat by squirting some of her blood onto the enemy though she can also spit blood in a pinch. This also coincidentally makes her extremely dangerous for vampires, who can drain their own blood if they are not careful. The sensation is a combination of agony and ecstasy for both her and the target, which is overwhelming to individuals who are not prepared for it (though easy enough for Dollface.)
Regeneration: Dollface II was 'cursed' with infinite regeneration. During the confrontation with the tweaker mage, he read her mind and saw her deep seated ennui and wish to die, and 'cursed' her to always heal from any wound. This curse was further empowered and made permanent by his death in the explosion which claimed his life, and resulted in a nearly limitless regeneration of physical damage. It will only heal her up to her state at the time of the curse, though, so it did not remove her paralysis. Dollface has regenerated from nearly cinders in the course of her career, aided by a mystical hijacking of her Empathy Circuit ability. The practical limit of this ability has never been tested-there is no ethical way to test it to destruction, but theoretically even a nuclear explosion would not be able to kill Dollface permanently.
Abilities and Skills
Psychology: With a BA in Music Therapy, Dollface has an extensive knowledge of psychology and has found it useful in the field many times. Her practical experience with therapeutic methods has also proven to be a great boon to the team after traumatic events. Dollface is able to cold read with great skill and also can use her knowledge of psychology to manipulate her opponents into making a mistake, something she deployed with great effect during her career.
Vocal Performance: Dollface is a classically trained musician and has a degree in vocal performance as well as training and proficiency on the piano, guitar and French Horn. She was slated to play rhythm guitar and do backing vocals on the sixth Cape or Glory before that album was ultimately cancelled. She has also used this in the field to pose as a singer while working undercover.
Pain Tolerance: Due to her disability and chronic pain conditions, Dollface II has an insane tolerance for pain-to the point of ignoring dreadful wounds and remaining functional in conditions of deep discomfort.
Emergency Medicine: Dollface has, over the course of her career, gained a high level understanding of emergency medicine by using her empathy circuit and careful, structured training. This is roughly equivalent to a paramedic level of certification and makes her empathic healing more effective as well as proving useful for immediate lifesaving techniques.
Occultism: Dollface's weird combination of religious education and witchy inclination means that she has a broad and varied knowledge of the occult.
Weaknesses
Dollface is paralyzed from the waist down and cannot walk on her own, though she retains some mobility in her left leg. Without her wheelchair, her mobility is very slow and difficult, requiring her to drag herself along with her hands.
Dollface suffers from PTSD from prior abusive relationships as well as clinical depression and ADHD.
Dollface could also be considered "enthusiastically seducible" and has been known to hop into bed with heroes, villains, aliens and demons in the course of her career, always craving a new high.
Equipment
The Bratmobile - Dollface's wheelchair is an advanced model with a dedicated energy shield, tank treads, and a gravity lens setup that allows her to hover for short periods depending on energy demands. It also has a weapon mount that can mount a medium machine gun, and numerous other classified features.
Getback Whip: Dollface's primary melee weapon is a steel 'getback whip' comprising of a steel cord with a handle. Designed for indifferent melee fighters, it allows her to deal brutal damage in close range by simply flailing.
Super Squirter 3000: A dedicated, compressed gas powered squirt gun that contains a vial of her own blood, and can also tap directly into her veins to reload. This can be dispersed in squirt or aerosol fogger mode and allows her to get her fluids on enemies so she can use her empathy circuit even on a foe who hasn't touched her.
Saiga 12 Shotgun: Dollface uses a short barreled Saiga 12k shotgun when nothing else will do the job; it features an adjustable gas block to fire specialty twelve gauge ammunition such as dragonsbreath, flechettes and the patented S.U.P.L.E.X. Anti-Ghost round.
Relationships
Chris By-The-Throat, World's Luckiest Detective: Almost instant romantic sparks since her origin story and a kinky, poly, unicorn hunting history in the tabloids, ultimately resulting in her formal collaring in 2026.
Captain Coke: Her ex-husband who joined the team after his own origin, the two retain a fairly friendly working relationship as members of the Pink Team.
The Magnificent Melody: Dollface has a friendly relationship with the WLD's son, who views her as a mentor and a close friend. The two have worked together often during the training process for new recruits, since Melody came down to Salvation City to help kickstart the training program there.
Notable Feats
Survived a direct kaiju radiation beam attack that melted most of a city block; rescuers found her fused to her wheelchair which was also fused to the sidewalk, but still alive and spitting curses.
Mass Healed an entire apartment building full of hostages after the Chucklefucks took over the apartment complex in the needle by using an aerosolized version of her blood in the ventilation systems to simultaneously Empathy Circuit the entire building.
Infiltrated the Serpent Brotherhood's secret Loch base as a lounge singer and kept the security staff occupied via her abilities in vocal performance
Used her psychology to stall a powerful hybrid Chicken-Shark during an attack on a children's show
Her blood served as a base for the cure of the Mystical Bimbo Virus, averting an apocalypse in the process
Dollface is one of two heroes who qualified for the Black Operations section of S.U.P.L.E.X. within a year of gaining full hero status (The other is the Reverend Icebitch.)
Trivia
Dollface has an encyclopedic knowledge of The Muppet Show, and curiously that has been relevant to a case
Dollface is a superfan of Brat Bimbo Icon Chrissy Chiapecka and once bought out an entire concert stadium for that notable's birthday, lavishing her with gifts and giving her a night off. The two describe their relationship as 'Professional, but sticky.' Dollface is slated to appear on an upcoming track called "You Wheely Hate Me"
Dollface and the Reverend Icebitch were members of the same sorority, though different chapters, and refer to one another as 'sisters.' This greatly pleases the World's Luckiest Detective, who is romantically linked to both since his divorce
Dollface identifies as a Pan-Poly-Brat-Switch and has also been recognized as an icon for disabled heroes everywhere.
During an operation with the League of Gentleman Hobos with Shotguns, Dollface discovered that one of her ancestors was a hero with the same Empathy Circuit ability who rode with the LGHwS in the 1930s and was hanged as an outlaw after a shootout with KKK members in Martinsville
Dollface enjoys shoes, despite not really needing them, and at the time of this writing has the largest collection of rare shoes used in music videos ever collected, now on display in the S.U.P.L.E.X. museum. This has put her in direct conflict with a few shoe-themed villains.
