Marcia Reynolds was a second-grade technical secretary living in Titan City of Earth, sometime in the late 21st century. She had no money and no family, and only a norm-plus ratings on the intelligence quota, energo-efficiency, and mating potential. In other words, she was a very average human girl, for her time. That was, until she was abducted by the Brain-Lords of Cymradia, and became Specimen Nine of “Project: Survival”. After her body and mind were tested and probed, the Cymradians determined that she had great potential, describing her as a “prize of prizes” and giving her the lab name, Futura. The Cymradian named Mentor suspected that through great courage she would assert herself as a leader. He was proven correct, as Futura proved to be a dangerous adversary, successfully managing to rally other test subjects against the Cymradians. She escaped in an escape pod as much of the planet of Cymradia was buried in hot magma from a volcanic explosion. After her escape from Cymradia, Futura fell into trouble with a number of space pirates, including Yrina and Omma, as well as Captain Blargo, the Lawless. Futura was a tenacious and savage fighter, a good athlete, and spoke the Trans-Cosmos language.
