Biography
Two years ago, Miranda Manuel/D-Cel was once an ordinary teenager until her mutant powers manifested while traveling with her parents. Their car was slowed down, resulting in it getting hit by a truck. Her parents were killed, and D-Cel was in a coma for three months. She denied being a mutant so she didn’t have to blame herself for her parent’s deaths. After being moved around between aunts and uncles for a year, she ran away and became homeless. She lived with other homeless teenagers around a series of abandoned buildings in Manhattan. She often pulled pranks with her powers in order to get views on social media. She got the attention of the Juggernaut when she used his powers on him. Believing that she was a mutant, Marko looked for her, wanting to help her.
She fought Juggernaut after he began working with Damage control. Despite having the power to generate and direct a deceleration field which slows kinetic motion she overexerted herself and collapsed during the battle. Juggernaut suggested she was a mutant but the nature of her powers is currently unknown. Juggernaut remained at her bedside while she recovered. She has a Roxtube channel and suggests that her powers are a result of a ‘science experiment’.
Juggernaut then went after Arnim Zola who was operating in a former bunker formerly used by Factor-3 in North Dakota. D-Cel and Damage Control aided Juggernaut, but when Juggernaut was captured, D-Cel went to aid Juggernaut. However, she was also captured by Arnim Zola’s shapeshifting android Primus. Knowing that D-Cel was a mutant, he was about to experiment on her when Juggernaut broke free from his prison and defeated Primus and Zola, and rescued D-Cel. D-Cel wanted revenge on Zola, but because Zola was being controlled by Absolution Solutions, Juggernaut convinced D-Cel to spare Zola.
Before attacking Absolution Solutions’ prison for superhumans, D-Cel was forced by Juggernaut to admit that she was a mutant and explain her backstory. The next day, D-Cel and Juggernaut attacked Dungeon Max Penitentiary 25 miles away from Tucumcari, New Mexico. The pair discovered that the penitentiary was actually a front and was used simply as a place to transport prisoners to another prison called the Dungeon through the use of a teleporter. Juggernaut left D-Cel behind and went through the teleporter. D-Cel went through shortly after and rescued Juggernaut after he was immobilized. When they tried leaving, they discovered that the Dungeon was actually a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier that was converted into a prison. To prevent D-Cel from being detained and experimented on, Juggernaut convinced her to reveal her mutant status and ask for asylum on Krakoa. Juggernaut later arranged to have D-Cel move to Krakoa.
