Barbara Pastella was the daughter of a military weapons inventor and an alleged serial celebrity stalker; she tracks down every celebrity from movie stars to fashion models then kidnaps and torture her victims forcing them to idolize her. One day while she was at the trail of a Hollywood TV idol, Barbara was ran over by a drunk driver. As fate would have it, her father was nearby and brought her to the local hospital. Doctors cannot save Barbara’s fatal injuries in time. In order to save her, her father secretly transported her to a top-secret weapons lab and transferred her brain to an experimental combat android: the M95-A5 “Mannequin”. In the process he was accidentally killed while reviving her. Now “gifted” with her new body, Barbara uses her newfound abilities to continue her sinister hobby. Only Superhawke stands in her way. Living Doll is psychotic and obsessed with stalking her male victims, using her cybernetic enhancement to torture them is submission to force them to make love to her. She also has extreme pleasure and enjoyment committing various robberies and extortions to finance her schemes. She fashions herself in dressing up in skimpy clothing and expensive jewelry as well as showing off her musical and stage talents to attract her prey. In her prosthetic body, Living Doll has near-superhuman agility and reflexes and enhanced strength. Her exoskeleton is armed with hi-tech weapons and gadgets such as wrist beam cannons and anti-personnel proximity mines, but her most powerful in-body weapon in her arsenal is her chest beam repulsor, which is later converted to emit Reverse Solar energy (Superhawke’s weakness) to even herself in case of a confrontation with New York’s avenging angel. She is supplemented with a tactical combat computer of analysis and targeting.
