AI-generated concept art of Pulsar Pureheart, (the main) hero from Project: Pureheart/Project: Pulsar

Ten years ago, in the Janborto Prime section of the Janborto Solar System in the southern province of the Alpha Centauri galaxy, a secret cadre of alien scientists conducted illogical genetic experiments overseen by an underground intergalactic crime syndicate to create supersoldiers for galactic domination. These beings, made from a hybrid of foreign DNA cells, were designed to infiltrate and conquer planets by taking the form of beautiful women. Among these creations were Subject 12-15-78 and her twin sister Subject 6-19-81, later known as Beta Blackheart. Their 7-year-old forms and hair colors distinguished them: purple for 12-15-78 and jet black for Beta.

Programmed at birth by an artificial intelligence provided by the syndicate, the syndicate instructed the young girls to conquer and enslave a planet's species, steal its resources, and destroy said planet once they depleted its resources. With these prearranged orders imprinted in their brains, the syndicate sent the young girls via space capsules to test their abilities on a randomly selected planet: Earth.

However, as the 12-15's capsule neared Earth's atmosphere, it was struck by an incoming meteor shower, causing it to crash on the outskirts of Cape Canaveral, Florida. A NASA research team led by world-renowned scientist Harriet Hitchens found the capsule and the unconscious purple-haired girl inside. Suffering from amnesia due to head trauma, 12-15 was spared dissection by Harriet, who moved by human compassion, fought hard to adopt her as her daughter legally.

Years later, the girl, now named Penelope "Penny" Polanski, thrived as a popular high school student. Penny excelled in every subject and was fascinated with Japanese anime, Sherlock Holmes novels, and superhero shows, particularly idolizing the heroine Superhawke. Under the tutelage of Yamasaki Yoshimitsu, an experienced martial arts master, and Harriet's self-defense teacher, Penny trained in various martial arts disciplines and advanced yoga techniques at a local dojo.

One day, during an afterschool Comics and Manga club meeting, Penny accidentally activated one of her latent powers while acting out her favorite superhero. Her punch sent a wall crumbling and injured several students. Shocked and frightened, Penny fled the scene, only to discover her ability to float mid-air. Her clothes transformed into a high-legged pink battle bodysuit, boots, and gloves, further confusing and scaring her.

A nearby news helicopter broadcasted the event live, catching the attention of Harriet and Yoshimitsu-Sensei. They hurried to rescue Penny, now floating helplessly above the city. Amid the chaos, a tank stolen from the National Guard armory rampaged through the city streets, heading straight for Penny. Her alien programming suddenly reactivated, returning her suppressed memories and transforming her demeanor into a cold, grim warrior. She destroyed the tank and nearly attacked the thieves before Harriet and Yoshimitsu-Sensei arrived to stop her.

Seeing her adoptive mother and sensei triggered warm memories, allowing Penny to override her programming and return to her usual self. To their surprise, her hair had changed from purple to blonde, and her outfit into a revealing swimsuit due to her neural programming's activation.

Penny struggled to understand her newfound powers and identity as reporters swarmed the scene. Meanwhile, Amanda Hawkings, aka Superhawke, saw the commotion on the news in New York City and sensed the foreign entity within Penny. She decided to investigate and headed to Florida.

After days of anxiety and counseling, Harriet and Yoshimitsu-Sensei brought Penny to a secret bunker in Cape Canaveral, where they raised her. There, Penny discovered her origins as part of Project Puredeath, a program designed for intergalactic domination. Horrified by her dark origins, Penny refused to carry out her programmed mission. Harriet and Yoshimitsu-Sensei encouraged her to use her powers for good.

Their conversation was interrupted by an intruder alarm. To their astonishment, Superhawke arrived, having tracked the disturbance. Harriet introduced Superhawke to Penny, who was overjoyed to meet her idol. Superhawke offered to mentor Penny, helping her start her superhero career. Penny eagerly accepted, seeing it as a chance to fulfill her childhood dreams of becoming a hero.

Under Superhawke's guidance and support from Harriet and Yoshimitsu-Sensei, Penny underwent intense training, honing her skills and learning to control her powers. She also delved into detective work, inspired by Sherlock Holmes, and shared her investigative techniques with Superhawke. Penny balanced her education with her new role as a superhero vigilante throughout high school and college.

Adopting the superhero identity of Pulsar Pureheart, Penny moved to Miami with Harriet and Yoshimitsu-Sensei. She worked as an office lady at a real estate firm, using her job as a cover for her crime-fighting activities. Penny's cheerful and kind-hearted personality made her famous, though Penny could be klutzy and easily distracted. As Pulsar, she was serious and determined, using her strategic mind and various powers to protect humanity from evil forces.

Penny's on-again, off-again relationship with her childhood friend, Kevin Kowalski, a photojournalist who admired her civilian and superhero personas, complicates her love life. She also shared a deep bond with Tokyo police officer and fellow metahuman Miyuki Kawaga, aka Wonder Cop, who understood her struggles as an outcast.

In battle, Pulsar used her intelligence and timing to exploit her enemies' weaknesses, transforming into lesser-powered alter egos for precise strikes before delivering finishing blows with her powerful abilities. Despite occasional self-doubt and emotional struggles, Penny's loved ones supported her and remained steadfast in her mission to protect Earth.

As Pulsar Pureheart, she embraced her role as a superhero, ready to face any challenge, even those from her dark past. Driven by her compassion for humanity and an intense sense of justice, she vowed to defend her new home and ensure the survival of all. Her most incredible power, however, was her capacity for love, which she believed was the key to overcoming any obstacle.

Shapeshift Spin - an unique ability in which she twirls around in tornado speeds telepathically choosing an alternate disguise each, though some weaker than her Pulsar form in terms of vulnerability and super-strength, speed, and abilities, has her own unique powers and skills; useful for disguises and/or strategic purposes

Radiocrysis Purification - Pulsar Pureheart possesses the power of "Radiocrysis Purification," enabling her to safely remove radioactive isotopes from contaminated areas. By spinning rapidly, she creates a vortex that draws the isotopes into her alien cells, neutralizing their radiation and converting them into non-radioactive, crystalline particles. She then uses her cryo-infused super breath to expel these harmless crystals as a fine, sparkling mist that resembles snow, safely dispersing them into the environment. This ability allows her to clean up nuclear sites, neutralize radiation-based attacks, and temporarily enhance her healing factor, making her a vital defender against radioactive threats.

- Arcane magic (unless in her Betty Broadway form), some alien-based weaponry
- powers rendering her completely human; it was invented by a unknown secret science organization using reserve engineering from her DNA; overexposure for longer than three hours could result in her death; due to the different properties of its' upgrade and her alien DNA cells, recoverable by resting for 6 hours and consumption of at least 2 pounds of concentrated lemon juice and Onigiri (Japanese) rice balls.

Alter Ego weaknesses: some of her alternate disguises are much weaker than her normal Pulsar form; leaving her vulnerable with physical attacks, weaponry, and arcane magic; recoverable by transforming to her Pulsar form.

Alignment: Lawful good
