However, she spent her formative years in the Lower East Side of New York City. Rachel had a brother, Danny, also known as Cutthroat. It was Danny and another of her brothers, Ricky, who originally fell in with a gang lead by a man known as "Bing". Yearning to be included, she approached Bing alone. Upon claiming she would do anything to join the gang, Rachel was beaten up and apparently raped by Bing, who years later became the costumed mercenary Crossbones.<br/><br/>Rachel later became a mercenary, Diamondback. One of the members of the original Serpent Society, Diamondback was a seductively sly woman with expertise in hand-to-hand combat, gymnastics, and thrown weaponry, having been trained by Anaconda at one of Taskmaster's academies. Her gimmick was that she threw acid-laced, explosive, or poison-tipped diamonds at her enemies.<br/><br/>After her first confrontation with Captain America while on assignment to find and kill M.O.D.O.K., she was instantly smitten with him. Diamondback was later assigned to take Captain America into custody from the villain the Porcupine. In reality, the hand-over was a set-up so that Captain America could capture the Serpent Society. Realizing they'd been set up, Diamondback threw explosive-filled diamonds at Porcupine, damaging his armored battlesuit. Incensed at the damage to his only valuable possession, the Porcupine attacked Diamondback, but was fatally injured by a quill from his own suit. The Serpents escaped, and the Porcupine died.<br/><br/>She later looked into the murder of her teammate, Death Adder, by the Scourge of the Underworld, in the process avoiding assassination by Scourge when he shot at the Serpent Saucer containing herself and her teammate Cobra.<br/><br/>The terrorist Viper later staged a coup of the Serpent Society, causing several of her underlings to infiltrate the group as new members and setting Viper up to take over by force. Diamondback and their then leader, Sidewinder, escaped, recruiting Captain America and his allies to help rescue those Serpents who were still loyal to Sidewinder. After a fierce battle, in which Viper was defeated, Sidewinder abandoned the Serpent Society.<br/><br/>Rachel was later revealed to have resigned from the Serpent Society, and temporarily switched bodies with the X-Man, Dazzler due to the interference of Mister Jip. This led, in part, to a confrontation between the Serpent Society and the X-Men.<br/><br/>Diamondback later alerted Captain America to the Bloodstone Hunt -- the hunt for the fragments of the Bloodstone formerly worn by Ulysses Bloodstone. She aided Captain America in combat against Batroc, Machete, Zaran, and their leader Baron Zemo. She also encountered Crossbones for the first time, and was captured by him and imprisoned in a cathouse in Madripoor. Diamondback escaped, however.  Diamondback later accompanied Captain America to the Red Skull's Skull-House.<br/><br/>Diamondback and Captain America eventually went on their first date, aided by Rachel's friends in the Serpent Society, Asp, Black Mamba, and Anaconda, who made sure the date wasn't interrupted by a range of minor villains, including Trump, Gamecock, Poundcakes, and Jackhammer. Diamondback then battled the Avenger the Black Widow, who was unaware of Rachel's change in affiliation, and acquired a new costume.<br/><br/>Diamondback was eventually put on trial by the Serpent Society for her consorting with the enemy (most of the Society assuming, incorrectly, that Diamondback had betrayed their secrets to Captain America) and found guilty for her actions, and almost executed. She escaped with Captain America and Paladin's help, and later hired Paladin to help get revenge on the Serpent Society.<br/><br/>Fearing retaliation from members of the Serpent Society Diamondback formed the mercenary group B.A.D. Inc. with Black Mamba and Asp.  The three formed the core of a new security firm which took on jobs of high risk in which coming into conflict with enhanced beings was a high possibility.  One of these operations did bring the group in conflict again with Serpent Solutions, where Rachel was poisoned by Viper.  Rachel would had died there if an emergency blood transfusion from Steve Rogers.  Rachel's DNA latched onto the Super Soldier formula in Captain America's blood, and by the time Rachel had fully recovered and was discharged from the Avenger's medical facility, she had gained seventy-five pounds of muscle mass and bone density as well five inches in height.  She once more resumed her place in BAD taking on new contracts and continuing to expand and grow the company.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Abilities:</strong></span><br/><strong>Enhanced Strength:</strong>Due to the transfusion with Captain America's blood, Rachel has far more strength than a woman of her normal size.  While not quite the same range as Captain America, Rachel has tested herself and can body lift near 1,000 lbs with effort.<br/><br/><strong>Enhanced Agility and Reflexes:</strong>Again the result of traces of the super soldier formula.  Rachel has the agility and reflexes of a gold medalist Olympic athlete.  She is able to dodge non-automatic gunfire.<br/><br/><strong>Enhanced Endurance:</strong>Rachel can engage in vigorous physical activity for eight hours before fatigue poisons begin to sap her endurance and exhaust her.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Skills:</strong></span><br/><strong>Gymnastics:</strong>Rachel was a scholarship recruited gymnast before she dropped out of school, and her old abilities coupled with the new raw physical skills make her among the top gymnast in the world.<br/><br/><strong>Throwing Weapons:</strong>Rachel is highly skilled with throwing weapons, and is peerless with her own unique weapons.<br/><br/><strong>Martial Arts:</strong>Rachel was trained at one point by Captain America, making her a skilled street fighter and more than a match for most street level threats.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Equipment</strong></span><br/><strong>Diamonds:</strong>Secured all about her costume are throwing weapons shaped like diamonds and made out of a synthetic material making them highly durable.  There is a needle built into each point of the diamond, and coupled with Rachel's strength, allows the needle to penetrate conventional body armor.  Many of the diamonds are further customized to allow Rachel further combat options such as toxins to put opponents to sleep, cause a person's blood feel as if it were on fire, tear gas, dense smoke, and finally an explosive one with the force of ten lbs of plastic explosive.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Limitations</strong></span><br/><strong>Neural Damage:</strong>Viper's poison did have some damage to Rachel's central nervous system.  This damage has been repaired by the same bio-technology which once repaired Tony Stark's spine and restored his ability to walk.  However any EMP type device can shut down the nano-tech and cause Rachel to experience near crippling pain.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Personality:</strong></span><br/>Saucy and sarcastic with a flexible moral compass, but generally does know right from wrong.  She has tremendous loyalty to those she considers friend and will do anything for them, even if those actions take her in opposition against law enforcement or costumed heroes.<br/>
