Conception and Creation
Jaime was not the second "bionic person", but the third. She followed the astronaut/test pilot Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man, and the race car driver "Barney Miller", The Seven Million Dollar Man. Her bionics were thus Rudy Wells's third-generation and potentially more powerful than Steve's. She has been shown to be able to run slightly faster than he could. Also, her pre-bionic life as a professional athlete gave her greater natural agility than Steve. Her difficult transition to post-bionic life, along with later degrees in psychology, would, in middle age, make her an ideal candidate to be Rudy's assistant in training new-implantees in the use of their bionics. Notably, she trained Steve's son (by another woman) to control his bionics after his operation.

Famous quotes containing the words conception and/or creation:
“I wish glib and indiscriminate critics of industrialists had some conception of the problems that have to be met by factory management.... General condemnation of employers is a favorite indoor sport of the uninformed intelligentsia who assume the role of lance- bearers for labor.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“There have been heroes for whom this world seemed expressly prepared, as if creation had at last succeeded; whose daily life was the stuff of which our dreams are made, and whose presence enhanced the beauty and ampleness of Nature herself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
