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, conception and/or creation:
“We are weighed down, every moment, by the conception and the sensation of Time. And there are but two means of escaping and forgetting this nightmare: pleasure and work. Pleasure consumes us. Work strengthens us. Let us choose.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“As a natural process, of the same character as the development of a tree from its seed, or of a fowl from its egg, evolution excludes creation and all other kinds of supernatural intervention.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
