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)
“Belief is nothing but a more vivid, lively, forcible, firm, steady conception of an object, than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“For a woman to get a rewarding sense of total creation by way of the multiple monotonous chores that are her daily lot would be as irrational as for an assembly line worker to rejoice that he had created an automobile because he tightened a bolt.”
—Edith Mendel Stern (1901–1975)
