Fictional Character Biography
Born and raised in a small midwestern town, Edie often felt like a stranger in the presence of her own father. Restless and eager for bigger, better things, she became pregnant by a young drifter when she was fifteen. Edie confessed to her parents when she could no longer hide the signs, and soon discovered the truth about her own parentage: she herself was the daughter of an anonymous drifter whom her mother slept with, and the man who raised her as her father was unable to have children. Instead of disowning Edie, her parents formed an elaborate lie to protect her. She was pulled out of school under the ruse of an illness, and her mother began putting a pillow under her dress to pretend that she was pregnant. Thus, when the child was born she would be raised as Edie's sister rather than her daughter. Edie's power of teleportation fully manifested when she first looked at her daughter's face and felt a powerful urge to "get away." She appeared atop the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles.
A few years later, Edie returns to Los Angeles to make her fortune. She struggles as a waitress and an actress until she became smitten with X-Force leader Zeitgeist and decides to try out for the team. She perfected her "aim" with her teleportation and came up with the codename "Tele-Girl"; she became U-Go Girl after she accidentally flashed a crowd during her team tryout and someone screams, "You go, girl!"

—Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)
“An interesting play cannot in the nature of things mean anything but a play in which problems of conduct and character of personal importance to the audience are raised and suggestively discussed.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
