Biography
Nanny/Francine MacArthur-Jacobs: Francine is a robotics engineer, formerly employed by Shaw Industries. She was wooed away from Shaw Industries by the government to work on the Weapon X/Alkali Lake program, but left due to outrage over the experiments on mutant teenagers and children. The guilt over participating in some of these experiments caused her to suffer from a deep depression, and a nervous breakdown.
Francine suffers from spina bifida, and she believes that it was caused by her mother having neglected her pre-natal care. She has required extensive leg and back braces to walk, and prefers a wheelchair. In the course of her work as an engineer, she has re-designed and built herself an all-terrain wheelchair that can handle stairs, curbs, and rough outdoor ground. The chair resembles the bottom half of an egg, perched on four mobile tank treads.
From her time working for Weapon X, Francine has two assets that are vitally important to her current 'mission'. She has the plans for a synthesised version of the brainwashing serum that "Jason" produced that Stryker used to control mutants. Second, she has an early list of people who have tested positive for the X-gene, and contact information for many of her former co-workers. The serum is used in an aerosol form and reacts on contact with mucous membranes or skin (eyes/nose/mouth or prolonged skin contact), and sends adult mutants into an extended fugue state and narcolepsy. Prolonged contact sends adults into lengthy comas. Non-X-factor positive humans affected by the serum simply experience the period of narcolepsy. The serum only works on adults with a stable X-gene and stable adult hormones - it does not work on teenagers or children, because the hormones that the body creates during childhood and puberty are either not sufficient or are too unstable for the serum to work properly.
Because of the nervous breakdown and depression she suffered after leaving the Weapon X program, Francine has suffered a break from normal reality, and believes that any and all mutant children and teenagers are suffering abuses, and that only she can properly care for them. This delusion became action in 2006, when she targeted several of the mansion's residents. That incident resulted in her capture by the X-Men and imprisonment for several years, before she escaped in 2010 and again targeted mutant children she saw as being 'abused'. Once again she was stopped by the X-Men, and returned to prison.
