Origin : Meggan Tully was dating George Hill. One night she was abducted by aliens and impregnated. Wiped clean of her memory, Meggan was returned to her car. When Meggan found out that she was pregnant, she assumed that George Hill was the responsible party and George "did the right thing" and married the woman with whom he'd been carrying on a relationship.
When she was born, a disfigured freak, the devout religous couple was convinced that God was punishing them because they had premarital sex. They kept their daughter chained up like a dog in their basement with only a flickering television set to keep her company.
After years of guilt and suffering, George and Meggan Hill took their own lives in order to escape their torment. Their daughter was discovered, still chained in the basement, half-dead, in her DeKalb, Illinois home by the local authorities who sought aid from the Dragon and the Chicago Police Department.
Captain Stewart was delighted to have another freak in his midst, and made every effort to get her to join the Chicago Police Department's Freak Force devision. She went through the police academy and joined the Chicago Police, having nowhere else to go.
Later still, all members of the team, except Dragon, left the Police Department because of the various restrictions and formed the group of super-powered bounty hunters called Freak Force.
Freak Force was later absorbed into the government team Special Operations Strikeforce and Horridus relocated to Washington D.C.
