Fictional character biography
Harley is orphaned at age 11 and grows up as part of a gang that lives in the East End of London. They survive by foraging and stealing. Her incredibly foul language earns her the nickname "Motormouth." When she is 17, Harley is discovered by Laarson, an agent of Mys-Tech, the shadowy organization that is featured in all of Marvel UK's 1990s titles. Harley is a candidate for his MOPED (Mind-Operated Personal Dematerialization) technology. This allows people to jump between alternative realities, but it will only operate on people with certain strands of DNA. The unit is disguised as a pair of training shoes, which Harley finds and tries on. At the same time, Laarson is being executed by Mys-Tech's techno-wizards, and agents are sent to find the MOPED units. In order to save her and the units, Laarson's subordinates activate the technology and send her to another universe.
While still on the run from Mys-Tech, Harley is sent to a future in which the world is covered in shopping malls. It is here that she purchases a Soni-Muta 500 Unit, a microchip that allows her to mentally tune in to any radio station she wants. This would later give her a sonic scream. Harley returns to her own universe and is captured and put to work by Mys-Tech. She escapes after a mission to Tokyo, Japan.
