History
Daughter of Heroes and Monsters
Earth-8009
Earth-8009 is in its 23rd Century. It is indicated that there is a mass sterility to the people of this time, and that, at some point in the past, ("Back-in-the-day") Norman Osborne is responsible for selling superhuman powers to anyone willing to buy them. Seemingly a wasteland after the fallout of some super-human disaster, Earth-8009's populace is split into many factions - those of the men, which are numerous, and those of the women. The Overmen of the past are still worshiped by the Tribes of Men of the present (Earth-8009's present), and the tribes worship those 'Overmen' of the past (some worshipping Wolverine or Sentry for example, and dressing/arming themselves accordingly) and have sworn death to those who do not believe.The United Sisterhood Republic (women of this time) are seemingly more civilized and less tribal. Instead of many tribes, the Sisterhood has come together under their common cause and have a capital city in Milago. The Sisterhood is a more organized collection of females that fend off the men's attacks as well as they can, but fear they need a larger power on their side to tip the scales in their favor.

In exchange for some of Norman Osborne's stolen secrets (compliments of Boudicca), Director Little Sky gave Lyra a place among the ranks of A.R.M.O.R. rather than deport her to her home universe.
Agent of A.R.M.O.R.
Agent of A.R.M.O.R.
Lyra's first assignment as an agent saw her defending Earth-616 against a small-scale invasion by the Cyber-Sidhe of Earth-010001011 in western Nebraska. Their Ogham Code infected Boudicca, temporarily turning her against Lyra. However, Lyra defeated the Cyber-Sidhe in ritual combat and killed their leader, Phinn Mac Mram.Lyra continued to have a friendship with Jennifer Walters, who was helping her get to know Earth-616 better. She also became close with Alexander Erde, the A.R.M.O.R. agent she abducted in Central Park that day she first came to this Earth.
After Jennifer Walters was a week late to visit Lyra in the Hollow, Lyra was concerned for her friend's whereabouts. But Director Little Sky was not interested in an official investigation on Walters' disappearance. It was not A.R.M.O.R.'s concern. Lyra disobeyed and left in a shock-carrier with Alexander Erde. They were ambushed by a trio of genetically enhanced women, bearing the powers of the Abomination, Zzsax and the Glob respectively, and Lyra had to watch Alex die after promising him she would see him through this safely. The trio of women with the powers of these Hulk villains were under the command of General Ryker, who had been released from jail by Norman Osborn shortly after Lyra's encounter with the Director of H.A.M.M.E.R. Inspired by the future that Lyra came from, Osborn has launched a massive genetics-research campaign to harvest and reproduce superhuman powers, and has appointed Ryker to head this program. Intending on sending Lyra back in containment to be dissected and her organs harvested for research, Ryker's superhuman minions were surprised by the new She-Hulk, who managed to escape from their custody before she could be transported, though not before killing the Glob-powered villainess and destroying their aircraft, leaving the two survivors trapped with her in Death Valley.
Powers
It appears she have the standard powers of a "hulk" with one major flaw. The more anger and rage consume her, the weaker she gets. Noting that she was genetically created, this flaw could have been implemented on purpose by her superiors. However her connection with gamma radiation seems to be incredibly deep. Since gamma radiation flows through everything, when she calms herself she perceives everything as a part of her, allowing her to flow easily in combat. In practical application this allows her to see attacks coming, detect weak points and battle more effectively with seemingly no effort.
