During her fight with Sha (for the protection of WAL and the world), Stephanie knew she wouldn't live through the battle. So in a last attempt to save herself from certain destruction she sent a beacon out to N.O.V.A Industries, the place that caused her to become Feral Nova. After being brought to death at the hands of Sha, the N.O.V.A. agents came into the battle field just in time to retrieve Feral Novas body before anymore damage could happen to the now lifeless body.

However... instead of just deciding to throw the body away, Dr. Sting decided to give Stephanie one more chance as him wanting her to be 'The ultimate fighting machine.' So instead of scrapping her and starting from scratch he put her back together. But this time... stronger.

He completely removed the metal armor that was within Stephanie and replaced it with a stronger indestructible metal, a metal that was thought to be impossible to receive. He infused Stephanie's body with True Adamantium, the metal that is even stronger than the Adamentium that Wolverine himself has inside his body. This was the only metal that would have been able to not only withstand the temperatures of Stephanies body but also keep her internal organs and bones from breaking or being destroyed by her powers. He has also figured a way of doing nuclear diffusion the breakdown of nuclear atoms rather than fusing them, causing them to produce a heat hot enough to reach the temperature of 1,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

He then placed a radar sense inside her, this will allow her to see not only body heat of anyone around her but if anyone has a temperature that is too low for even her heat sensors to detected they would be picked up by this. She can now also move at the speed of sound while she is covered in her flames.

But all of this new power and stronger ability's came with a price for Stephanie. During all of this, the dark minded Dr. Sting, took this opportunity to completely erase all the memories, thoughts, emotions and pretty much the free will of Stephanie. Anything that made Stephanie Ardor, Stephanie was now gone. Everyone and everything she held close to her was now gone in her mind. All that is left is a weapon that is to do what it is told, the one thing that Stephanie feared to become when she received her powers in the first place.

After about a week of missing in action Feral Nova was unleashed into the world once more but this time, was left in the hands of a group called, 'The Death Syndicate' to work along side with them. Her only orders that are programmed into her mind are to receive as much information on The Death Syndicate as well as on the group leader Sha and her demon within her Chaos Black and do anything they tell her to do as long as it didnt involve destroying N.O.V.A. Industries or any of its workers and allies.
