==Miranda in [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]]==
 
Miranda is the same woman in ''LLH'' as her ''FiC'' counterpart, but with certain obvious differences (to reflect the nature of the setting). In the ''LLH'' 'Mini' ''Today, Everyone Is Irish'', [[Julia Carlyle]] (in a conversation to [[Trent Lane]]) revealed that Miranda served with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MI5 the British organization known as ''Box 500''], and participated in a number of highly successful operations against the Axis powers. During her time in service, she was awarded a field commission in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Royal_Naval_Service Women's Royal Naval Service] as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Royal_Naval_Service#Ranks_and_uniform Second Officer (the equivalent of a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy).]
 
Miranda gave birth to her son [[Spaulding Carlyle|Spaulding]], who in turn fathered [[Forbes Carlyle|Forbes]], who gave birth to [[Julia Carlyle|Julia]]. Miranda served until the end of World War II, and then spent her time adventuring (which she did for at least the next ten decade).

===Powers===
 
Miranda possesses superhuman powers (as do all members of the Clan Carlyle). She possesses the ability to control, project and redirect inertial forces (both actual and potential), but can only use this ability when in direct contact with either an active energy source or an object that can create said inertial forces (for example, she can literally stop a vehicle moving at full speed in its tracks without harming anyone aboard, and use its own force to crack it open or fling it backwardin another direction. She also cannot be harmed by ballistic or edged weapons (or secondary effects of thosesuch weapons, such as tasers or incendiary rounds), blunt force trauma, falls from even great heights, exotic concussion weapons (such as a [[PFT Weapon]]) or blows from even beings of vast superhuman strength. From her experiences, there is no known upper limit to Miranda's ability to absorb and redirect kinetic energies.
 
Miranda possesses a high level of resistance to the harmful secondary effects of any weapons-effect or hostile environment that she is exposed to. Her body will simply respond to the stimulus and adapt to protect her; her form does not physically change to respond to these effects. In addition, Miranda's body generates a limited defensive field around her body, which provides a moderate level of protection for any garments or equipment that she wears, as well as for any person in direct physical contact with her. Miranda has found that, through concentration, she can increase both the level of intensity to her defensive field and the number of persons that she can protect with her field.
