When the USA entered the Second World War it already had several superweapon projects in the pipeline. Many of these were actually the result of imported science and technology, with nuclear scientists from Germany and radio technology from the UK. As well there was fantastic stuff imported from offworld by the amateur science community in America. Some of this was used to create supersoldiers with enhancement drugs. At first only men of course were subject to the treatment but after experiencing a high rate of disastrous failure it was found that women took to the procedure rather better. As a result a mix of superpowered soldiers made their way across the Atlantic. Many of them carried special shields made from the hull of an alien spaceship that had crashed in the American desert.
Impressed by the wonder people from America the British determined to make their own. They got the US government to share the new technology by pointing out how much of their own they had already passed across despite it costing the UK a fortune in terms of future development of products (at the time the British were quite prepared to sell the family silver to keep fighting. Literally, there were plans to get the public to hand in their wedding rings, jewelry and plate if the financial situation reached terminal crisis). Motivated by this, and also by a desire to show the British that they were not dependent on them for everything and could develop their own superweapons, a UK supersoldier project was started. The result was Pendragon, a young woman from an impeccable family of long history. Naturally a big girl she was turned into an exceptionally towering Amazon. During the war she carried out many daring missions, parachuting into occupied Europe to raid radar stations, rescue downed aircrew and sabotage facilities vital to the German war effort. Not all of these missions went well but she always managed to survive and escape, climbing over mountain ranges and swimming across seas to evade her pursuers.
During this time she worked closely with Christine Chase, her main handler for all the intelligence work needed. The two women could not help but renew the relationship they had had during their school days. Unknown to Christine though Pendragon was also involved with one of the female American supersoldiers. She was still wondering how she could tell them about each other and persuade them that she loved them both and that they should all be together when the final crisis of the war arose. The Nazis had bought in a great deal of offworld technology during the war in their desperate search for superweapons that would avert their defeat. Unscrupulous offworld dealers had been quite willing to exchange it for art treasures looted from across Europe. Knowing that they faced the hangman's noose if they were caught a number of senior Nazi's developed a plan to escape offworld. They built a huge rocket that would carry them up into space and out to the spaceship of a contact of theirs who would take them to a new world as 'refugees from political persecution'. Pendragon and Christine at first though thought that the rocket was the fabled V-3, the weapon that could reach New York. Along with a squad of American superheroes they stormed its secret underground launch bay in the Haarz mountains. Once she realized that they were trying to escape Pendragon got on board to apprehend them, determined that they would be brought to justice. This resulted in her being blasted off into space along with them.
Though she was able to overwhelm her enemies on board the rocket Pendragon found herself helpless when the space pirates brought the rocket into their ship. The villains cheerfully sold her into galactic slavery. She was forced to suffer the taunts of her Nazi enemies as they boasted of how they would found a new Reich offworld and return to exact their revenge. This began a nearly twenty year odyssey across the galaxy as she became at first a slave soldier for a galactic empire, then won her freedom by her bravery and became the consort of its ruling queen, then lost it when the empire was destroyed by the galactic authorities and she was imprisoned as a war criminal. A brilliant lawyer who sympathized and took on her case for free cleared her name because she had been a victim rather than a perpetrator. It then took her many years to work her passage back across the galaxy to Earth. With no regular routes to such a remote and obscure backwater world she had to sign on with any ship going vaguely in the right direction. Eventually though she did succeed in returning home and was dropped off by a flying saucer as it stopped off to abduct a few people for a probulating.
Back on Earth she found it both similar and changed. The superhero community that had been in only a formative stage during the war was now developing rapidly, with a new generation of space superheroes arising. She was welcomed back as a legend and soon resumed her duties with British special forces. With a wider perspective from her cosmic adventures she always refused to do anything that would exacerbate the Cold War and at times this did cause falling outs with her more ardently patriotic American comrades. Her former partners had moved on with their lives and she had to build new relationships for herself.
Pendragon has adventured continuously ever since returning from space, a period now of more than fifty years. In all that time she has apparently not aged a day. She came out about herself many years ago and has had many relationships with other women. Most of them have been superheroes themselves. She favors younger partners, especially as she gets so much older that she has become timeless. Ever since her lost alien queen consort though she has never really wanted to just settle down with one person. To this day she remains the leader of the British superheroes and a significant figure in the international superhero community.
