Blonde bombshell.

Killer Black Widow.

Incredible singer.

Conniving Woman.

 Goldigger.  

These are but a few of the 'kinder' descriptions of Cheryl Acres AKA Acoustic Gold. 

​

In 2012, Cheryl had already amassed quite a reputation as a goldigger, flaunting herself at every rich man she knew since before she was a teenager.  Her schemes ranged from faked pregnancies to renaming herself as a once-dead heiress to outright professional larceny.  By age 20, she had tried every illegal and immoral scheme to get rich quick and kill off any that got in her way. 

Cheryl was married twice; once at 17 years of age to a gold magnate who mysteriously died on their honeymoon (she was arrested, but no proof found or wrong doing) and another time at 18 to another 18 year old heir who died in a tragic boating accident the day after their honeymoon.  Although she truly only married them for their money, she quickly learned in each case that there were secretive financial and legal safeguards in place to prevent her from obtaining any of their money from their wills.

​

In her early adulthood, Cheryl was trained and raised by her grifter parents to lie, cheat and manipulate others so as to allow her family to live a luxurious lifestyle,  staying in expensive hotels and resorts, feeding on the rich and using their wily skills to either extort money from their victims or outright steal their bank accounts.  By age 15, Cheryl wasn't only a pro, but decided to 'cut ties' with her 'embarrassing' and 'loser' parents, as well as her younger sister, by selling them out to mobsters. As such, her parents were killed (still to this day, with their bodies still unfound) and her sister, who was also to be killed, had escaped into the Nevada desert, never to be seen again.

With out any regard for her actions against her family, Cheryl continued on with the con as an adept social robber (influencing others to give her money). She almost always got away with it.

​

A few years ago, Cheryl attempted to steal and swindle from Eugene Adrastos, much to her surprise, unsuccessfully.  Placed in a dank cell on a remote island, she once again used her wily skills to free herself from the prison, but not before Adrastos intercepted her.  Rather than kill her, he offered her to Zenith Labs to pay off a debt with them, such to the fact that if Cheryl survived whatever Zenith Labs did to her, he'd get her back at a discount. Over the next few months, Cheryl was experimented on, tortured and molested by Zenith Lab technicians, scientists and engineers. Cheryl became a broken woman. Her eyes were removed and replaced with digital sonic vision implants (seeing much like sonar), looking much like fly or wasp eyes.  She was a freak. Incredibly enough, Cheryl survived all of this and was returned to Adrastos in her broken yet enhanced state.

Over the next year, Adrastos built Cheryl back up, strengthening her body, applying abnormal psychology to make her mentally acceptable to doing what Adrastos wanted her to do, and of course, learned how to use her new eyes. After being given a costume and a sonic generator pack, she was taught to use her new sonic vision (and the sonic generator's powers) to be a powerful villain, all under his control.  To ensure his control, Adrastos placed a micro-bomb in her head where he'd have remove control to explode if Cheryl somehow got out of line.

After losing one of his 'proteges' in the Gold Syndicate, Adrastos brought in Cheryl as the new syndicate villain, Acoustic Gold. On her first job with the Gold Syndicate for a simple gold robbery, she masterfully pulled off the robbery such that even the guards didn't know the gold had been robbed until the next morning.  Impressed, Adrastos offered her two other chances to test her skills.  Cheryl loved the rush of the heist and had never felt more alive and was more than willing to do the additional robberies, thanks to her mental conditioning done by Adrastos. Her compliant nature was not normal for Cheryl's original psyche, however, and as such, she had many a nightmare about her past, especially about what she'd done to her parents.

Nonetheless, since then, Cheryl as Acoustic Gold has been an incredible asset to the Gold Syndicate. She's started behaving a bit more like she used to be (a tad more manipulative, engrossed in wealth and luxury and is spending a lot of time romancing men).  She is still highly dedicated to the Gold Syndicate and is in a relationship with the Operations team leader, Goldmaster.  She knows what has been done to her and although she isn't 'happy' with Adrastos, she knows she'd be instantly killed by Adrastos if she tried anything. Since Adrastos doesn't fall for Cheryl's wily manipulations, Cheryl has basically accepted her lot in life, and by comparison, isn't as bad as being dead. She has a team ready to support and defend her, she has the team leader in love with her, and she's loaded with millions of dollars in her own secret bank accounts, living that life of luxury she always wanted...although as a crook and a villain.
