Background
Casey's journey as an Omega took a distinctive path due to her genius-level intelligence and her innate ability to understand, manipulate, and innovate new technology. Unlike others, she struggled to accept her gift, leading her to seek ways to manage and potentially silence her abilities.
Abilities
Ex Machina's primary power lies in her exceptional intelligence and technological prowess. She demonstrates a unique capability to interact with and create advanced technology, which seems almost beyond human comprehension.
Inner Conflict and Disruptor Device
Plagued by obsessive thoughts and the constant presence of her abilities, Casey embarked on creating a disruptor device aimed at quieting her mind. She became convinced that this technology could benefit all Omegas and potentially reunify humanity, a belief that stemmed from the global turmoil caused by the emergence of Omegas.
Relationships
As a member of the Omega Men, her relationships evolved over time. While close with Kestrel, she was unaware of his interest due to her dedication to the disruptor device. She initially shared a connection with Firebrand, but that also deteriorated as she became more obsessed with her invention. Bad Bangs and especially Crowlia harbored doubts about her intentions, leading to strained dynamics within the group.
Ideological Conflict with Kestrel
Her most significant conflict was with Kestrel, revolving around the disruptor technology. While Casey viewed it as a unifying tool, Kestrel feared its potential misuse against Omegas, sparking a fundamental disagreement that impacted the entire group.
