Tempest

• Tempest is Nicolette Giroux, formerly an international game warden dedicated to environmental issues. As Tempest, she can make herself intangible by transforming into wind. She can also fly.
• In her first appearance, Nicolette was tracking some illegal trappers in Northern Australia when she heard a silent call emanating from the depths of a nearby cave. Inside the cave, Nicolette came across the Waterfall of Watoomb and entered it, transforming herself into an avatar of Watoomb. Watoomb was a mystical being who, along with seven other beings, disagreed as to who had the greatest power. They took part in what was called the Wager of the Octessence. Watoomb and the other seven beings each created an artifact that contained some of their respective power, and the first human who made physical contact with an artifact would be transformed into an Exemplar, a living personification of the power. Nicolette Giroux was one of the people who had been unfortunate enough to find one of these artifacts.
• After her transformation into Tempest, Nicolette participated in the Eighth Day storyline alongside her fellow Exemplars, but they were defeated by Spider-Man, Thor, and Iron Man. She later assisted her associates in kidnapping the Juggernaut, whom they wanted to execute for being a traitor to the cause. At one point, her fellow Exemplar Decay destroyed some flowers she had brought to a stone plaza built by Stonecutter, another Exemplar. Tempest became enraged and attacked Decay. The Avengers eventually came to the Juggernaut’s rescue and defeated Tempest and the Exemplars, who all promptly vanished.
