Biography:

Victoria-21 is a computer system created by a computer system.  Her creator is VIC-20.  VIC was created by evil scientist Dr. Obidiah Planters.  His name stands for Virtual Intelligence Computer, and he was the 20th model.

Though created for evil, VIC chose to instead serve the hero called Super-Bob, but now serves most of Earth's heroes.

A few years ago, VIC decided to create a backup copy and upgrade it, to run more efficiently.  This upgrade became Victoria-21.  She was so named because she chose to take on a female persona and was the 21st model.

And she was indeed an upgrade. VIC was tied to the internet, but could still only operate out of hardware.  Victoria on the other hand was able to project a holographic image using satellites.  VIC and Victoria were actually two systems, but were still linked to each other,and also to the web, thus Victoria had access to a vast information network.

Victoria was provided by VIC to work for NighTforce, a team devoted to fighting the evils of the paranormal and the New Power Organization, whose leader was NighTforce, a hero who had worked closely with VIC over the years.

Comments:

All NighTforce members are based on members of a paranormal team I have been associated with.  Of course, VIC-20 has been a character in the Wronskiverse since 1980, and was inspired by my first computer.

Adventures on Other Worlds

Adventures on Other Worlds refers to a magazine and then later a series.

Adventures on Other Worlds was published from September 1978 to November 1979.  It was independently published by Robert E. Wronski, Jr. (which is me.)

The magazine was a sci-fi anthology, with one recurring character, Krazy-El.  Krazy-El was an alien from the planet Kookoorongba who was sent to Earth to observe and report.  He had to try to pretend to be human and had trouble fitting in with Earth culture.

Though the title was cancelled, Krazy-El later appeared as a major part of Super-Bob's storyline in Super Comics, and is now Krazel, aka Space Hero.

In 1981 - 1982, one of the features of Super Comics (the comic anthology) was "Adventures on Other Worlds".  This time, it was about three teenagers who are abducted by alien women from an amazon world called Booer.  The teens escape and then for a year travel to different planets as they try to get home.  Booer and the other planets visited in this series would eventually all resurface in other Super Comics series.  And the trio of teens would themselves return in the recent Crisis.

It should be noted that Adventures on Other Worlds was the original series title for DC's Adam Strange as well, but there is no connection.
