Mae was the youngest of three children, she had a fascination with all things science from an early age. She earned her doctorate in medicine from Cornell University in 1981.

After working as a GP, Mae was a volunteer in the Peace Corps, spending time in the African countries of Sierra Leone and Liberia. In addition to English, she speaks Russian, Japanese and Swahili. Mae applied to NASA's astronaut program and after a year of training became the first female African American astronaut. On Sept. 12, 1992 the space shuttle Endeavour carried her and six other astronauts on 126 orbits around the Earth.

In The Remarkablz Universe, Mae can enhance the speed at which she and her team travel. During a mission deep in the heart of a conflict zone, she encountered a strange energy field—an unstable gravitational anomaly pulsing at impossible frequencies. When Mae tried to shield her team, the anomaly wrapped around her, altering her connection to time itself.
From that moment on, Mae could manipulate her perception of time. While the world around her slowed to a crawl, she could move at lightning speed—making her a blur in battle. Known as The Sonic Sentinel, who fights for a better future—on Earth and beyond—guided by science, empathy, and the belief that everyone belongs among the stars.
