**Alias(es):** None  

**Affiliation:** Steven Strong Academy  

**First Recorded Appearance:** 2022  

**Power Tier Classification:** S-Class (Memetic Obsession)

===== Abilities Summary =====

==== S-Class Involuntary Psychological Obsession Induction ==== 
Subject has demonstrated an alarming metahuman ability causing instantaneous, compulsive obsession in individuals exposed to her through visual or auditory means. This effect extends to aggressive and even violent behaviors in those affected, leading to chaotic and potentially fatal outcomes in dense crowds or enclosed spaces.

==== Preventative Measures ==== 
Subject's ability appears nullified when she is fully covered, including face mask and full-body attire. Subject also refrains from verbal communication to circumvent auditory-triggered effects.

===== Origin =====
Mary Carpenter, the eldest of the Carpenter triplets, descends from Joseph Carpenter, the enigmatic CEO of Voyage Technologies. While her father's alleged ability leans towards eliciting loyalty, Mary's mutation has proven considerably more volatile.

===== History of Activity =====
Mary's capacity became public knowledge during a singing competition, where her exposure led to a tragic incident, inciting a violent frenzy among the audience. Since this revelation, she has taken drastic measures to contain and control her ability, with limited success.

===== Psychological Profile =====
Due to the hazardous nature of her powers, Mary has developed pronounced anxiety, reclusiveness, and fear of social situations. Her placement at Steven Strong Academy suggests an attempt to pursue education in a controlled environment, albeit under the close scrutiny of John Knight.

===== Criminal Record =====
No direct infractions linked to deliberate misuse of her powers. However, incidents stemming from inadvertent activation of her abilities have resulted in harm, instigating DMC monitoring.

===== DMC Status =====

Mary Carpenter remains a person of significant interest, given her inadvertent potential to cause widespread harm. While not deemed malicious in intent, her unpredictable capability mandates constant oversight.

===== Threat Level =====

**High** - While Mary has not demonstrated malicious intent, the sheer unpredictable nature of her power, combined with the potential for large-scale harm, classifies her as a high-risk entity.

===== Contingency Protocol =====

Agents assigned to monitor Mary Carpenter must utilize advanced surveillance equipment designed for long-range and indirect observation to avert direct exposure to her abilities. Interactions are to be minimized, and agents are to maintain readiness for immediate containment and intervention.
