Real Name: Edith (Edie) SawyerEdie comes from a very rural area (read "backwoods"), but has kept that fact fairly secret. The team found out only due to a mistake in transit that she made. Later, Edie revealed to Orphan that she always wanted to get out of that town, which is why her power turned into teleportation. She also revealed that she got pregnant at 15, but her mother faked that it was her own baby, which is why Katie was raised thinking that Edie is her big sister. As soon as the baby was born, Edie teleported to Hollywood and never looked back. Ironically, Edie's own father was just "passing through town," an arrangement made by her parents since her father could not have children.
U-Go Girl is one of the more popular members of X-Force, but is often looked at with sympathy because of bouts with alocholism or depression (mostly feigned to cover problems with her powers). She is one of the more commercially-minded team members, and has no qualms about using her powers for personal gain. She even filled in for Larry King on his CNN show and was offered her own TV series, before that was given to Lacuna instead.
Nothing else is known about Edie's life before X-Force, and little before the Boys R Us massacre, except for the fact that she and Zeitgeist were intimate on at least one occasion. Following the deaths of most of her original teammates, U-Go Girl was hoping to be named leader, as she had seniority, only to be incredibly upset when the Orphan was appointed instead. Rumors abounded that she was going to form a splinter group, but that never happened. Instead, Edie tried to convince the Orphan to run away and hide from his job, but he wouldn't. Shortly afterwards, when the stimulant began to degrade her control of her powers, Edie checked into a clinic. While there, she was visited by Coach, who was unhappy with Orphan's refusal to hand over young Paco Perez for dissection. Coach offered Edie the leadership of X-Force - if she would kiil the Orphan. U-Go Girl accepted, and popped in on Guy, distracting him with a request for a drink while she fully loaded his Russian Roulette gun. However, when she returned to Coach she was struck with remorse, and wanted to go back and save Orphan, but Coach drugged her. However, Edie was not unconscious, and fought Coach when he tried to kill her. In the struggle Coach's gun went off, but Edie was unharmed.
Later, Orphan and U-Go Girl developed a mutual attraction, but before acting on it, Orphan told Edie that she had to get her increasingly erratic 'ports under control. She told him about her childhood and motherhood, and he took her to her parents' home to see her family. Edie wanted to tell Katie the truth about her ancestry, but didn't, hoping to save her the grief that would ensue if she died on a mission. Afterwards, Edie felt relieved to have lifted the repressed emotions, and began teleporting with much more accuracy. Of course, it could have been the better version of the stimulant she received, too. She and Orphan then consummated their relationship.
On their next mission (to defeat the mutated convicts called the Bush Rangers), Edie, Guy and Tike got trapped on a drifting spaceship, with only a two-person lifeboat available. They rolled dice to see who would die, and Tike lost (on purpose). Unfortunately, this didn't help U-Go Girl, who was killed when a Bush Ranger posing as Spike shot a bone spur into her stomach. Her body was covered in a shroud and sent off into space.
Some months later, U-Go Girl was contacted by Dead Girl when a dead villain calling himself the Pitiful One used the Eau du Profundis to resurrect himself and other dead superhumans for 24-hour periods. Edie was brought in to help Orphan get a grip on himself, since he had been asking about her since he realized that she would be in the afterlife. At first Guy was depressed and self-deprecating, but Edie told him to stop and he began to regain his leadership qualities. After Dr. Strange was pulled out of the afterlife, Edie offered to take them away to a private place, but Guy demanded that they complete their mission. Afterwards, Edie laughingly blew Guy off, but he knew he would see her again...
