Nina Mazursky was a member of the Creature Commandos.
History
Nina Mazursky was a scientist for S.H.A.D.E.. She lost her only daughter from a terminal illness at a young age, which led to a divorce. Thereafter, Nina was driven to create the first generation of the Creature Commandos and growed a maternal attachment to them. Unfortunately, her creations were driven insane from lacking the experience to deal with emotions and were thus incapable of coping with their urges, becoming a dangerous threat. Although Nina could not bear of seeing her creations killed, she instead plead to Dr. Ray Palmer in having them imprisoned in a microscopic prison called the Zoo.
Upon learning from her mistakes, Nina created a second generation of the Creature Commandos by having fully formed human beings capable of transformations. She included herself in the experiment, transforming herself into an amphibian woman and joining among the ranks of the Commandos.[2]
