“ Um, it just hit me. When you were saying we deserve it, were you talking about pimple-face the world destroying freak-fetishist or were you talking about me? ”

—Toggle to Clockblocker, Sting 26.3

Toggle was a member of the post-timeskip Brockton Bay Wards.

Personality

Possibly due to her youth and status as the "baby" of her team, Toggle is somewhat naive, wondering if there is porn of Case 53s, and likes to make jokes.[2]

Appearance

Toggle wears layered body armor featuring circles of light shining in changing colors.[1]

Abilities and Powers

Not much is known about Toggle's powers. When Weaver first meets her, Toggle is described as having "five shadowy silhouettes of herself" that sat around her.[1] Lights flare when she strikes one of Breed's parasites with her baton, and Crucible remarks that although she isn't very useful against the likes of Breed, Murder Rat, Mannequin, or Tyrant, she would be better against different threats.[2]

Equipment

Toggle carries something that looks like a mace or baton that glows with the same pattern as her armor.[2]

History

Post-Timeskip

Toggle worked alongside Weaver and members of the Undersiders and Brockton Bay Wards and Protectorate against the Slaughterhouse 9000, fighting a group that included clones of Breed, Murder Rat, Mannequin, and Tyrant. During this battle, Toggle's shoulder was wounded.[2]

Toggle also worked alongside the Undersiders and the other Brockton Bay Wards against three clones each of Skinslip, Hatchet Face, Miasma, and Murder Rat at Redfield.[3]

Gold Morning

On the back of a PRT van next to her teammates, Toggle saw the footage that heralded the start of Gold Morning, the destruction of Britain by Scion.[4]

It was a girl, flanked by five shadowy silhouettes of herself, who were sitting around her on the other side of the hallway. I’d read up on her, and I knew her as Toggle. The ‘baby’ of the team, it seemed, at fourteen. She held what looked like a mace, but it, along with the layered body armor she wore, had circles of light glowing in shifting colors.
