Kate Mason

From The Bionic Wiki

[edit] Played by Sandra Bullock

Kate Mason was confined to a wheelchair since she was 6 yrs. old due to congenital disease and muscular deteriaration. She volunteered for a new bionic proceedure that could allow her to walk once again. Her bionics differ from her predicessors in that hers are implanted into her viens as well as her bones to allow for potential growth rather than actual limb replacement. A signal sent to the computer stitched into Kate's brain would send an electrical current to the various implants that would stimulate the muscles throughout her body. While the operations were many, the process took six months to complete; but the activation of Kate's bionic parts was nothing short of the flip of a switch.
