general doreen green, aka squirrel girl, aka the unbeatable acorn monster of the deep; is an enigma wrapped in a twisted singularity mixed with nuts. always accused that she was mutant, going so far as to even believe she was one, doreen always wanted to be a superhero. she managed to hunt down the illustrious iron man, following him among the tree-tops as she did everything she could to convince him to let her be his sidekick. sure it was a rather silly question, she should've been more prepared for his response. when he denied her a multitude of times, he was captured by doctor doom. should she rescue him? the question she pondered as she jumped up onto his ship and summoned a horde of squirrels to dismantle the ship and save the hero. this so called heroic action earned her a job as jessica jones and luke cage's nanny.

a nanny! she didn't know what to do with herself. in fact she didn't know what to do with a kid in the first place. the very idea was rather disappointing that she ended up with this job in the first place. though, over the course of a few years she grew strangely attached to the kid. even going so far as to become slightly more protective than she ever thought she would be. knowing though, that this really wasn't what she wanted to do with her life. she made sure danielle was safe, away in school and out of harm's way she moved back into the avenger's attic. it was there she decided to go to college. she wanted a semi-normal life and that was the path she had to take. now, she takes her future quite seriously... no not really. in fact she enjoys the idea of a secret identity. fighting bad guys as squirrel girl, fighting homework as doreen green.

doreen has been linked to speedball, wolverine and even going so far as having a crush on chimpmunk lad. she has amassed a rather large collection of deadpool's villains collector cards and has become friends with even kraven the hunter. no one knows how she managed this and she will never reveal her technique. truthfully she has a way with talking them down and figuring out what is really going on in their large oversized villainous heads.
