The First Engineer
He was part of a group called the Changers, led by The High, who wanted to change the world by removing the structure of society itself. The Changers are a Fictional group of super-heroes published by Wildstorm an imprint of DC Comics. There would be no more laws, no authoritarian structures, no crime and no war. The Engineer's part of this plan was to seed nanotechnological oases across the planet, that would be "horns of plenty" providing every imaginable food, product and tool anybody needed. Nanotechnology, sometimes shortened to nanotech, refers to a field of Applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an Atomic and Molecular In Geography, an oasis (plural oases) or Cienega ( Southwestern United States) is an isolated area of vegetation in a Desert, typically The cornucopia ( Latin: Cornu Copiae) is a symbol of food and abundance dating back to the 5th century BC, also referred to as horn 'o' plenty Stormwatch attacked their base to stop them and the Engineer was killed by a Hammerstrike Deep Sanction Missile, a biowar payload and tailored acid bomb that destroyed him and his nanotechnology.

The first and only one of his nanotechnological oases, the Garden of Nevada, came back to haunt Stormwatch. It was used to create weapons, such as brain-powered guns, before being neutralized by Apollo and Midnighter on behalf of Stormwatch. Midnighter is a Fictional Comic book Superhero, best known as a member of the rogue superhero team The Authority. [2] Most of the trees ended up on the Stormwatch spacecraft.
Angela Spica
After the first Engineer was killed, Angela "Angie" Spica's home computer filled up with all his nanotechnology notes and started linking it to her work in human-machine fusion. Nanotechnology, sometimes shortened to nanotech, refers to a field of Applied science whose theme is the control of matter on an Atomic and Molecular Spica had known him in real life, but she didn't know he was the Engineer until then. She distilled an incalculable number of intelligent devices into nine pints of liquid machinery and replaced her blood with it. Blood is a specialized Bodily fluid that delivers necessary substances to the body's cells €”such as nutrients and oxygen—and transports Waste products This nanotechnology gives her vast mechanical abilities: the liquid metal covers her body at will, allows her to fly and to create many things, such as radio-telepathy bugs, weaponry, rocket engines, replacement lungs to cope with unfamiliar atmospheres and even additional copies of herself.
Jenny Sparks recruited her as a founding member of The Authority. Jenny Sparks, also known as "The Spirit of the 20th century" is a Fictional character in the Wildstorm Comic book universe created by The Authority is a Superhero Comic book published by DC Comics under the Wildstorm imprint
In the "Transfer of Power" storyline, Spica was replaced by "Machine", a woman from Japan who received the nanotechnology extracted from the Engineer's body.

Spica's blood was temporarily replaced with that of a heroin addict.

Spica's deep desire for revenge on Machine was thwarted when it was learned she had been killed by fellow teammate Apollo.
Spica has an open on/off relationship with Jack Hawksmoor, but she also slept with The Doctor on one occasion. Jack Hawksmoor is a Fictional Comic book character whose adventures are published by Wildstorm Productions. She also had a brief fling with a squat, hairy Mexican (a type she is very attracted to to) she picks up in a bar. It ends badly. [3]
Spica was apparently sexually assaulted during her school-age years by a renegade Doctor who travelled back in time while they were fighting. [4]
