Biography
Mylene Hoffman was a female cyborg secret agent for the Number Nine Group and answered to the team’s leader Number Zero. Her colleagues included Vanessa Ibert (009-3), Mia Connery (009-7) and Berta Kastner (009-4). The Number Nine Group operated in the interests of the Western Bloc during the extended Cold War and were often in conflict with their European rivals of the Eastern Bloc.

Mylene’s earliest recorded assignment with the Number Nine Group involved rescuing a Russian defector from the Eastern Bloc named Zond Soyuz. Soyuz had developed an energy source of great magnitude, one that would tip the scales heavily in favor of the Western Bloc. He was being held captive by a man named Ivan Godunov. In order to get a fix on where the Eastern Bloc was holding him, Mylene was forced to seduce their director of intelligence, Lyudmila Schindler.

Along with her colleagues, she air-dropped into the castle keep where Soyuz was being held and fought up against Godunov and Schindler's armed men. Godunov managed to escape with Soyuz and tried to smuggle him aboard a space shuttle bound for Earth's moon. Mylene and the others were unable to save Soyuz's life, but they succeeded in securing his invention and Godunov was killed.
