BACKGROUND DETAILS:

White Falcon Pilot, Melody Angel's background gives her as a former Olympic athlete, though there is no indications of what was or were the disciplines she performed in, nor if she had won any kind of medals. She displays formidable fighting skills in the episode 'Fallen Angels' which might suggest that her Olympic discipline might be related to martial arts.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND INTERESTING FACTS:

The new Melody Angel's features were based on singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, as she appeared in the 2001 movie The Wedding Planner, and the character appears to be a light black-skinned woman. She is a totally different character from the character which appeared in the original 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons series. However, the original Melody was created as a Black person, which might be the only similarity with the new Melody, if the latter is indeed a pale-skinned Black woman.

The new Melody speaks with a a mid-Atlantic accent, which might suggest that she's from from the East Coast (possibly New England), or received a theatrical or classical education.

Melody was a little more used in the series than Rhapsody and Symphony, and was prominently featured in the episode 'Fallen Angel', where she was voiced by Heather Tobias, who also re-recorded the dialogues for the character's earlier appearances of the character in 'Virus' and 'Enigma', replacing material which had been previously performed by Emma Tate.  In the early episode 'Swarm', however, Melody remained voiced by Emma Tate.
