Aya Brea was born in Boston, Massachusetts on November 20, 1972. Aya had a sister named Maya who, along with her mother, died in an car accident in December 1977. At a very young age, she and Maya were subjects of the evil experiments of Dr. Hans Klamp. After Maya's death one of her corneas was transplanted into Aya in 1986. At the same time, one of Maya's kidneys was transplanted into Melissa Pearce, another of Klamp's experimental subjects. As a young woman, Aya studied criminology at the University of Virginia, and was involved in their ROTC program. She later became a detective with the NYPD's 17th Precinct, forming a sort of father/daughter relationship with her partner and mentor, a veteran NYPD detective Daniel "Bo" Dollis.

Within the first six months of working at the precinct, Aya becomes deeply involved in a catastrophic event later known as the New York Blockade Incident. It began on December 24, 1997, when she went on a date to an opera performance at Carnegie Hall, which starred Melissa Pearce as the lead. During the performance, Maya's advanced mitochondria, which had lain dormant in Melissa for 11 years, awaken and transform her into Mitochondria Eve, who then kills everyone in Carnegie Hall via spontaneous human combustion, except for Aya who is immune. Over the next six days, Aya battles Eve and the creatures she spawned, known as Neo-Mitochondrial Creatures (NMCs), all across Manhattan, greatly assisted by the strange powers that she starts to exhibit.
