Bereket Meki was amongst a group of volunteers from World Vision who were caught in an attack between Eritrea and the Sons of Set from Egypt. The battle was brutal and one-sided - more like a massacre, and Bereket was critically wounded in an explosion. She thought she would die, and without the aid of the French hero Armstrong, who had travelled to Eritrea with members of the Brotherhood to hunt down a diamond thief. Armstrong saved her life and had her flown to Paris where he created an artificial heart and lungs for her which enabled her to regain consciousness. Armstrong further modified her body using his expertise in cybernetics to basically rebuild her body.

Bereket was not initially thankful. She hated to look at what had happened to her body. The lower part of her face had been replaced with metal, the flesh and jaw had been destroyed in the explosion. Armstrong had built her a new body and it was powerful, but Bereket felt like a stranger within it. She stayed in Paris for a year, battling depression but gradually recovering. She eventually returned to Eritrea but found that her home had changed. The government had changed and the new leaders were in league with the secretive criminal organisation base din Egypt.

Menhit tracked her down after being alerted to her return at the airport.

When they met an horrific battle erupted.

Menhit had planned to make an example of the former aid worker, but Bereket surprised the demi-goddess and even herself. She held her own, utilising the strength and speed she now possessed thanks to the cybernetic enhancements of Armstrong. She fought Menhit to a standstill, mostly by surprising her opponent, and when the time was right Bereket slipped away, moving southward and out of the areas of influence.

She made an enemy that day, but she also found her calling. She was called the Silver Sun by the people along the Red Sea because her skin had been replaced in part by silver metal. She kept moving and eventually crossed paths with the Tsholofelo family who gave her a home and supported her crusade against the Sons of Set.

Silver Sun had forgotten what family meant and found herself enjoying the experience, although she would never allow herself to admit it.

Silver Sun's cyborg form is much stronger, faster and more resilient than her human form as well as being capable of enhanced perception predominantly in the sight and hearing fields. Since meeting the Tsholofelos and joining Africa Force 5, Silver Sun has worn a parhelion bodysuit which has further enhanced her strength as well as providing her with a protective force field and the ability to fly. She and Dr Tsholofelo have further worked to integrate her cyborg body with the bodysuit so that she is able to divert unused energy from her body to augment her flight, allowing her to achieve extreme speeds. She has also developed a retractable energy cannon which pops up out of her right forearm.

Silver Sun was severely wounded in Eritrea and Armstrong was only able to keep her alive by substituting many of her internal organs and much of her body with cybernetics and metal. As a result, Silver Sun has a strong titanium frame which is most obviously seen in the lower part of her jaw, her chest and arms and legs. Her eyes were also destroyed and replaced with cybernetic implants.

In costume, Silver Sun wears a parhelion bodysuit which is a skintight blue costume with light grey panels on the sides of the legs and arms, a darker grey for their gloves, boots and mask; and a black belt which displays the team logo. Each member also carries a concealed communicator in their ear. The lower part of her face is covered with dark grey bandages and she wears rose-tinted goggles and an antennae on her helmet which is connected with her brain and enables her to access high frequency radio signals. She wears a bright red shoulder guard which differentiates her from the other team members.
