History

During election season in the episode Venture Libre, Marsha Backwood came to the Venture Compound with her assistant in tow. Dr. Venture and company had been called away to Puerto Bahia by General Manhowers to deal with the Venturestein problem, leaving only Dean Venture behind to get the door. As he was preparing to restore H.E.L.P.e.R. to his old body, Dean was irate and dressed in clothing reflecting a repairmen or gardener when he answered the door. Marsha introduced herself, resulting in a noncommittal "'Kay" (as in, "okay") from Dean. Backwood mistook this answer for the Spanish word qué], meaning "what", to which she responded by speaking louder and reintroduced herself in basic Spanish. After Dean told her his father had been called by General Manhowers but otherwise brushed her off, Backwood told her assistant to get Manhowers on the phone and to check if Dean was an illegal immigrant.

Meeting with General Manhowers, Backwood launched into a lecture and managed to glean information on where Dr. Venture had disappeared. However, she failed to secure any further help from Manhowers, whom (falsely) claimed that his help was voluntary.

Toward the end of the episode, Backwood showed up in a helicopter above Puerto Bahia coincidentally just as several ships of Abominations arrived. Marsha demanded Dr. Venture's release as a citizen of the United States and one of her constituents. However, she became momentarily distracted by a seemingly lost J-Pad and picked it up. Henceforth, she was killed in the explosion in the J-Pad's built in detonator went off though following her gruesome demise, Dr. Venture cracked his knucles and said he could "fix this".
