What if the Superhero is left powerless by a little H2O?

During my youth years, I always loved the different types of superheros some more than other, and some was just ridiculous. So two nights ago, we was watching a T.V show and came up with this simple concept.  Tell me what you think?

A superhero that is left powerless by water?  She human a scientist, basically sometimes called MAD. She technically tried an experimentation on herself in trying to increase oxygen going to the brain. She thought that this would work to help improve IQ level in kids and also help in some degenerative brain diseases.  Like always doing experiments on ones self can not be a good idea.  And with all experimentation it went arrayed and now she has memories that are not her known. ( She also has her memories).

So after the accident she was fired and now works as a college professor teaching science on her free time she tries to help the cops with cold cases, calling in tips to the hot-lines leaving them clues well that how it started, but they started solving a lot of cases due to her tips and needed to investigate where the tips was coming from due to their clarity of each event. In fact some of her memories are of dead people pre dating back to even World War I.  Which may be difficult because sometimes she can be reliving more than one event.

Furthermore, there are no superheros that are perfect.  She keeps a book to try to keep all the memories in order by writing down the persons name or what era it looks like it fit in.  She also sees a shrink once or twice a week, who tries to discredit her and thinks she it suffering from PT SD or Multiple personalities.

Although, she probably can school anyone on any topic, it getting very hard for the shrink to prove or discredit her but he ( the shrink) is willing to try.

There is one disadvantage to this story, one of the memories that she has is about a female child about 6 to 7 years of age getting baptist by a minister and something went wrong in the lake.  The child was hold down under water for a long period of time, because the Minister and the congregation thought the child was evil and that evil spirit was within the child. They thought that this was the only way to set the child free. The Minister felt the life left the child and assumed it was the spirit he has cast out.  They was a moment of silence and then loud crying.

Our superhero relived this event everyday, and is the only event she can not solve as yet.  But she is so effected by this flashes of event that she has aqua phobia ( fear of water) that when ever she is surround by it even small puddles of water, she has anxiety attack ( panic with cold sweats) and in the meanwhile reliving the event as it was her own memories.
