Nothing of the sort, in fact. Friday's another import of sorts from the old Iron Man comics. She was one of the string of machine intelligences Tony Stark used to use to coordinate his activities back in the pre-"Avengers Disassembled"/Warren Ellis/What the Hell Is Going On days. In The Iron Age she's the expert system that operates StarkWire.
