Ed's Notes: So I guess she's like an anti-villain now, but this is meant to be her as she originally appeared: as a straight up villain. With regard to her Powers, I don't usually use Blood of Heroes material, but in this case they were just too perfect, and DCH doesn't really have equivalent powers. (Sure, one could substitute Self Link (Lightning) for 
Electric Being, and the DCH RPG Wiki used Self Link (Electrical Control) instead, but Electrical Being, IMHO is really what's going on here.) And Electrical Control is basically like Flame Control, only for Electricity, so again: Basically perfect. I've included Write-Ups for each Power so that people who don't have BoH can still see what they're all about. Again... I do NOT plan to make a habit of this, but in this case they just fit too perfectly not to.

(EDIT: On the other hand, combining Self-Link (Lightning) and Teleportation, along with a Limitation similar to the Atom's is also pretty perfect. So I've added all that to the write-up anyway.)

And just to verify, YES, the comic below came out BEFORE the Episode of the Superman Animated Series that she first appeared in. So this IS her First Appearance.


First Appearance: Superman Adventures #5 (March, 1997)
