The origin of Super Villains: Bloody Mary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Mary_(DC_Comics)

Bloody Mary was created by Karl Kesel and first debuted in the Hawk and Dove issue "Girls Night Out". She made subsequent appearances in the Adventures of Superman and Wonder Girl titles.[1] She is a different character than the Bloody Mary supervillain featured in the Batwoman comics.[2] The character and name derives in part from the folklore legend of Bloody Mary, a ghost who is said to appear in a mirror when her name is chanted repeatedly.[1]

A member of the junior Female Furies,[3][4] Bloody Mary is an energy vampire that enjoys sucking the life out of her victims.[5][1][2] She also flies using a disk and can project energy out of her eyes that can hypnotically manipulate her enemies.[2] She hates being touched, and will attack anyone who dares to do so. She has only worked with the Furies on a few occasions.

When a mysterious figure began murdering various New Gods, Bloody Mary joined her warrior sisters in an unsuccessful attempt to have Wonder Girl join their ranks for further protection.[2] Bloody Mary was killed in the "Clash of the Titans" issue of Wonder Girl in 2008 during a fight alongside other members of the Female Furies.[2] She was killed by Infinity-Man,[2] and has not returned since.[1]

Bloody Mary can absorb energy from her victims through vampiric blood sucking. After this is done she can mentally control her victims.[5] She can project beams from her eyes that are able to telekinetically move objects or people. Mary also possesses the ability to sense the presence of other beings in her immediate area.
