Biography

Candi Pyponte-Le Parc III was a spoiled young child, knowing little of what her father made his riches from until a protestor caught her in a "gene-bomb" explosion, transforming her into a hulking, Khund-like brute.

She then joined the Amazers as Monstress, and served until, after the joining the fight against Mordru, asked to join the Legion. After a brief discussion between Live Wire, Invisible Kid and Kinetix, she was accepted.

She served the Legion with distinction, albeit terrorising the Athramites with her exhausting costume-change sessions, even after her close friend Element Lad casually changed her skin colour again, to orange, without thinking about how it might annoy her.

Ironically, it was at the Element Lad's hands she would die, after refusing to believe he had gone mad, she was declared "variant" by him and vaporised with a touch of his hand.

Powers and abilites

Monstress was super-strong and resiliant.
