Mystra

Real Name: Mystra

Identity/Class: Android

Affiliations: member of the Misfits, worked for U.S. government

Enemies: Unit One

Known Relatives: None

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Project Misfit

First Appearance: Heroes, Inc Presents #1 (CPL Gang, 1975)

Powers/Abilities: Mystra possessed "great mental powers" including telepathy and the ability to make others do her bidding.

History: An artificially created human, Mystra possessed various mind powers. For reasons she later could not remember, she robbed a bank in New Chicago by simply convincing the staff to hand over money, but outside the bank she collapsed, and her crime was revealed. Sent to Project Misfit, she met and befriended fellow captives, the alien Shag and mutant Glomb. When the advance guard of the alien Unit One attacked Earth, his vast mental powers took control of humanity, paralysing them while the alien's robots began preparations to loot Earth's fissionable materials, but Mystra proved immune to the control and her fellow captives resistant, if not completely immune. Mystra confronted the alien, but found herself outmatched; however, by diverting his concentration, she inadvertently freed Shag and Glomb completely. They destroyed the robots, and Shag slew the alien just before he could kill Mystra. However Mystra had learned from the alien's mind that he came from an entire planet of such beings, a world driven through space by giant rocket motors, turned into a vast interstellar ship traversing from sun to sun looting whole worlds. Since a single alien had nearly defeated Earth, and there was an entire planet full of them on their way, the three outsiders banded together as the Misfits to stop them.

History: When an alien ship from a distant solar system from a distant solar system was damaged by meteorites, it crashlanded on Earth. The sole survivor, Shag, was held prisoner at Project Misfit while the authorities tried to figure out what to do with him, hampered by an inability to communicate as Shag could not speak; though easily able to get out of his cell, Shag chose to stay put initially, waiting for the right moment. When the telepathic human Mystra was subsequently imprisoned in an adjoining cell, Shag made contact, and when another prisoner, the mutant Glomb, went on a rampage, the pair tried to escape, only to run into Glomb. Mystra calmed the mutant, but they were recaptured by guards pursuing Glomb. However, when another alien seized control of the world's minds, Shag joined his fellow prisoners in opposing the invader, ultimately striking the fatal blow that slew the attacker. Informed by Mystra that many more of the alien's kind were on their way, Shag and the others formed the Misfits to protect Earth.
