The Cosmic Crone
Background:
Grace Davis was born in 1946 to two Golden Age superheroes—DeepSix and Jetstream Jane, elementalists who had fought during World War II. Raised in North Carolina on a small farm, she grew up under the shadow of her parents’ heroic legacy. From a young age, Grace displayed a unique power no one had ever seen before: she was an Omni-Kinetic Psion, able to control, manipulate, and transmute all forms of energy and matter. Her abilities far surpassed those of her parents, and she was soon heralded as one of the most powerful superhumans of her generation.
In the early 1960s, Grace emerged as a shining star in the superhero world, joining the Young Wonders, a team of young, gifted superheroes who represented the future of the hero community. Known by the media as "The Girl Cosmic," she quickly became the darling of the nation—celebrated for her power, beauty, and bravery. However, her life took a tragic turn in 1966 when she was outed as bisexual after a police raid, causing a massive scandal that destroyed her public image.
Abandoned by her team, ostracized by society, and betrayed by the very people who had once adored her, Grace found herself on the run, her life shattered by the weight of prejudice and hatred. The breaking point came when she was attacked by a group of men who sought to "set her straight." In a fit of rage, Grace used her powers to kill them, crossing the line from hero to villain in an instant.
From that moment, Grace embraced her new identity, rejecting the world's judgment and becoming the Cosmic Crone, a supervillain determined to tear down the very system that had betrayed her. Joining forces with Dr. M and other notorious villains, she helped establish New Libertalia, a rogue nation ruled by criminals and outcasts. Over the years, she would become one of the most feared villains on the planet, wielding her powers with terrifying precision and abandoning the heroic ideals she had once fought for. Now, decades later, Grace remains a figure of both awe and terror, a woman who has fully embraced her role as the Cosmic Crone, defying the world that once turned its back on her.
Personality:
Grace Davis, once the embodiment of youthful hope and promise, is now a woman driven by bitterness, cynicism, and rage. The rejection and betrayal she experienced in her early years as a superheroine have left her deeply jaded, and she no longer believes in the ideals of heroism or justice. Instead, she has embraced a worldview where power is the only truth, and those with the ability to seize control should do so without hesitation.
Though she can be charming and gracious, as befitting her Southern upbringing, Grace's true nature is one of cold calculation. She has no qualms about using her beauty, intelligence, or powers to manipulate those around her, and she relishes the fear and respect her name commands. Despite her dark turn, Grace still carries a deep sense of betrayal, believing that society's hypocrisy and hatred forced her down this path.
In battle, Grace is ruthless and efficient, her immense power making her nearly unstoppable. However, beneath her hardened exterior lies the lingering pain of a woman who was once a hero, a woman who wanted to do good but was shattered by a world that refused to accept her. While she claims to have no regrets, there is a part of Grace that mourns the life she could have had—the life that was stolen from her.
