Female Furies - Members

Members

The Female Furies have included both native Apokoliptians and brainwashed Earth people. The natives include:

  • Artemiz - An archer with bio-seeking arrows and a pack of cyber-hounds. Not to be confused with the Amazon Artemis, who took the identity of Wonder Woman for a time.
  • Bernadeth - Sister of Desaad, armed with a burning "fahren-knife". Often challenges Lashina's leadership.
  • Bloody Mary - A vampire-like character with energy-draining eye-beams. Deceased.
  • Gilotina - A young Fury who could slice through things with karate chops, later abandoned the Furies to work with Project Cadmus, though inevitably returned.
  • Knockout - A Superboy villain who, like Barda, escaped the Furies. She has super-strength and views life-or-death battle as flirting.
  • Lashina - The field leader of the Furies. She is armed with flexible steel bands which she can control telekinetically. On one occasion, during a Furies mission to fetch the disgraced Glorious Godfrey for Darkseid, Lashina was betrayed by her teammate Bernadeth and became stranded on Earth. During her Earth exile, she joined the Suicide Squad under the name "Duchess". She eventually led the Suicide Squad on a mission to Apokolips, where she killed Bernadeth. Darkseid brought Bernadeth back to life and slew Lashina in turn, but has since resurrected Lashina as well.
  • Mad Harriet - A cackling madwoman with razor-sharp claws. Deceased.
  • Malice Vundabar - The niece of Virman Vundabar. Apparently even younger than Gilotina, she resembles the titular character in Alice in Wonderland, and controls a savage, disembodied mouth called Chessure (see Cheshire Cat).
  • Speed Queen - As her name suggests, Speed Queen has super-speed. She was killed by the entity targeting New Gods after she discovered Grayven.
  • Stompa - A Female Fury who creates earthquakes by stamping her feet and also has high super strength. She was presumed dead after an encounter with Wonder Woman and Big Barda, but has since returned.
  • Twilight's Mother - Name unknown, she escaped the Furies centuries ago, and left her daughter to be raised on Earth, where she eventually became a Supergirl villain/supporting character.
  • Wunda - The most recent Fury. She is a black woman with light-based powers.

The following characters are known to have been brainwashed into becoming members:

  • Alianna Hubbard - The first human to be trained as a Female Fury. She debuted in Mister Miracle #25 (September 1978).
  • Batwoman - Kate Kane was one of the brainwashed heroes of Earth who served Darkseid in Final Crisis. Her appearance harkened to the deceased Mad Harriet.
  • Catwoman - Selina Kyle, one of the many brainwashed villains who served Darkseid in Final Crisis. Her appearance bore resemblance to the deceased Lashina.
  • Giganta - Renamed Gigantrix, the brainwashed Giganta served under Darkseid in Final Crisis, in a uniform that harkened to the deceased Stompa, and made reference to Giganta's past as an ape. Her intelligence had been limited by her brainwashing.
  • Wonder Woman - Renamed Wondra, Wonder Woman was brainwashed by the Anti-Life Equation and the Morticoccous virus in Final Crisis #3. She served as the new leader of the Furies in their quest to hunt down super-heroes and super-villains who escaped Darkseid's clutches and wore a mask resembling an ape with a horned chin.
  • Kara Zor-El - Supergirl was brainwashed by Darkseid.

Famous quotes containing the word members:

    A commercial society whose members are essentially ascetic and indifferent in social ritual has to be provided with blueprints and specifications for evoking the right tone for every occasion.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . . Between the two opposing myths lies reality. The recognition of reality is, I believe, the most important step toward the building of a successful second family.
    Claire Berman (20th century)

    Safe in their Alabaster Chambers—
    Untouched by Morning
    And untouched by Noon—
    Sleep the meek members of the Resurrection—
    Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
