Omen

Lili, Red (Nickname)

Lilith Jupiter (Alias)

## **History**

### **Lilith Clay: 1991 - 2003**

Loren Jupiter's security forces thought they had Aubery cornered nearly a year later, but when they raided the apartment they only found a black market doctor and a crying baby still covered in afterbirth. The child was brought to Loren Jupiter but he felt the child was a painful reminder of her mother's betrayal, even naming her "Lilith" out of spite.

Loren soon came to his senses and realized the child deserved a father who loved her. He told Clay, his head of security, to make arrangements for the child to have a good home. Clay had a son whose wife had been unable to get pregnant and decided they should raise her. Frank and Kelly Clay loved Lilith dearly, raising her in National City. Lilith's dad worked for the government doing important work but when he was in town, the two were inseparable. Lilith would often fall asleep beside him as they watched old war movies together or he told her PG-rated versions of his missions.

One day, someone called Max came to twelve-year-old Lilith's home while her father was out of country for work. Max claimed Frank had defected and aligned himself with a terrorist organization, stealing experimental weaponry, and killing dozens of US soldiers. Lilith called Max a liar.

Max seemed shocked by Lilith's accusation, as if she were the first person to ever call them such to their face. They told the story again and specifically told her to believe it. She did not. She could not.

Ignoring Lilith, Max turned to Kelly, told her she was about to feel overwhelmed by this news and should go upstairs, get one of the guns Frank kept in the house, and end her suffering. Insisting only then would she feel "okay". With tears in her eyes, Kelly slowly nodded. Lilith did not understand what was happening as Max left and her mother walked upstairs. Lilith followed her mother and saw her take a gun from the closet. Lilith screamed at her, telling her she was scaring her. Kelly smiled and said "It's okay, Lilith. Max said it would be okay".

Those were Kelly Clay's final words before pulling the trigger.

## **Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses**

### **Powers**

**Metahuman Physiology:** Inheriting her powers from her mother, Lilith power has to bring others into a mental landscape allowing her and the people she brings in to manipulate her surroundings at will.

* **Telepathy:** Lilith has been described as an "Alpha-Class Telepath" and has demonstrated mental powers that easily rival, if not surpass those of the villainous telepath Psimon. Lilith can perceive and interact with the mind, consciousness, and thoughts of herself or others using their minds, thus being able to read & sense another person's thoughts, communicate with them mentally, and a plethora of other capabilities through non-physical means. Her ability to erect a psychic shield for the protection of herself and others' minds. She has the ability to telepathically mask one's presence and the use of their abilities from being detected by other psychic entities. These defenses can be extended to others around them as well. The ability to manipulate other people's minds achieves a variety of effects up to and including mind control, to project one's astral form from her body onto astral planes or the physical plane over vast distances, to manipulate the dreams of others, ability to control and use another's body as their own, to take another person's mind from their body and effectively trapping that mind within her own, and able to psychically scan the area around them to detect any threats nearby.
	+ **Mind Link:** She has the ability to develop a mental link with any person which remains as a connection to that individual. Omen is able to open a psionic communication line with another being, rendering her capable of having conversations with others using their minds. Omen can contact targets and cause them to hear mental communication like speech. She can translate languages by using telepathy, usually by linking minds with the target the user is communicating with. She is able to open up channels of communication with others who may be incapable of physical speech or communicate to a deaf person by linking their minds. She can use their talent with telepathy to create/construct or locate a "relay station" within a group, allowing a special "connection" to one another without unnecessary confusion. She can temporarily fuse their consciousness with that of another, resulting in a sharing and transference of knowledge, emotions, and memories. Omen can create a sensory/empathic bond between one or more individuals, this may include emotions, feelings, damage, and even death.
	+ **Mental Hallucination:** She has the power to create three-dimensional images of certain visual concepts from thoughts and emotional impressions within the minds of herself and others. Originally, Omen could only create images of the objects of other people's greatest fears. Later, she learned how to reach into another person's subconscious and project an image of the object of that person's "heart's desire. Still later, under Martian Manhunter's further training, Omen learned to use her power to derive and project more specific images from another person's mind that were unrelated to such strong emotional states. Moreover, she learned how to project such images around herself and others in order to alter the appearance of herself and others. Omen could use her power to derive and project mental images on several people at once. Each "victim" would see a different image, corresponding to his or her own individual concept of the kind of image that Omen sought. If, for example, she sought to make a group of people each see the object of their greatest fear, probably each person in the group would see an image of a different person or thing.
	+ **Precognition:** Omen possessed the psionic power of precognition: the ability to perceive in her mind's eye the events of possible futures. Omen could mentally scan the probability spectrum of alternate futures and mentally perceive the sounds and sights of events that distinguished them. By concentrating she could focus on only the most probable alternate futures. She could comfortably scan the alternate futures that existed from one second away up until those that existed fifteen minutes away. Hence, she could be 97% accurate in her predictions of the future ten seconds away or less. Her long-range scanning could be of great use in the early detection of possible random factors that could disrupt her partners’ plans. The more likely that a particular alternate future would manifest itself in her reality, the clearer and more distinct her mental impression of it would be. By active participation in the events around her, she could help shift the probabilities toward desired ends. Her personal phenomenal field, that area with which she could not scan the future for events that might take place on the other side of the world or even a mile away.
	+ **Psionic Inundation:** Omen can project harmful psionic volleys of emerald attacks made from her psychic energy to attacks of various shapes or intensities, which result in brain damage such as erasing the memories of others ranging from a certain memory or erasing a person's entire memory/personality, inducing a state of unconsciousness onto others, disrupting their thoughts either by intention or merely by presence, inducing a state of catatonias, such as a lack of movement and communication, she can overwhelm her victims with unwanted sentiments and feelings that have been harboring the victims' conscious. She also has the capability to force others to experience all their deepest sentiments at once and also can include agitation, confusion, and restlessness. Her victim is left in a stupor, unable to interact with the world around them, she can include the ruination of the concentration of others or causing others to spout gibberish/behave erratically, and she can attack a target mentally and cause their upper brain functions to shut down temporarily or permanently, causing anything from pain to incapacitation to unconsciousness to outright brain death.

### **Weaknesses**

**Possible Futures:** The accuracy of Omen's ability to foresee future events decreased in direct proportion to the number of alternate futures to scan. Less likely alternate futures would appear hazy and indistinct. For example, when she, Mystique and the Brotherhood tried to assassinate Robert Kelly, she saw a future where mutants were feared and respected, but apparently ignored the vision where murder would result in a future with mutants being hunted down and exterminated by the Sentinels. If she left her precognitive perceptions fully open, she would "see" an overlapping succession of images drift in and out of focus as probabilities shifted and further elements transpired.

## **Trivia**

* Unlike most of the first generation of Titans, Lilith was not a controversial member, being just 12 years old in 2003. She mostly kept her head down and read books.
* When the Titans graduated, she hung around Vic, Gar and Rachel, eventually moving to Mt. Justice since she had nowhere else to go. She did not join up with Young Justice, but would occasionally help out from the base. Later, when the Titans started up again, she became a mentor and eventually became an active member of the Team.
* After being caught trying to enter the country to reach his daughter, Franklin Clay was reported to have been killed in a firefight, but his demise turned up to be exaggerated as he turned up alive in various foreign countries.
* The "Max" responsible for Kelly's death might be Maxwell Lord or Max, the Losers enemy.
