## Biography

### Early life

Not much is known about Amunet's early life but she was decribed as being someone everyone picked on in her old job. After gaining her powers, it is presumed she killed everyone who disrespected her.

### Meeting Caitlin and Leslie

After Caitlin obtained her powers and began to rob banks in order to pay her rent, Amunet found her and witnessed the chaos she could cause and saw a bright future, and a good henchwoman, Amunet then hired Caitlin for some extra muscle.

One night when doing a deal with Ricardo Diaz, Amunet jumps when he is shot in the back with a beam of electricity and all of his men are incapacitated. A light flickers and out comes Livewire who has come to interrupt the deal and steal their electronics for energy. Just as she was about to get shocked, Amunet stops Livewire and proposes a deal, Livewire works for her and she will get all the money she wants. Livewire quickly agrees and off they walk to Amunet's lair.

### Confrontation with Team Arrow

After launching a huge attack on the Starling City SCIS Department, Amunet's empire is finally revealed to the city and Green Arrow and The Canary are not happy that a major crime lord had been living under their noses ever since they started. The heroes blow down the door of Amunet's club and begin their fight, Amunet runs to the back room while Killer Frost and Livewire attack head on. After a long fight Black Canary incapacitates Livewire and Green Arrow knocked Killer Frost out with a tranquilliser dart only to discover that Amunet had escaped mid-fight.

They take Killer Frost in but hand Livewire over to the SCIS. They somehow talk Killer Frost out of being a criminal and put her on a better path, but she still wasn't done with Amunet.

### Death

Amunet tries to collect her things to flee the city but Killer Frost shows up before she could leave. Angry that Frost betrayed her, Amunet fires three pieces of pointy metal at her and successfully hits her in the shoulder with one. She begins to beat down on Killer Frost with her metal fist until Black Canary shows up and uses her scream to knock Amunet across the room. Killer Frost, angry as ever, makes an icicle in her hand and walks to Amunet and pulls her up by the collar. Black Canary tries to talk some sense into Frost but it is too late as the icicle plunges deep into Amunet's chest and she dies slowly.

### Resurrection and return

Amunet Black was later resurrected by Black Siren in her bid to control Starling City. After her return, Amunet Black made a criminal organization to help Black Siren control Starling City.

## Personality

Amunet was shown to be highly intelligent as proven how she kept a low profile. She appeared to have no remorse what she did shown by her selling meta humans to businessmen. She appeared to have a god complex when she battled Killer Frost. Amunet also seems to have had an eccentric side to her nastiness. She spoke with courtesy and valued manners despite the often barbaric and horrendous situations she was personally overseeing or causing.

She appears to have a god complex when she battled Killer Frost and promised to make her pay. However, she will help others if its in her own interest; she provided Team Flash with a metal shard bomb to destroy one of Devoe's satellites, rather than stick around and shoot them down herself.

Amunet also seems to have an eccentric side to her nastiness. She speaks with courtesy and values manners despite the often barbaric and horrendous situations she is personally overseeing or causing. Primarily, Amunet will directly tell others what she wishes of them. And only uses threats if they refuse or ask too many unnecessary questions.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* Meta-human **physiology:** After Amunet was struck by dark matter, this altered her DNA and supercharged her cells, augmenting her physiology.
	+ **Magnetokinesis:** Amunet has a potent usage of magnetism, using alnico alloy, which is ten times as strong as steel to create shrapnel "bullets" and a protective battle glove around her hand, form a metal vortex to fly away, and even expand into the form of a giant arm-shield. She can also call the pieces of metal to her arm from a distance.
		- **Explosion inducement:** By imbuing the AlNiCo alloy she uses with the energy of her powers, Amunet can cause her shards to become powerful explosives that are strong enough to destroy one of DeVoe's Enlightenment satellites.
