> “People called her the Emerald Shadow because of her signature color and she charged high prices for her efficiency in killing without leaving a trace, but I know it's not the reason she likes it. No, that woman isn't in this business for the money, but because she enjoys the thrill that killing high-stake targets give and knows damn well she does it better than anyone else. In my personal opinion, Vi is Death's Daughter and it is ever present.” — Doctor Hakido to Daily Planet Newsreporter.

Vi or to some the Emerald Shadow is a Kryptonian assassin and once loyal member of the planet Krypton's army who now resides on earth.

## HISTORY

Kandor is spared from the doomed world of Krypton, Before Krypton exploded, the futuristic city was captured by the supervillain Brainiac, miniaturized by his shrinking ray and placed inside a glass bell jar. Of course eventually Superman freed this city and found them a new home which became new krypton. Vi originated from this new world, years later after the war with Darkseid and most of the universe, she was an accomplished young military officer of her planet, her ambition having her seek out greater fame amongst her people. It's how she got her last assignment, to command the krypton excavation and research cruiser off world on uninhabited planets to study and bring back resources to new krypton. Her methods however weren't entirely just, even to the point of developing many enemies even amongst her own people.

She and her crew eventually found themselves in Earth's solar system but It was one of those enemies that caused the nuclear reactor on the cruiser to explode, it was an indirect effort that backfired and supposedly killed everyone on it. Vi somehow survived, being in a chamber where they were analyzing kryptonite radiation in contact with other substances. She found herself floating in space, graced by the sun, but the radiation inflicting her body. A fusion occurs where she becomes a bio hazard of energy that eventually landed on earth. Initially the Earth's government, specifically Japan where she landed, thought she was a meteorite.

Upon further inspection she was brought to a special lab, run by the organization S.T.A.R labs, where she'd be kept in a secret confinement facility for almost forty years. They were unable to do the research on her like they would have liked due to her Kryptonian physiology and thinking she was a prisoner she never was naive enough to let on to the fact she was even from krypton. Not only that the kryptonite radiation was so potent around her no one could get close without it being lethal to them. After all that time had passed Vi eventually learned control of the radiation, mastering it as a new power, and used it along with her other solar powered abilities to escape.

After escaping the facility she was on a foreign planet that she only knew through history books on Kandor and their relationship with the man of steel. Of course due to similarities in appearance with Kryptonians and humans it was easy to blend in, just had to find a way to survive. Of course she was no Clark Kent, not raised on the planet to be some all American hero, no she was a ruthless military leader who was now only looking out for herself. Instead of getting a job at some newspaper hub, Vi used her strengths where they mattered to her as a mercenary/bounty hunter of metas and other powered individuals.

## PERSONALITY

Vi is and always will be a warrior from krypton, it's something she takes pride in but also is why there is a clear distinction between her and those who were on earth before her(Kal-el, Kara Zor-el). While she is not inherently evil nor does she find pleasure in killing, she is a no nonsense woman who doesn't mind the aspect of it if it's what's necessary to achieve her goals. She lacks the empathy really needed to show a great deal of compassion or emotion for that matter, at least when being genuine. That said she can hide them well behind sarcasm, sometimes even flirty in nature, but her main objective is to confuse the individual being spoken to.  Her strong personality and ideals has often gotten her compared to the amazons like wonder woman, called an alien Amazon even. When it comes to humans she sees them as an inferior race to the kryptonians, not to the point of trying to enslave them like Zod but also isn't against it or having the planet be another world under the command of krypton.

## APPEARANCE

Vi is a fair-skinned woman with short, black hair and distinctly green eyes which are accentuated by her eyelashes running upwards at the corners. She was very skinny throughout her childhood to the point of being known as flat-chested. By young-adulthood however, Vi grew into a slender woman of curvaceous frame with above-average height and noticeably large breasts. She now wears what used to be a traditional battle armor for the Kryptonian armor redesigned into a black skin time suit with various logos added and her own kryptonite radiation running through it to give it a glowing green hue. She adopted this style of dress from being in Tokyo and is in fact widely regarded as the most beautiful woman in japan. Often even shocking people when they hear that she is well into her seventies but doesn’t look a day older than her early twenties.

## POWERS AND ABILITIES

***Kryptonians Physiology:*** Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Vi possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:

* *Solar Energy Absorption* - Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Vi's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make-up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.

* *Heat Vision* - Vi can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected. Because of the effects of the kryptonite radiation, the coloring is green and adds to the overall damage the normal heat would cause.

* *Super-Hearing* - Vi's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency.

* *Enhanced Vision* -  Vi's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.This umbrella ability includes the following;

1. Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision - Vi can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living things.Telescopic Vision - This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
2. X-Ray Vision - This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. Vi can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden images or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived—such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans—is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
3. Microscopic Vision - This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
4. Infrared Vision: Vi  can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.

*Flight* - Vi is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction. This could be used to achieve interstellar travel as well, unaffected by the nature of space and it's lack of gravity.

*Invulnerability* - Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Vi is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, she extends this protection against toxins and diseases.

*Superhuman Stamina* -  Vi is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This is based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.

*Superhuman Strength -* Vi's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.

*Superhuman Speed -* Vi is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time. This also confers;

1. Superhuman Agility
2. Superhuman Reflexes

*Super-Breath* - Vi is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.

*Longevity -* Vi can live longer than regular humans, remaining at her prime as long as she was under the exposure of the "yellow" sun.

***Radiation Manipulation and Empowerment:*** Vi initially was transformed into a living nuclear hazard. She gave off dangerous amounts of radiation even passively that made it lethal to be near her, let alone touch without some form of protection. She initially had no control over this but later learned to harness and wield it with her will over the energies. Now capable of projecting it into beams, adding a more lethal explosive effect to her blows, adding more lethal acidic versions of her abilities, or turning into toxic acidic mist.

***Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced):*** Vi has trained in the ways of combat for many years even before landing on earth. She has fought creatures and aliens twice her size and armored men with only her hands. She is a trained soldier and is not above killing. This of course only got better once she made it to earth learning several martial arts such as Muay Thai, Wing Chun, and Boxing.

***Weaponry:*** Vi is as trained with her fists as she is with weapons. She used small arms as a soldier and various other Kryptonian weapons throughout her military career.

***Multilingualism:*** Vi can speak fluent Kryptonian, Japanese, Russian and English. She is not as well versed in them but does know some Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, and French.

***Espionage:*** Becoming basically a superpowered killer she trained in various arts to help her in her task such as Acrobatics, Deception, Disguise, Driving both land and air vehicles, Tactical Analysis, Military Protocol, Stealth, Interrogation and Escapology.

## TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES

***Battle Armor:*** Vi, as a Warrior Guild member, was hardly ever seen not wearing a suit of extremely durable and fiercely intimidating Kryptonian battle armor, equipped with a breather. It was redesigned after the damage it received from the nuclear reactor exploding and being on earth.

***Kryptonian Nanite Orb:*** The orb is a circle of nanite technology created from the resources of her former kryptonian cruiser which is able to take on the form of any weapon or firearm she desires while also being powered by her kryptonite energy.

## WEAKNESSES

***Magic:*** Vi's biomatrix is her most powerful asset, but the strength of this field is also its greatest weakness. Its permeability to certain wavelengths makes him vulnerable to certain radiations(red sun), particularly magical energies whose chaotic electromagnetic or extra dimensional signatures disrupt this force field. Vi's vulnerability to magic varies depending upon the special effects of the magic. He can be injured and worn down by magical entities.

***Solar Energy Dependency:*** Vi's Kryptonian abilities will eventually weaken without replenishing her energy reserves with normal (yellow) sun radiation, especially if she doesn't have any direct contact with yellow sunlight. When exposed to the same red solar radiation as Krypton's red sun Rao, it causes Vi to lose her powers within a large amount of exposure until the exposure to yellow sunlight will reverse this effect. This has no effect on the kryptonite radiation powers she has.

***Lead:*** Vi can't see through it with x ray vision

***High-Pitched Noises:*** Because of her super hearing, Vi's ears are extra-sensitive to extreme noises.

***Beings of Equal Power:*** Vi, when fighting beings of comparable incalculable might, such as other Kryptonians, is more vulnerable, as they can generate enough force to knock out, injure and even kill Vi.
