Nuclear Girl

**Mariel Warfield** is a Kryptonian-Human hybrid from a parallel universe. She is the child of David Warfield's daughter Lacy and Lex Luthor's failed experiment, known as Nuclear Man. She has since inherited her father's abilities, becoming a new generation of supervillain, under the name **Nuclear Girl** or **Nuclear Woman**.

## **Origins**

Following Superman's mission to rid Earth of all nuclear weapons, Lex Luthor had created a new and devastating weapon, Nuclear Man. This being, composed of Superman's own DNA, nearly killed the man of steel and found himself infatuated with Lacy Warfield, daughter of known tycoon David Warfield. He took Lacy from the Daily Planet, despite her father's best efforts to shield her from the monster and brought her to the penthouse Lex Luthor was living in at the time. Nuclear Man had made it quite clear to Lacy that he desired her to be at his side and so long as she did, he would not harm innocent people. With little choice, Lacy reluctantly agreed and submitted to this rule. As a result, she remained with him for that brief period and in that time, Nuclear Man had managed to consummate his forced relationship with Lacy. Later on, he attempted to flee Earth with Lacy, but because Superman placed the moon in front of the sun, he began to shut down in a sense, leaving Lacy to be rescued by Superman and Nuclear Man to be sent into a nearby reactor. Though the threat of Nuclear Man was over, it was not known, except to Lacy that a part of him was left behind and was growing within her womb.

Some time later, Lacy found out that she was indeed pregnant and what was growing in her was in fact not a normal embryo. As a result, she had begun to fear for her life, going to her father for aid. An attempt was made to rid herself of the baby, only to find that it was futile because of the child's Kryptonian aspects. When it came time for the child's birth, Lacy died during the birth of her daughter, whom her father took in, naming her Mariel.
