Where
to start? Sister Psyche is an incredibly powerful telepath ,
perhaps the strongest we’ve ever seen. Much like
her
super-powered brethren, however, she has become slightly
arrogant. Instead of doing what is right, she takes matters
into
her own hand. (Why shouldn’t she when she has
Statesman’s blessing?) The most tragic example of
this is
Malaise. Instead of taking him down and sending him to the
Zig or
an asylum, she turned the crazed man into her pet by suppressing one of
his personalities. Perhaps Sister Psyche believed she knows
better than the American Psychological Association in how to handle
someone suffering from multiple personalities, and that conceitedness
proved to be her blunder. Eventually her will over him
broken,
and a super villain we could have behind bars is now back
free.
Way to go, Sister Psyche!Part of the failure came from her simultaneous attempt to possess another young woman. That’s right, when Sister Psyche saw her life fleeting during the Rikti War, instead of bowing out like a noble hero, she sought out the burgeoning, young hero Aurora Scott and  invaded
her mind. The woman, also known as Aurora Borealis, claims
she
gave permission, but if Sister Psyche can turn a madman into her docile
lapdog, who’s to say what she could do to this young
woman?
Aurora’s husband, Calvin, was none to happy with his
wife’s
new symbiont, regardless. He is partially responsible for
having
the link between them broken so he could free his wife from Sister
Psyche’s oppression. It is also possible Sister
Psyche has
done this in the past and her current body is not her own.
Sister
Psyche was around when Nemesis attacked Washington DC in
1946. If
she were born that year, she’d currently be 59, yet she
doesn’t appear to be any older than her 30s. Whose
body did
she steal prior to Aurora’s, and how long as this truly been
going on?Currently, there isn’t much I could pinpoint to complain about this scantily clad “hero,” but I imagine that’s a matter of time. She’s shown twice prior that she has no respect for other human life nor the law. Where she could’ve gotten the villain know as Malaise psychiatric help, she dominated him. Even worse, she dominated a poor, innocent woman. Clearly, this is no role model. Simply put, she’s reckless and arrogant.  |
