Flight and Superhuman Combat

Superwoman can fly and directly engage other superpowered combatants. She joined the Crime Syndicate's assault after Ultraman was struck down by Emperor Zhent. 141

• Flew to attack Emperor Zhent after his defeat of Ultraman. 141
• Was incapacitated when Zhent punched through her chest and abdomen. 141

Magical Compulsion

Superwoman's Lasso of Submission can compel a captive to speak. During an earlier ambush, the Crime Syndicate used it to make Mazahs utter the transformation spell that returned him to human form, allowing them to capture him. After Superwoman's death, the lasso was identified as a possible means of defeating Mazahs, but she was no longer available to wield it. 150

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Lasso of Submission — Superwoman's magically imbued lasso. Shane recovered it from the Crime Syndicate's world and gave it to Wonder Woman after the battle. 152
  • Superwoman raised the lasso while pressuring Johnny Quick to abandon his concern for Atomica and attack Superman. 141
  • The Crime Syndicate previously used it to force Mazahs to speak the spell that reverted him to human form. 150
  • Wonder Woman later entrusted it to Artemis, instructing her to restrain any powerful enemy who might appear while Diana went to receive the “Demigod of Glory.” Artemis subsequently carried the thorny, golden-glowing lasso during the Amazo Virus crisis. 230
  • At Wayne Tower, Artemis cleared away dust and readied the lasso after a three-meter-tall figure with cold gray metallic skin jumped from the building. Tim warned that the figure might be Patient Zero. 230

Relationships

• Owlman — Crime Syndicate leader during the invasion of Earth. 141
• Johnny Quick — Subordinate or fellow Syndicate member whom Superwoman pressured into targeting Superman. 141
• Ultraman — Fellow Crime Syndicate member; his arrival renewed the Syndicate's hopes before Emperor Zhent defeated him. 141 142 Her death contributed to his rage. On examining her corpse, he cried out for “my child,” indicating that he believed she had been carrying his child. 149
• Emperor Zhent — Enemy who severely injured Superwoman with a single punch. 141 Her resulting death also disrupted the anticipated plan for Darkseid's reincarnation through her womb. 250 271
• Wonder Woman — Her Justice League counterpart; Wonder Woman later received Superwoman's Lasso of Submission. 141 152
• Atomica — Fellow Crime Syndicate operative and Johnny Quick's lover. Superwoman dismissed Johnny Quick's concern for her, arguing that he could find another partner on Earth. 141 150
• Mazahs — Enemy whom the Syndicate previously captured using her lasso to force his reversion to human form. 150
• Shane — Recovered her lasso after the conflict and transferred it to Wonder Woman. 152
• Artemis — Later bearer of Superwoman's Lasso of Submission, entrusted with it by Wonder Woman to restrain powerful enemies during the Amazo Virus crisis. No direct interaction with Superwoman is recorded. 230
• Darkseid / Apokolips — Connected to a covert reincarnation plan involving her womb. Vundabar recognized Apokolips's handiwork in Superwoman and inferred Darkseid's intended reincarnation, but Monarch's attack disrupted the plan. 250 271

Story Role / Major Arcs

Crime Syndicate Invasion

Before the invasion, Atomica mentioned Superwoman among the confirmed reverse counterparts around whom she claimed an anomalous individual's presence had appeared. Her report also associated that presence with the Justice League and the Batcave. 84

Superwoman materialized on Earth alongside Deathstorm, Sea King, and the other Crime Syndicate members after the Outsider's plan collapsed. During the confrontation, she dismissed Johnny Quick's attachment to a woman and compelled him to turn his attention toward the weakened Superman. 141

After Emperor Zhent arrived and casually defeated Ultraman, Superwoman attacked him. Zhent punched through her torso, discarded her body, and left her badly wounded while continuing his pursuit of Reverse Flash. 141

Monarch's Past

In the account of Monarch's past, Superwoman appeared among the dead Crime Syndicate members following a devastating battle. Her limbs had been torn off, while Ultraman, Sea King, and Owlman had also suffered fatal mutilations. This scene belonged to Monarch's past rather than the immediate aftermath of the invasion depicted in Chapter 141. 143

Crime Syndicate Aftermath

Superwoman's corpse was teleported back to the Crime Syndicate's world. The surviving members avoided provoking Ultraman as he vented his fury; when he examined her body, his anger intensified and he cried out for his child. Her death was subsequently reaffirmed during Mazahs's pursuit of Johnny Quick. 149 150

Following the Crime Syndicate conflict, Shane returned with Superwoman's Lasso of Submission among the recovered weapons and artifacts. Judging the lasso more useful to its corresponding counterpart, he gave it to Wonder Woman. 152

The lasso continued to play a role after Superwoman's death. During the Amazo Virus crisis, Wonder Woman entrusted it to Artemis before leaving to receive the “Demigod of Glory.” Artemis carried it while leading Themysciran warriors toward Wayne Tower alongside Tim, Mal, and Cassandra. When an explosion shattered the tower's upper floors and a large metallic figure jumped down, Artemis readied the lasso as Tim warned that the newcomer might be Patient Zero. 230

Disrupted Darkseid Reincarnation

Shane later recalled that, in the storyline he remembered, Darkseid reincarnated through Superwoman's womb on Anti-Earth and triggered the Darkseid War. Superwoman had been expected to survive until that conflict, but Emperor Zhent's attack killed her earlier, removing one of its basic conditions. Shane considered this disruption relevant to Darkseid's hostility toward Monarch and himself. 250

Vundabar's observations independently connected Superwoman to Apokolips's covert preparations. Having infiltrated the Anti-Universe through the Dark Side Club, he recognized Apokolips's handiwork in her and deduced Darkseid's reincarnation plan, which Monarch's attack then thwarted. 271
