Biography

Wildstorm

Priscilla Kitaen

DC

Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. Priscilla Kitaen was abducted by Daemonites one evening as she was jogging. The aliens experimented on her because they believed humans could hold the key to their own survival. She awoke from her induced slumber, and somehow managed to escape her containment tank. Overhearing the aliens' motives, she knew she had to escape. On her way out, she discovered more prisoners, but could not free them. Having to escape alarmed guards, she discovered her new powers, and was appalled by them. However, they proved vital in her escape. After she escaped the alien ship, she had to fend off several elite guards, but was aided by Black Razors. (Voodoo v2 #0)

As a Human-Daemonite hybrid, she worked as a Daemonite spy, using her shapeshifting abilities and limited telepathy to blend in with humans and learn intelligence about metahumans and other possible threats to the Daemonites. (Voodoo v2 #1)

Further complicating her identity issues, Voodoo learns that she is a clone of the real Priscilla Kitaen, who has been held captive by Voodoo's pursuers, the Black Razors, for several months. (Voodoo v2 #5)

Upon learning this, Voodoo takes aggressive action against the Daemonite High Council, but is persuaded to stop her attack when she is offered a higher ranking position that would put her in charge of all earthbound Daemonite clone forces. (Voodoo v2 #7)

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Voodoo was a mixed-race woman of African and alien (Kherubim/Daemonite) descent. She possessed a lithe, curvaceous, and athletic physique, maintained through her initial profession as an exotic dancer. Her facial features were often framed by long, dark hair, and she carried an air of 'exotic' beauty that she used to her advantage in her civilian life. Her costume in her first appearance was highly unconventional for a superhero, reflecting her background as a dancer; she was introduced wearing revealing stage attire that emphasized her physicality. As she transitioned into the WildC.A.T.s, she adopted more tactical but still form-fitting gear, often incorporating thigh-high boots and minimalist armor pieces that allowed for maximum mobility during combat. (WildC.A.T.s v1 #1)

Voodoo possessed a resilient and compassionate personality, serving as a grounded, humanizing force within the often-cold WildC.A.T.s team. Initially appearing naive and vulnerable due to her lack of combat experience, she quickly developed a tough-minded tenacity as she navigated the truth of her alien heritage. She was notably straight-talking and realistic, often calling out her teammates when they became too detached from the reality of the people they were protecting. Despite being treated as an outsider or a 'liability' by mentors like Zealot, she maintained a strong sense of autonomy and never apologized for her past, displaying a quiet confidence and a deeply empathetic nature that allowed her to connect with others on a psychological level. (WildC.A.T.s v1 #1)

Powers and abilities

Her primary power was the Sight, a unique ability that allowed her to perceive the true forms of others, specifically identifying Daemonites even when they were possessing human hosts. In her first appearance, this ability allowed her to mentally separate a Daemonite from its host body, though the process was often physically and mentally draining for her. Beyond this, she possessed telepathic capabilities, enabling her to read thoughts and manipulate emotions, with her potency often increasing through physical proximity or intimacy. While she initially lacked formal combat training, she later displayed dormant animalistic traits such as the ability to sprout sharp claws from her fingertips, a physical manifestation of her hidden alien ancestry. (WildC.A.T.s v1 #1)
