BACKGROUND: 

Hazardman recognized the voice and bearing of this supervillain to be that of a B-actress (and stuntwoman) known as 'Daphne Dauber', the star of such unforgettable films as Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town", etc.

Appears mildly demonic (horns, dark appearance) within the astral plane.

MOTIVATION: 

Mercenary.

TACTICS: 

Shadow Queen's typical initial assault is somewhat predictable, yet undeniably effective; she entraps and blinds an opponent with ebon tentacles, leaving him vulnerable to any follow-up she desires. Defensively, the Shadow Queen possesses the powerful capacity to become intangible and literally walk through walls.

Teleportation (can teleport groups with add'l time and effort). Intangibility (dropped while teleporting).

KotC ENCOUNTERS: 

- took part in the battle at the Mesa Flats Nuclear Reactor, from which she escaped in the turmoil accompanying the near melt-down. It isn't known whether she was privy to the act of attempted nuclear sabotage.

- tried to save her group from the Justice Machine by calling upon the Knights of the Coast to save them. Despite the confrontation that ensued, she was captured in the midst of teleporting away by Citizen Mercury. .

- discovered in the Well of Souls wherein the renegade Justice Machine siphoned her lifeforce in an attempt to bring about the Kali Yaga. Rescued by the combined forces of the Knights of the Coast and The Guardians, she was delivered with certain compatriots to the confines of Hard Rock Superprison.

- while being escorted back to prison, she was stranded with the rest of the group within the Valley of the Blessed, and helped to save some of them from the wrath of the Amazons. As thanks for this, the group permitted her "escape" upon their return to civilization.

- after the rescue of Hazardman, she showed up to help the group fight the minions of the Crimson Claw before vanishing again.

- attended the San Francisco meeting of the The Gentleman's Adventurers Society hosted by Victor Stewart where DeSalvo put the moves on her (to her amusement).

- Battosai: "Good heart, wrong path. Could be fixed, though."
- Hazardman: "She's not my girlfriend!!!"
- Sub-Zero: "The bitch just put an octopus on my face! Hey! This is almost kinky!"
