HistoryEdit

Bette Noir is one of the "Sleeping Monsters" or D.N.Aliens with telepathic abilities and the astral form of a beautiful woman. She is one of the many genetic abominations kept at Project Cadmus. Bette Noir tries to leave her grotesque physical form in search of psychic energies which would allow her the freedom she desired. The Martian Manhunter stopped her but now Bette is being used for service of justice by psychically punishing those without redemption.
