History
Mercy was hired along with another woman named Hope to be Lex Luthor's Lexcorp employed bodyguard when he was President of the United States.
Mercy and Hope were apparently of Amazon Heritage, given they could go toe-to-toe with Superman and were familiar with the ancient sorceress Circe, even in disguise.
After Lex lost his Presidency Mercy stayed as a bodyguard while he was a fugitive from justice.

Mercy was present when Luthor presented his "Be Your Own Hero" program, in which she is brought into confrontation with Steel, when she proceeds to shoot him and he deflects the bullets back at her, injuring her right hand.
