HistoryEdit

Origin

Mysa Nal aka White Witch is a native of the planet Naltor. She was born without the nautal ability to predict the future. Mysa to compensate for her disability trained in the mystic arts on the planet Zerox, also known as the Sorcerer's World. Mysa studied under the tutelage of five instructors each having their own specialty; Air, Earth, Fire, Light and Water. Mysa showed a remarkable aptitude for magic and easily excelled in her studies much to the annoyance of the mighty Mordru.

Mysa Nal used to have red hair, but as she trained in magic, her hair and skin became chalk white and her eyes bright red. This change happened gradually after Dream Girl freed her from the "Hag" guise.

Five Years Later

After the magic wars Mysa leaves the Legion of Super-Heroes, she married Mordru and lived with him on the planet Tharn; the new Sorcerers' World. Mysa was subjected to mystical imprisonment and manipulation by Mordru during this period until the Legionnaires returned to look for her with their allies Rond Vidar.

After her resuce and defeat of Mordru she rejoined the team. Mysa was later de-aged by Glorith to a teenager and appeared happy with the change. She assumed the codename Jewel and went underground with her fellow Legionnaires.
