History

Rhea Jones, alias Lodestone was a member of the Doom Patrol with control over the electromagnetic spectrum. Sheer range of her powers made her an extremely formidable opponent, although this was tempered by her inexperience in the field. She would later undergo a metamorphosis, and turn into an entirely new form known as the Pupa.

As a young child, Rhea was left orphaned in a tragic accident. Her mother perished in a car crash, while her father was on a classified operation for the United States Air Force. Sneaking onto the decommissioned base where he was engaged in a nuclear extraction, she was only barely in time to watch her father blown to bits by an electromagnetic blast, which she was caught in as well. Although it didn't kill her, she gained strange new powers from it and this unlocked her meta-gene. Rhea found herself in control of the electromagnetic spectrum through a strange connection, which she could also use to cultivate super-strength, invulnerability, and super-agility as well as a number of other magnetic constructs. Unfortunately, with no other home, she was subject to a number of tests and experiments performed upon her by military doctors. Eventually, she took the only escape she could find and used her powers to travel with a circus, becoming an informally trained acrobat.^[1] Eventually, Arani Desai heard of her abilities and invited her to join the second incarnation of the Doom Patrol to become a full-fledged superhero and hone her abilities.^[2]
