Lady Satan

"Perhaps I am the only person in the world today who is a master of the art of Black Magic. That is why I am called Lady Satan."

Real Name: Unknown
First Appearance: Dynamic Comics #2 (1941)
Original Publisher: Harry 'A' Chesler
Created by: George Tuska

Origin:

Lady Satan and her fiancé were victims of a German bombing while on a ship. It sunk, and her fiancé died. Thus, Lady Satan took an oath to be a foe of the Nazis. Donning a mask and waltzing about in an evening dress, Lady Satan traveled unnoticed through the streets of Nazi occupied France as she fought the German invaders.

In her third appearance, she was a sorceress who fought against the occult instead of Nazis. No explanation for the change in methods or powers was given.

Powers and Abilities:

As a spy, Lady Satan used her charm and good looks to gain information as well as stealth and weapons (conventional and a few gimicks) when it is necessary.

As a sorceress, she used powerful magic that allowed her to do just about anything. She also wore a ring in the shape of a serpent which could release gasses derived from “dragon scales” that allowed her to “unveil the shadow world." This sorceress version fought supernatural foes.
