Fictional character biography
A mutant born on Apokolips, she was once one of Granny Goodness' students, but not a Female Fury. The beautiful blue-skinned, yellow-eyed and crimson-haired Jezebelle was always depicted as being reluctant to kill, so when she was captured during a battle with New Genesis, she gladly defected.
New Gods vol. 3 #1 featured her death caused by one of Necromina's "morrow blocks", but she was later seen alongside other supposedly dead New Gods Forager and Highfather in the Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle limited series of 2006.
Powers and abilities
Aside from possessing superior physical attributes and fighting skills, Jezebelle can fire heat rays from her eyes, fly, and survive unprotected in the cold airless void of space.
