Bette San Souci was a terrorist armorer, master of making explosive ordnance for others. Eventually, she went by the name Plastique in public, and became a walking bomb with a costume that had different incendiary charges on it. She later gained the power to project concussive blasts and turn objects into bombs.
History
As her abilities developed, her world view weakened. After serving the Suicide Squad, she became a thief and metahuman mercenary. She was part of a coalition that targeted Firestorm before joining the Secret Society of Super-Villains.
