Hi-Tech is a mercenary hired by Thaddeus Killgrave to kill Superman.

History

After his final humiliation, Killgrave hired Hi-Tech to fight Superman, using a series of thermonuclear and conventional explosives. Hi-Tech left Superman on his knees, humiliating him. Killgrave then triggered a bomb in the last place where Hi-Tech and Superman were fighting, Hi-Tech refused to kill him because she too would die. Superman managed to disarm the bomb and apprehend Killgrave, but Hi-Tech fled.

She returned several years later with a completely different look, hired to kill Doctor Kimmel. She was quickly stopped by a more powerful Superman, whom she was no match for.
