History
Sisterhood of Dada
Lloyd Jefferson became a metahuman with bicycles on his back, acquiring aerokinesis, causing the agency against "weird", the Bureau of Normalcy to capture him, where the agent, Laura De Mille took pity on him, considering no weapon, sending him to a common job at the Ant Farm. In his time as an employee, Lloyd befriended Shelley Byron, a metahuman with fog powers, Malcolm DuPont, a man who can make himself invisible, Holly McKenzie, a girl who struggles while sleepwalking, and Sachiko, a girl with a fear of the infection, joining them as artists along with Laura, becoming the Sisterhood of Dada.
The Sisterhood of Dada United
In the year 1917, Lloyd and the Sisterhood met a time traveler who couldn't remember her name, whom they named "Bendy", on Holly's advice, inviting her to join their troupe, having a fun time. When Bendy wondered if they could change the world with art to be accepted, Lloyd denied it because the agents didn't respect them until Bendy encouraged himself to have lunch with the agents, followed by the Sisterhood to gain respect, accepting himself for his powers. Lloyd and the Sisterhood united against the agents, uttering their motto "Piffle Paffle".[1]
Turned into weapons
In 1949, after World War II, Lloyd and the Sisterhood became depressed by dead soldiers and Laura no longer went to see them, though Bendy and Malcolm tried to cheer the group up. One night, the Sisterhood talked about changing the world and Lloyd expressed that the world would not change, remembering that people of his color died because of the war, which inspired the Sisterhood to create a world event, the Eternal Flagellation, in the one that people overcome their past to improve themselves. While planning how they would cause the Flagellation, Lloyd and the Sisterhood were betrayed by Laura, who brought several bureau agents into the hideout, turning all of them into weapons, causing Malcolm's death and being used as soldiers from the bureau, except for Bendy, who managed to escape.[2]
Eternal Flagellation
"Why are you, Cyborg?
Years later in 2019, Lloyd and the Sisterhood managed to escape after an escape at the Ant Farm, meeting with Bendy in Shelley's mind to create the Eternal Flagellation. Two years later, Lloyd received a visit from the superhero Victor Stone, aka Cyborg, asking her the question: Why was it? Lloyd denied Vic's response, believing that someone else responded with their voice, offering to sit down and talk about his life and suffering while using a mannequin head to form Vic's robotic face. Lloyd criticized Vic for not having known himself, filling him with anger until he heard that Vic and his group were allies of Laura De Mille, so he began to use his wheels against him, humiliating him for suffering from having black skin, continuing to ask him because it was. Before Shelley banished the group from her mind, Lloyd left Vic his mannequin head.[3][4]
The Eternal Flagellation begins
Days later, Lloyd and the Sisterhood sent invitations all over the world in preparation for the Eternal Flagellation, traveling to the Doom Manor with Bendy to meet Laura again, asking her to open the cage with Malcolm, turned into a bird, and find her redemption with the Sisterhood. When Bendy angrily opened Malcolm's cage, the Brotherhood saw several birds fly in for the Flagellation and Lloyd replied to the robot man, Cliff Steele, that the Flagellation looked bad for bad people, before disappearing into the mist with the rest of the Sisterhood as the Flagellation ran its course.[2]
