The beautiful daughter of the late Senator Henry Knight, Stormy Knight could have settled for the comfortable life of a debutante, but instead decided to pursue the more exciting life of a superhero. With her blacklight bands granting her intangibility (among other powers), she took on the mantle of Phantom Lady, which had been left vacant by the death of Dee Tyler and enlisted with S.H.A.D.E., run by Father Time (with whom she was apparently previously acquainted.) She began her career guarding Bludhaven, which had just been hit by Chemo, causing a number of its inhabitants to mutate. Though not particularly impressed with some of her teammates, like the simpleminded Bigfoot or the misogynistic Major Force, Stormy served well enough that she was moved to S.H.A.D.E.'s semi-black ops unit. Though she projected the image of a spoiled, vacuous princess, Stormy was secretly watching S.H.A.D.E.'s actions on her father's behalf. Unfortunately, Father Time found out and had Senator Knight covertly killed and replaced by Gonzo the Mechanical Bastard.

Sent to capture Uncle Sam, Stormy and her teammates ended up joining him, and helped him to rescue Firebrand. They later recruited John Trujillo, the latest incarnation of the Black Condor, after which point Uncle Sam revealed to Stormy that her father was dead and being impersonated by Gonzo. When she later found out that this was true, Stormy was devastated and combined with manipulation by a fake Miss America, this led to her having trouble accessing her powers, though she overcame this with help from the Black Condor, and later joined the reorganized Freedom Fighters.

Recently, Stormy has suffered from a serious drinking problem, and has been sequestered in the Heartland for rehabilitation. where Uncle Sam tells her she won't leave until her habit has been kicked. Stormy later slits her wrists, but is found in time by Doll Man. Miss America removes all the toxins from her systems, allowing her to recuperate better.


Abilities

Combatant: Stormy is an above-average fighter.

Perceptive: She's also good at reading people, knowing how to carry herself to put them off their guard.

Weaknesses

Spoiled: Though not quite the spoiled princess she often pretends to be, Stormy's resolve has been questionable at times.

Alcoholic: She also has occasional problems with drinking.

Equipment

  • Blacklight Bands: Using her wristbands, Stormy is able to:
  • Light Projection/Invisibility: "black light ray" projected from her bands on her wrist. If projected outwards, it blocked the normal spectrum of light from reaching the people trapped in the beam until the beam was switched off. If directed at the wearer, she herself became invisible to the surrounding viewers.
  • Reality Bending
  • Interdimensional Teleportation: travel between the 3rd dimension and 4th dimension
  • Intangibility: which also grants her some intangibility.
