History

Origin

Theresa Zimmer believed that Brother Blood was in love with her. She was experimented on, which gave her illusion casting powers, but distorted her face-and her mind. She took the name Twister, and traveled to Zandia for the Church, where she battled Cyborg, but managed to escape.

Suicide Squad

She later quit the Church of Blood, and joined the Suicide Squad, where she befriended fellow Squad member Plastique.

When the Squad was divided into two battling factions by rebel Squad member General, Twister battled White Dragon. She had disabled him with her powers when she was hit by a duploid from the nearby battling Multiplex and General, which broke her concentration. Taking this chance, White Dragon incinerated her. Enraged by her friend's murder, Plastique attacked and killed White Dragon.
