Powers/Abilities: Lady Killer has developed the "ultra" power of perfect aim; she can direct an object at any chosen target in a direct line--this can be a thrown projectile or, with intense concentration, the direction of a car or landing gear of an aircraft, or even herself (effectively granting her parkour skills and excellent balance). This has also given her excellent tracking abilities. Lady Killer is a skilled fashion designer with an expert understanding of different fabrics and their qualities, and has incorporated projectiles into her clothing, including a scarf with weighted tips and a strong lasso with discs, and can use all parts of her costume as a weapon. She is brave, gym-fit, has excellent self-defense fighting abilities and displays strong leadership skills and business acumen. She also has a small commercial jet pilot's license and is bilingual: fluent in English and Spanish.

History:

(The Strangers#1 (fb) - BTS) - Elena La Brava led a high-end fashion firm as owner and lead designer.

(The Strangers#23 (fb) - BTS) - La Brava jetted to Europe several times a year on fashion business.

(The Strangers#1) - One Thursday morning, La Brava (aged 31) was on her way to work by tram when it was it was struck by the lightning-like "Jumpstart" effect, which would later trigger superpowers in its 59 passengers (becoming "ultras"). The tram brakes failed and hit a car driven by Johnny Domino (later Night Man). They waited for ambulances and to report to police. La Brava continued onward to work and canceled an important meeting with Princess Violetta, instead inspired to create clothing designs like those worn by super-powered people.

   Later at dusk that same day, confused sky sorceress Yrial scared onlookers. She fought several former passengers mutated with powers from earlier that day (speedster Leon Balford, energy-spectrum manipulator Castiglione, electricity-firing android Candy, transmuter Bob Hardin and shrapnel-shooting Hugh Fox) who chanced upon each again; eventually Yrial fled. The police arrived but Balford whisked his fellow ultras away. The six ultras compared notes and considered that others on the cable car had been similarly affected, yet only they had been responsible enough to confront the sorceress. They decided to stay a team and pursue the sorceress, focusing on the unusual cloud over San Francisco. La Brava took them to the airport to her private plane.

(The Strangers#2) - La Brava flew the small jet while the others bantered; they discovered the jungle land of Sky Island in the protective cloud and landed. But they were all soon captured and bound, their powers manifested so far all negated, although Hardin transformed sound waves, effectively translating their language so that they could understand their captors, and heard Yrial and chiefs Aula and Zara debate whether to remain a hidden people given the sudden rise in super-powered humans. Castiglione's red flame helped them break free. Eventually an understanding was reached with Aula, despite Zara's protests, and Yrial was assigned to study and help the ultras. The group decided to remain a team, calling themselves the Strangers, and seek answers to their changes and fellow former passengers. La Brava appointed herself leader given her experience and the rest quickly assented.

(The Strangers#3 (fb)) - Back on ground, the Strangers hid in Hardin's parents' home where they discussed their powers over dinner. The team decided on their individual codenames (Atom Bob (Hardin), ElectroCute (Candy), Grenade (Fox), Lady Killer (La Brava), Spectral (Castiglione), Zip-Zap (Balford)). La Brava, also a successful fashion designer, created costumes for them. Yrial kept her name and original clothes.

(The Strangers#3) - Wanting to protect his secrets, vengeful J.D. Hunt sent the villainous ultra team T.N.T.N.T. (Naiad, Neuronne, Torso, Tugun, Tyrannosaurus) after the Strangers. Initially almost overwhelmed, the team fought back. Victorious, the Strangers introduced themselves to the quickly assembled media.

(Hardcase#4 (fb) - BTS) - Suspicious of a connection between J.D. Hunt and the Aladdin ultras they had just fought, the Strangers sought help from prominent ultra Hardcase.

(Hardcase#3) - The Strangers arrived at Hardcase's mansion, where the hero and his girlfriend Choice had just returned from a battle.

(Hardcase#4) - Aggressively prepared for further fighting, Hardcase and Choice calmed down when they realized the Strangers were there peaceably. They discussed Aladdin's connections with ultras and decided to join forces investigating an Aladdin secret base at Groom Lake, Nevada. Landing in Nevada and nearing the site, they split into three teams for reconnaissance, but were all incapacitated by Aladdin ultra agents (Dirt Devil, Foxfire, Grip, War Eagle); Lady Killer and Zip-Zap were knocked out by the disorienting whirl of Dirt Devil.

(The Strangers#4) - The Strangers, Hardcase and Choice were imprisoned inside a specially designed holding pen with a force field that resisted any direct attack from their powers. Senior Aladdin agent Mr. Leopold told them they would only gain freedom by joining Aladdin but they all refused. Grenade and Hardcase used their powers against each other to bring down the force field and the freed heroes fought Aladdin forces. Lady Killer realized she could rely on the others and that they were forming as an effective team when they briefly escaped until Aladdin forces caught up with them in the labyrinthine base. A truce was reached between Aladdin and the Strangers (plus Hardcase and Choice) to keep out of each other's affairs.

(Flood Relief) - Feeling helpless, Lady Killer, Grenade, Atom Bob and ElectroCute watched the devastating Iowa floods (partially caused by Flood) on TV as Zip-Zap, Prime, Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz) and Hardcase did their best to mitigate the damage.

(The Strangers#5) - After receiving emergency communication pagers from Lady Killer, the Strangers went separate ways for personal time. Lady Killer spent her time coordinating press and marketing for the Strangers. Alerted by Yrial, the Strangers assembled against the near-undefeatable death-dealing ultra Deathwish. Spectral arrived late and used his green flame to make Deathwish seemingly perish. Afterward, Spectral revealed he was gay to the group and Fox voiced the team's support.

(The Strangers#6) - The Strangers cleaned up the damaged street after the battle while Deathwish's unconscious human host was ferried to hospital where Deathwish was reborn. The villain again confronted the Strangers but, having learned from the previous fight, was no longer affected by Spectral's flame. The team were overwhelmed until Yrial intervened by releasing the power of the Light Being within nurse Henrietta Hawkins and villain was vanquished.

(Break-Thru#1) - Aladdin's Dr. Rains called in the Strangers for their views on the sudden unusual light-shifting activity of Amber Hunt, suspended in the sky, which caused deranged behavior in many people. The Strangers and Mantra flew up to investigate Amber's situation and, despite Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz)'s interference, Mantra determined it was the Entity on the Moon calling for assistance through Amber. Powerful hidden manipulator Rex Mundi sent his villainous teams Quattro (Book, Death Dance, Gate, Meat Hook) and Omega Team (Gun-Nut, Needler, Trouble) to eliminate Amber, but his counterpart the Alternate sent in the Solution team (Dropkick, Outrage, Shadowmage, Tech) to join the Strangers and other heroes to protect Amber. With the Moon glowing to match Amber, the heroes' next course was to travel to the Moon and help the Entity.

(Prototype#5) - The Strangers broke into J.D. Hunt's base where they commandeered and launched his nuclear-powered space shuttle, intending to use it to go to the Moon, but it was preprogrammed to go to a Russian satellite instead. Meanwhile, J.D. Hunt had Prototype (plus heroes Empire-7 and Supra) pursue them in an ex-Russian rocket. Automatically docking, the Strangers investigated the space station; they found it seemingly abandoned until they were attacked by savage space aliens that could quickly reconstitute themselves. Prototype's team arrived to find the Strangers constrained in the aliens' tentacles.

(The Strangers#7) - Prototype's team helped free the Strangers. The heroes fled into a dead end but bickering led to Prototype unintentionally breaching the hull. Spectral formed a protective air bubble while Atom Bob sealed the breach. The heroes split into three to destroy the hungry aliens and find escape. Lady Killer joined Zip-Zap and Yrial, and confronted a large alien. Yrial magicks were useless but Lady Killer's sharp sash slashed the alien into pieces; Zip-Zap generated a vortex that prevented the alien reforming. Prototype and the Strangers evacuated the space station in their stolen shuttle, but Supra and Empire-7 perished.

(Break-Thru#2) - Lady Killer piloted the shuttle to the Moon, where they joined Hardcase, Choice and the Solution. A battle soon raged: the heroes versus and Quattro and Omega Team, although the enhanced Prime was knocked back and secretly healed by Mantra, who found out the Entity's secret. While the heroes addressed the chaos unwittingly unleashed by the distressed Entity, Rex Mundi's two teams fled. Several heroes downloaded data from the Entity but it exploded before all could be retrieved. The heroes realized that the Entity initiated many Jumpstarts throughout Earth's history, seeking help for its crashlanded predicament on the Moon.

(The Strangers#8) - The Strangers left in the stolen Aladdin shuttle and landed it at Edwards Air Force Base, where Mr. Leopold confronted them but was dismissed by Air Force Captain Dugan. The Strangers were later confronted by Chief Aula, who demanded Yrial return to Sky Island. Yrial initially resisted with the Strangers' help, but acquiesced and left with Aula. The Strangers followed and landed by plane. Yrial considered herself a Strangers member and escaped with them but stopped as her people gave chase and briefly fought. Yrial chose to surrender, but secretly gave a clue about her people to Lady Killer. She accepted imprisonment in a mystical stone and the Strangers left. Finding the clue, they all resolved to help Yrial.

(The Strangers#9 (fb) - BTS) - The Strangers separated into pairs or went alone to get to the Caribbean to avoid raising suspicion; Lady Killer traveled with Atom Bob.

(The Strangers#9) - The Strangers (except Yrial) rejoined each other in the Caribbean to investigate Yrial's clue. Lady Killer hired a yacht, and the group anchored and relaxed while Atom Bob explored his powers on a nearby island. La Brava felt attracted to Hardin, but paused at their 12-year age difference. Local ultra pirates, Scar and his Raiders, who didn't realize their targets were ultras as well, attacked the yacht. The pirates initially overwhelmed those on the yacht and several left to tackle those Strangers on the island. But ElectroCute recovered and knocked out the pirates on the ship while Atom Bob eliminated the other pirates. The Strangers left victorious, having alerted the Coast Guard to the bound pirates.

(The Strangers#10) - The Strangers continued searching information for Yrial and chanced upon a portal to a demon dimension. Spectral and ElectroCute were dragged inside by demons and the others followed through the breach as rescue. The demon realm's ruler Bastinado blocked the Strangers' ultra powers but couldn't stop Atom Bob's, who created magick that matched the demon's and left Bastinado defeated. The Strangers rushed to escape, but instead fell off a deep cliff.

(The Strangers#11) - All falling were powerless except Zip-Zap, whose hyper-metabolism saw his powers returned earlier and he generated a vortex that slowed their descent, landing on the enormous celestial body the Wold. During their immediate analysis, Lady Killer suggested that Atom Bob had created artificial magick, but he refuted this, stating it was real. Zip-Zap scouted the patchwork domains over several days while the others slowly recovered. Meanwhile, Zip-Zap found the Entity and was told where Sky Island was located. He rushed back, gathered the Strangers in a vortex and zoomed them back through the breach to Earth.

(The Strangers#12) - The Strangers stormed Sky Island, confronting Chiefs Aula and Zara with the truth. Recognizing the world beyond had changed, Aula freed Yrial and the Strangers left reunited.

(The Strangers#13) - Back in their base, police Captain Rome sought the Strangers' help against the villainous sorcerer Boneyard, who had hijacked a flight to gain the heroes' attention to secure their help locking away the demons they had unintentionally released. Rushing to the airport tarmac, the Strangers were joined by sorceress Mantra, enemy of Boneyard, and a dramatic fight ensued, The powerful Boneyard kidnapped Atom Bob to siphon his power. Mantra detected Atom Bob's new location and they soon found Boneyard, but a new breach allowed Bastinado and other demons to come through.

(Mantra I#12) - The Strangers helped Mantra fight Boneyard and his minions; the demons were either destroyed or captured. Eventually Boneyard was distracted and Atom Bob freed. Boneyard was forced to flee.

(Ultraverse Premiere#4/2) - Lady Killer went in-costume to Imagin-Arts to assess their Strangers cartoon pilot. When Imagin-Arts sought to buy out her company (with Hunt's secret backing), she made a counter offer to buy them out and they immediately backed down. However, the helicopter taking Lady Killer home had been taken over by disgruntled former Hunt employee "Cass" Cassidy and accomplice Rennie. Confused, they thought Lady Killer was close to Hunt and a fight quickly developed that ended with the helicopter crashing near Hunt's hunting lodge and Rennie dead.

(Ultraverse Premiere#6/2) - Lady Killer knocked out Hunt's security team while Cassidy (who finally realized Lady Killer was not Hunt's mistress) armed up, intending to kill everyone to find and release his daughter Sal and as payback for taking over his company. Considering her options to fight or leave, Lady Killer used her power to direct herself on top of the compound wall for a better view. Seeing Cassidy's captive daughter in the window, Lady Killer chose to help Cassidy.

(Ultraverse Premiere#7/3) - Lady Killer fought her way inside and freed Sal, then called police. Lady Killer and Sal found Cass beaten by Hunt and his thugs. Lady Killer challenged Hunt about trying to cover up three murders to hide their presence; this distraction let Cass free himself. The police's arrival ended a gun-fueled standoff, and Lady Killer, Cass and Sal were able to drive away safely while Hunt made excuses.

(The Strangers#20) - At their base, Lady Killer, Spectral, ElectroCute, Grenade and Zip-Zap discussed the positives of the trading card deal for the Strangers' positive profile and income.

(The Strangers#14 (fb) - BTS) - Lady Killer gave the other team members time off (presumably allowing her to take care of business matters).

(The Strangers#15) - At their base, the Strangers reviewed those 16, including themselves, whom they knew were ultras from the cable car Jumpstart. Lady Killer revealed fashions she had developed to sell and the team's growing marketing potential. They then went their separate ways on personal matters.

(The Strangers#16) - Atom Bob held a block party at his parents' house for friends and key guests to give back to his Oakland neighborhood with media assembled outside the property. All the Strangers attended (except Spectral) and briefly discussed the ominous mystery of Pilgrim. Lady Killer spoke positively about Hardin to his mother privately. Villainous ultras Generator X, Lightshow and Rodent, keen to attack the successful Strangers, violently gatecrashed the party; Hardin had wandered away, leaving the other Strangers to fight. Lady Killer knocked down Lightshow. With the foes soon defeated, Pilgrim suddenly appeared (with Byter) and  blasted the Strangers back before taking the three villains for his small army, again threatening the heroes' destruction, then quickly disappeared through a portal. Hardin returned from around a brick wall with a happy guest. Lady Killer expressed the team's disappointment in Hardin by chiding him.

(The Strangers#17) - The Strangers held a tense meeting at their headquarters to discuss strategy against the Pilgrim. Due to their power set, Lady Killer put herself and Atom Bob on "shadow detail" to respond immediately. Days passed and Lady Killer launched a new fashion line (loosely styled after the Strangers' costumes); the other Strangers acted as security, but the ultra killer Rafferty stealthily broke through, almost murdering Lady Killer. In the chaos, Atom Bob turned into the menacing Pilgrim and asked Rafferty to join his army against the Strangers. Rafferty refused and it led to a staged fight between Pilgrim and an Atom Bob construct behind a force field during which Rafferty escaped.

(The Strangers#19 (fb)) - Pilgrim offered the Strangers a vague clue as to his real identity, which they misinterpreted in the heat of battle.

(The Strangers#17) - A blinding flash hid Hardin's reversal from Pilgrim back to Atom Bob, and the Atom Bob construct to a Pilgrim construct, so as to confuse the Strangers. Atom Bob then made it appear that the Pilgrim construct and Byter teleported away.

(Firearm#17) - Several members of the Strangers were held back from intervening against Rafferty during a siege against the villain due to a deadly device that would be triggered by ultra-powers.

(Firearm#18) - Lady Killer and several other ultras heard Alec Swan's request by police radio to keep away any backup for Rafferty.

(The Strangers#18) - The increasingly suspicious Strangers continued trying to work out who Pilgrim was, possibly even one of their own.  At the Strangers' Pier 25 base, Hardin proposed to Lady Killer but was rebuffed as she felt unready for the commitment; Hardin solemnly walked away. Later, they were soon caught in a surprise and coordinated attack by Scar and his Raiders, and quickly overwhelmed (although Atom Bob feigned defeat and secretly transformed into Pilgrim). The Raiders readied to kidnap the Strangers but Pilgrim and his allies warped in, quickly defeating and expelling them. As the Strangers recovered, Pilgrim promised his army each a Stranger to slay the next day and they teleported away. Pilgrim left a misleading clue. Meanwhile, ElectroCute had incorrectly concluded that the enigmatic android Teknight and Pilgrim were the same person and rushed to tell her colleagues; the Strangers set off to find Teknight, thinking he was Pilgrim in disguise.

(Night Man: The Pilgrim Conundrum Saga) - The Strangers found, fought and defeated Teknight but Night Man swung in and let their would-be foe speak. Teknight was searching for the Strangers to warn them of Pilgrim's nefarious plot to destroy the Strangers, the Pilgrim having planted seven bombs around San Francisco to force the Strangers to work separately. Night Man helped as each Stranger confronted one of Pilgrim's army. Yrial discerned the pattern of the bombs' locations and, with all of Pilgrim's army defeated, the Strangers homed in on her (while Night Man quickly dismantled most of the bombs), although the Atom Bob arriving with the group there was just another construct while Hardin secretly went back to Strangers HQ.

(The Strangers: The Pilgrim Conundrum Saga) - Thinking there would be a bomb at their base, the team raced back to Strangers HQ where they found Pilgrim with Byter and a bomb. Hardin secretly created a Pilgrim construct that "escaped", while the real Hardin stayed with the group. By now, Night Man had determined the identity of Pilgrim, shocking the other Strangers that it was Bob Hardin, particularly Lady Killer as she thought they loved each other. With his secret revealed. Hardin transformed into Pilgrim and gloated, saying he had grown beyond them, then fled. The Strangers, Night Man and Teknight all pursued and battled the power-mad Pilgrim to Coit Tower. The heroes kept wearing Hardin down, until eventually he fell, finally expending his own physical energy. Hardin smacked Lady Killer away, but she angrily punched him back; Grenade delivered the final knockout blow. Hardin was made unconscious by Yrial's magic. All the Strangers were devastated by Hardin's treachery.

(The Strangers#19) - Back at their base, the remaining Strangers all tried to cope with the betrayal of their teammate, Lady Killer particularly so as he was her lover. Walking off alone, she questioned herself about the team's future, but dismissed off a charity worker costumed as Santa who offered her shelter. However, the villainous Grip had tracked her down and sought to destroy her. Disoriented from losing Bob, her reactions were slow, but Teknight arrived and saved her. Concerned for her, the other Strangers arrived and heard Teknight's pledge to Lady Killer to help, and they welcomed Teknight as a new teammate.

(The Strangers#21) - Gathered around Atom Bob's inert body, Lady Killer asserted that he had to be cured or never wake again. She chose to take him to a special clinic she knew in Europe. At the airport, the other Strangers watched Lady Killer and Yrial take Atom Bob onboard a plane to Andorra and jet off.

(The Strangers#23) - Lady Killer and Yrial arrived in Andorra and took Atom Bob to La Clinique de Parsival. There, Lady Killer spoke to Dr. Horla and emphasized the need to keep Bob comatose because of the danger he posed until he could be returned to his original personality. Given the recent stress, La Brava chose to spend two days relaxing in Andorra with Yrial. However, the mystically cursed man Taboo, thinking the duo were pursuing him, attacked. Taboo countered Yrial's magic but was unnerved by Lady Killer's physical strikes. Taboo fled, but Lady Killer tracked him; again Yrial was knocked down but Lady Killer beat him down, adapting her clothing to strike at him. Taboo's wild howls triggered an avalanche that separated the foes. Thinking Taboo crushed, the two women flew back to the USA.

(The Strangers#24) - Lady Killer and Yrial rejoined their team at their pier base and compared adventures. La Brava suggested that the money the team made from marketing themselves could be directed toward their own base instead of operating out of her old business headquarters, but that it would be democratic vote. Meanwhile, swearing vengeance, Taboo pursued the duo and assembled an updated T.N.T.N.T. villainous team (Taboo, Naiad, Tugun, Neuronne, Tyrannosaurus). Several days later. the Strangers reconvened and met Spectral's partner Bill Kern, but T.N.T.N.T suddenly attacked. Each villain targeted a different Stranger from their earlier encounter, although Lady Killer quickly fell unconscious to Neuronne's secret attack. Soon defeated, the villains fled in a helicopter, but with the Strangers' flying members still unconscious, they were unable to give chase. Later, the Strangers, all recovered, wondered on the new T.N.T.N.T.'s future.

(The Phoenix Resurrection: Genesis) - When the exhausted Phoenix Force from Earth-616 sought a local Ultraverse host, it selected then dismissed multiple super-powered candidates, including Lady Killer, Grenade, and Zip-Zap from the Strangers.

Comments: Created by Steve Englehart, Rick Hoberg, Tim Burgard, Darick Robertson.

Her first appearance has her name as "La Brava" (two words), but later she is also spelled "LaBrava" (one word). Another inconsistency is her eye color: mostly brown but sometimes miscolored as brown or gray.

The "reboot" of the Ultraverse in the Black September event ended the Strangers run and virtually all the members disappeared, although their key ally Night Man continued and Zip-Zap guest-starred in a speed race in Prime II#10 (Zip-Zap's membership in the Strangers was recognized by the public, but it wasn't clear if the group was still active in a full capacity). The afterword in the final issue, Strangers #24, included finished covers for issues #25-27 in a possible 3-part storyline where the Strangers appear to encounter aliens. They definitely received new costumes, confirmed in the "next issue" box of issue #24, which states "celebration of the Jumpstart! With new costumes, and party guests from beyond the stars!" One can only speculate how many completed (or near-complete) issues were lost as Black September hit and what is left today decades later.

Although Lady Killer and Yrial both appear on the covers of The Strangers #14 & #22, they do not appear in the stories inside.

The clinic in The Strangers#23 is in Andorra; the official language there is Catalan. However, "La Clinique de Parsival" translates from FRENCH to the Parsival Clinic. While Spanish, French and Portuguese are also widely spoken in Andorra, it does seem unusual to have the clinic's title in French.

The Strangers#20 issue is a curious filler issue that doesn't quite fit between #19 & #21 and its "happy" feel doesn't sit well later, so I've slotted it in earlier.

The Ultraverse Origins 2-page story in January 1994 is a summary of the team's origins and offers no new information.

Artist Frank Fosco stated he did uncredited ghosting layouts for Rick Hoberg on The Strangers#5 on his Facebook page on 6/16/2021.

Creator Steve Englehart did some diligent research for real life placement; the cable car line has appropriate crossing streets listed and nearby Coit Tower. Coincidentally, I caught a cable car on this line when I briefly visited San Francisco a long while back, a few years before the Appendix gave me a proper introduction to the Ultraverse and welcomed me to explore further!

This profile was completed 06/08/2026, but its publication was delayed as it was intended for the Appendix 25th anniversary 's celebratory event to represent Lady Killer.
