History:
(The Strangers#7 (fb) - BTS) - The woman who would become Supra was the first of ten people selected by the Soviet Union as part of its Empire program to undergo experiments to become ultras (superhumans). She became Empire-1.

(The Strangers#7 (fb) - BTS) - After the break-up of the Soviet Union,

(The Strangers#7 (fb) - BTS) - Several aliens were from an unrevealed star system took over an old Russian satellite in Earth orbit and killed the crew.

    Russian sensors told them that alien-life had settled in their satellite.supra-93060-s7-upper

    Supra was taught the complete layout of the Russian space station and assigned to forestall any chance of their survival. Additionally, their readings of the aliens' life-forces indicated that specific energies were needed to cleanse theirs, and the needed energies were built into Supra's ultra body.

(Prototype#5 - BTS) - The Strangers stole J.D. Hunt's JDH-3000 rocket, intending to travel to the moon -- as a result of the influence of the Entity on the Moon -- in hopes of learning the origins of their powers. However, they were unable to alter its programming to go to a Russian space station

(Prototype#5 - BTS) - Hunt blamed UltraTech's security for losing the JDH-3000 rocket, and UltraTech's president Stanley Leland ordered a pursuit mission using the CCCP-49 Russian shuttle they had picked up cheap from the Russians after the break-up of the USSR. Not trusting the inexperienced Prototype (Jimmy Ruiz) to return both this shuttle and Hunt's rocket, Leland sent along Supra as the head of the expedition, with Empire-7 as Prototype's co-pilot.

(Prototype#5) - At the already-prepped shuttle, Prototype was introduced to Empire-7 and Supra. When Prototype commented, "Who wouldn't want to get lost in space with a Russian babe like you!", Supra cast him to the ground, telling Leland it was a pity that they could only perfect the suit and not the man inside. Jimmy told her that if they got out of this alive, they would have to go for best of three falls, and Supra told him that she would be waiting.

    Supra, Empire-7 and Prototype subsequently took off in the rocket. Having just enough fuel in the ship, Empire-7 crashed the CCCP-49 into the Russian space station, after which they heard a woman's scream, and Supra and her allies investigated, finding the Strangers under attack by monstrous aliens. Supra proclaimed, "By the Supreme Soviet! What in the name of Lenin's ghost is that?"

(The Strangers#7) - Barely fighting off the dangerous aliens, who fled from their combined attacks, Prototype and the Strangers got into a fight when Prototype insisted that he was taking the JDH-3000 back to Earth. The struggle blasted a hole through the station's external wall, Spectral's powers extended a protective field that saved Supra, Empire-7 and the rest of his team.

(The Strangers#7 (fb) - BTS) - Unlocking and locking doors to get to the central command module without allowing the aliens to get to her, Supra began to program the module to blow up the space station to kill the aliens.

(The Strangers#7 - BTS) - Ultimately, Electrocute forced Prototype to surrender, and he agreed to cooperate with the Strangers while Atom Bob repaired the damaged hull, after which they realized that Supra was missing.

    The group split up to investigate the three spokes radiating from their central location, and Empire-7 was killed by the aliens. Although the aliens stole the fuel from the JDH-3000, Atom Bob replaced it by transmuting some metal scrap into rocket fuel.

(The Strangers#7) - Lady Killer, Yrial and Zip-Zap located Supra, who revealed that she had programmed the space station to self-destruct. After revealing that she had been sent specifically to destroy the aliens, Supra refused offers to accompany the others as they departed in the JDH-3000. She told them, "Those are not my orders! Farewell Strangers...Prototype!"

    After the others departed, Supra detonated the space station and presumably perished along with it.
