Home > Female Furies
In comic books, the Female Furies were a squadron of Apokalips-based fighters in Jack Kirby's Fourth World meta-series. Led by Granny Goodness, they were fanatically loyal to Darkseid. Big Barda was a former member, until she escaped to Earth with Mister Miracle.Known Female Furies include:
- Artemis, an archer with bio-seeking arrows. Not to be confused with the Amazon Artemis, who took the name Wonder Woman.
- Bernadeth, sister of Desaad, armed with a burning "faren-knife". Often challenges Lashina's leadership.
- Bloody Mary, a vampire-like character with energy-draining eye-beams.
- Gillotina, a young Fury who could slice through things with karate chops, later abandoned the Furies to work with Project Cadmus .
- Knockout, a Superboy villain who, like Barda, escaped the Furies. She has super-strength and views life-or-death battle as flirting.
- Lashina, armed with mentally controlled metal bands. The leader of the Furies.
- Mad Harriet, a cackling madwoman with razor-sharp claws.
- Malice Vundabar, the neice of Virman Vundabar . Apparently even younger than Gillotina, she resembles Alice in Wonderland, and controls a savage, disembodied mouth called Chessure (see Cheshire Cat).
- Speed Queen, as her name suggests, has super-speed.
- Stompa, who creates earthquakes by stamping her foot.
- Twilight's mother. Name unknown, she escaped the Furies centuries ago, and left her daughter to be raised on Earth, where she eventually became a Supergirl villain/supporting character.
Bernadeth, Lashina, Stompa and Mad Harriet are the core members of the group, with others appearing only occasionally.
