Haitian Vodou from her mother and grandmother. Toward the end of the mini-series, Empress appears in costume, assisting Wonder Girl and several other Young Justice alumni against the
Female Furies. Anita appears in
Final Crisis along with
Más y Menos and
Sparx in a failed attempt to launch the League of Titans. The four are defeated by
Mirror Master and
Doctor Light. She next appears in
Supergirl vol. 5 #33 (July 2008). After her parents (still in their infant bodies) are kidnapped, Empress seeks out
Supergirl to help her retrieve them. It is revealed that Empress is leading Supergirl into a trap on the orders of the supervillain, in exchange for the safe return of her parents. Empress then double-crosses the villain and aids in saving her parents and Supergirl. ==Powers and abilities==
