Background

Silva Synn was a go-go dancer in Florida when she was kidnapped by the Brotherhood of Purity. The Brotherhood was a pious, self-righteous group determined to eradicate anything they viewed as obscene. The undesirables they could not run out of town they abducted and turned over to Dr. Dirk Dorcas, a crackpot scientist who needed human subjects to experiment on. Dorcas was trying to perfect a system for cryo-freezing human subjects and used the victims the Brotherhood brought him for his tests.

However, Dorcas was enraptured by Synn’s beauty and decided to toy with her. He subjected her to electric shock, but the results were not what he expected. In her youth, Synn had frequently used LSD, and the residual drugs in her body chemistry reacted with the voltage and expanded her mind to near god-like levels. She became an all-powerful entity, capable of nearly anything, except self-control. Subject to frequent acid trips, her powers caused everyone in her vicinity to share the hallucinations. Ultimately, government agents with the help of Atoman captured her for study and training. Her heightened intelligence fluctuated over time, and at its peak she escaped confinement. Before the government could recapture her, Synn stumbled across a battle between Nightveil and Alizarin Crimson. Synn helped Nightveil win the day, and in return Nightveil was able to get Synn into the Femforce where she’s stayed ever since.
