Faith

                Today I am going to talk about another obscure DC comic character. Faith is actually my fiancée’s favorite superhero.  Faith in many ways is like Zauriel, both are enigmas, both take on humanistic characteristics—and both have different forms with hypothetical powers.

                A little bio of Faith—Faith is basically a Hispanic DC hero that was found and trained by the Brazilian government. What her real name is and what her origins are is unknown. It is hypothetical to assume that she is some type of alien being in human guise. Faith also boasts great telepathic and telekinetic abilities. In my own opinion, she is the Jean Grey (with Phoenix force) of the DC universe.

                She has destroyed an entire star fleet and also has a calming aura, which allows her and her teammates to work together more efficiently—nicknamed the “Fat Lady” in reference to “It is not over till the fat lady sings,” Faith is sort of a psionic powerhouse.

                While Faith’s first appearance was in JLA #69, Faith mostly has stayed a mystery.  Faith has not received any more attention, has not had all her powers defined, and still we don’t know what alien being she actually is (could assume White Martian, but then she would have had super strength shown)—so in conclusion, I doubt we will see anything else about this character, which is a shame because she had much potential to be the Jean Grey of the DC universe and a good character to show from a different cultural perspective. Thanks for the readings and I hope you all have a good day.
