Countdown to THE PYRITE WAR #7: Mysteria

MYSTERIA

Powers: Mysteria could cause someone to experience intense visual hallucinations virtually indistinguishable from reality.

First Appearance: The Pyrite War

Notes from the Simon Tower Archive: This gal, from everything I’ve heard, could be deadly. You didn’t have to look her in the eye for her to cast her illusions on you, she only had to see your eyes. The next thing you knew, you thought you were wandering through the Sahara Desert or sitting on the moon, staring back at Earth, scaring the hell out of you. She was the original Creepy Cape.

In 1939 Siegel City only had one superhero, the world’s first. When he discovered his powers, Gabriel Ruston thought he would be the second, but died on his first excursion in costume.

After Gabriel’s death, his brother David is drawn into an investigation. What if Gabriel wasn’t the second? What if there were others? What if something tragic happened to all of them?

In Siegel City, nothing is ever what it seems… even in a Golden Age.

THE PYRITE WAR launches on September 10, 2013. Prepare for battle.
