Fictional character biography
editGemini De Mille
editGemini De Mille is the daughter of Madame Rouge. In the Beast Boy mini-series, she sought revenge against Beast Boy for killing her mother, her insanity having twisted her mother's death as the deliberate fault of the Chief and Beast Boy when it was merely an accident. She attempted to frame Beast Boy for the murders of his former cast members in an old TV show. After being tracked down by Beast Boy, Gemini reveals the bound and gagged forms of Vicky Valiant and Tim Bender, two of Gar's old co-stars whom she intends to murder. She is thwarted by Beast Boy, Flamebird, and Nightwing. Nightwing saw through her attempt to impersonate Beast Boy, as she attacked him when she failed to address him by his real name during their fight.[2]
Subsequently, she joined her mother's old group the Brotherhood of Evil. Her first mission with them was an arms deal with Penguin in Blüdhaven, but Batgirl defeated them.[3]
During the "Infinite Crisis" storyline, Gemini became a member of the Secret Society of Super Villains.[4]
In the "One Year Later" storyline, Gemini rejoins the Brotherhood of Evil.[5]
In 2016, DC Comics implemented another relaunch called "DC Rebirth", which restored its continuity to a form much as it was before "The New 52". Gemini is pursued by Nightwing out of Blüdhaven before falling victim to Blackbird's plan to drain metahumans of their powers. She returns to the Birds, Nightwing and Green Arrow for help, who defeat Blackbird.[6]
Santiago and Belladonna
editSantiago and Belladonna were two lovers from the 1940s obsessed with things like power absorbing and mystical relics. One relic they found were mystical gauntlets that enabled them to absorb energy which they used to keep themselves young. They operated as Gemini and targeted Flash to steal his super-speed. These plans lasted until Psych kills Santiago during their fight with him and Flash.[7]
Belladonna later appears among the Flash villains recruited by Professor Zoom to join the Legion of Zoom.[8]
Powers and abilities
editThe powers of Gemini De Mille are similar to her mother Madame Rouge. She can take on any shape or form at will, stretch herself like rubber, and have an amorphous physiology. Currently, she has a weakness to fire.
Santiago and Belladonna have super-strength. The mystical gauntlets worn by Santiago and Belladonna enable them to absorb energy.
