. Her civilian name is Angelica, and her suit was given to her by Clock King
, who brought her in from a dilapidated group home, and with whom she is having a sexual relationship. Angelica believes that she is the daughter of the original Disruptor (This is later revealed as a lie told to her by Clock King). She was found in a trash can as a baby, and growing up had a violently irrational hatred for other females. She was once taken in by adoptive parents, but later killed her adoptive mother, feeling that she was competition for the adoptive father's affections. She was put into prison soon afterward. Angelica has gained a particular hatred for Ravager
, amplified by Clock King's fascination for the former Teen Titan, and his growing disdain for herself. Subsequently, Angelica has tried to have Ravager killed several times, but failed each time. When Clock King puts his plan of destroying Los Angeles in motion, Ravager attempted to stop him, leading Angelica and the Terror Titans to attack her. Ravager manages to turn the tables and use Angelica as a hostage, at the same time Miss Martian
freed Clock King's army of brainwashed metahumans, forcing the Terror Titans to retreat. Clock King punished Angelica for her failure by killing her, using her own suit to incinerate her body.
