Fictional character biography
Moon Maiden, also known as the Praemonstra Supra, is a superpowered entity created by the Hundred, ancient Roman ghosts who reside on the Moon, to battle the villainous Centurion. After human astronaut Hugh Klein encounters the Hundred during a lunar mission, they allow him and his wife Jenny to adopt and raise the infant, who they name Laura.
After learning of her origin and purpose, Laura becomes a superhero and an early member of the Justice League. However, she and the Centurion are erased from history after she destroys his Erasure Weapon before Hugh restores the League's memories of her.[1]
Powers and abilities
Moon Maiden can manipulate the Moon's gravitational pull. The effects range from moving small items around, to flight, to manipulating tides and earthquakes. She can also induce an effect called 'Lunar Madness' in others, which can manifest as anything from traumatic flashbacks to being driven permanently insane.
