Fictional character biography
Stompa is a member of Apokolips' Female Furies who Granny Goodness personally trained.[2] To prove her loyalty to Goodness, Stompa attacks the Furies' former leader, Big Barda, on Earth. However, Stompa becomes an ally of Barda and Mister Miracle before they return to Apokolips and are punished for their betrayal.[3]
The Female Furies are later sent to retrieve Glorious Godfrey from Earth and come into conflict with the Suicide Squad. The group successfully retrieves Godfrey, but Bernadeth abandons Lashina and leaves her for dead. Stompa was indifferent to the situation between the two Furies, but when Lashina brings the Suicide Squad to Apokolips, Stompa allies with her fellow New Gods. In the ensuing battle, Stompa is defeated by Big Barda. She later resurfaces with the other Furies when they are sent to capture Mister Miracle.[4]
Stompa has also battled Superman on several occasions, with one seeing the Furies kill Harbinger. She is stabbed by Barda and presumed dead, but later returns.
