Lady Lethal A deadly supervillain of monumental physical strength. History In 1966, she seemingly killed Supersonic in brutal combat, her fists gouging holes into his body. However, though the hero was clinically dead, he later revived on the autopsy table. Fast forward eight years to a court room in downtown Astro City where defense attorney Vince Oleck used this resurrection as one of many super-heroic incidents to establish a basis of reasonable doubt in a murder trial. The victim in that trial had been autopsied and pronounced dead by the same coroner who examined Supersonic. The coroner's mistake in 1966 was used by defense attorney Oleck, to plant doubt about the autopsy results in 1974. Vince argued that given the nature of the times, one couldn't be 100% sure the victim was truly dead. ("Knock Wood") Powers Given Supersonic's levels of durability and strength, and given what happened to him in that brutal battle in 1966, Lady Lethal's own powers must be on a vast and very significant scale.
