Origin

Throughout the mid-eighties, Supes became a more and more popular drug, and despite the Regulators' best efforts, it continued to proliferate in the streets of Paragon City. There seemed to be no obvious, organized force behind the drug's distribution. Dealers were simply waking up and finding stashes of the serum in their homes. With no distribution and money trail to follow, it was impossible to get to the source of the problem. Paragon City became a very dark, gritty place to live. Despite the growing strength of the national economy, crime (both street and super villain) continued to rise.

The Back Alley Brawler was finally able to track the drug back to its source, a secret laboratory beneath a skyscraper in downtown Paragon City. The facility turned out to be much more than a mere drug lab. It was a modern, high-tech, research facility. Not only were they manufacturing and distributing the drug, but they were also monitoring its effects on addicts. As this was a little out of his area of expertise, the Brawler placed a call to the Freedom Phalanx for some technical support. The scientists took the facility apart, freed the captive addicts and made some truly startling discoveries. The mysterious scientists, who resisted all attempts at interrogation, were not concerned so much with addicting America's youth as they were interested in seeing what effect their mind and body altering concoctions had upon the subjects.

The nefarious researchers had learned that, in less than 1% of those addicted to Supes, the human brain undergoes a radical alteration. The result is the creation of a new kind of sense - the ability to see, and even travel to other dimensions. This amazing psychic feat had long been theorized, as had the existence of alternate realities. The researchers had proven the theories true. Although the process drove the addicts quite mad, it also showed them whole other worlds; worlds similar, but yet different than our own.

Selma was born to parents who were addicted to Supes. They were also part of the 1%.

She was raised in a lab and studied. No other children of addicted parents had shown her type of powers. Then she was freed in the raid by the Brawler. Her parents had gone missing a year before. It is assumed that they teleported to another dimension.

Selma inherited her parent’s’ abilities of being able to see other dimensions. She also learned how to move herself and others from place to place with just her mind. By shifting her self slightly between dimensions, she learned how to fly, move, and react faster than other normal humans.

Donning a costume and calling herself Ms Mystic, thinking that a name like that would lend others to believe she was of mystical origin, she hit the streets of Paragon City to help keep others from being abused by the drug Supes. Working with Back Ally Brawler, many cases of Superadine were destroyed. But that is still not enough… Selma is trying to perfect her powers, so she can go looking for her parents.

Meeting up with the hero calling herself Miss Tigress, together they teamed up with Starmaster, and were both invited to join the Avatars of Justice.
