PRYSM

Real Name: Audrey Spears

Class: Human / extraterrestrial (H'San Natall) hybrid

Occupation: Superhero

Group Affiliation: formerly Teen Titans

Known Relatives: Ch'ah (father), Queen Miraset (mother)

Aliases: None

Base of Operations: Mobile

First Appearance: Teen Titans II #1 (October, 1996)

Powers: Prysm had light-based powers that let her absorb and reflect light, turn invisible or shoot destructive light beams. She had a mental connection with the other H'San Natall Titans that let her know when they were in trouble.

History: Audrey was the result of a H'San Natall breeding program intended to create an advance race of Natall/human hybrid warriors to help the aliens conquer Earth. She grew up inside a VR program created by the Natall and based on typical 1950s' family television. When she learned her life experiences had been simulated she broke away from the Natall, took the superhero identity of Prysm and joined other Natall hybrids as the Teen Titans.

(Supergirl / Prysm Double-Shot #1) - Prysm felt guilty living with Mr. Jupiter because seeing her reminded him of Joto's death, so she looked for another place to stay. Her friend Argent was no longer living at home, so the only person she could think to ask was Supergirl, who impressed her as being very kind the one time they met. She explained her situation to Supergirl, but then got a mental distress signal from Fringe, so she and Supergirl investigated. They discovered that Jugular had Fringe captive, and was trying to erase evidence of his visit to Earth by killing Micky and Tamara, a married couple that observed him. Prysm and Supergirl fought him, but Fringe was the one to defeat him. Tamara recognized Fringe as the son she'd abandoned years ago, and took him in. After a semi-joyful reunion Prysm and Supergirl joined the family for dinner. Prysm wished she had a family, and watched Father's World, one of the tv shows that had characters from her childhood, to cheer herself up.

The Teen Titans disbanded, and after Prysm finally met her parents she convinced the Natall to leave Earth alone. She chose to remain with her parents and explore space with them.
