History[]
Early history[]
Under unknown circumstances, Mist was sentenced to Belle Reve Penitentiary. While en route to prison, her transportation was intercepted by Branchwater Security. Like every other victim of this meta-human trafficking ring, Mist was abducted and then enslaved via an injection of Mad Hatter's nano-tech.[4]
Nightwing's team tracked Mist and her accomplices down in an empty warehouse, as they were getting ready to make their escape. She sparred with Nightwing, who had difficulty hitting her in misty form. She materialized her hands and choked him, all the while apologizing profusely for her actions. Nightwing eventually managed to retrieve a chemical spray from his pocket, which crystallized her.[4]
A few days after being liberated from meta-human traffickers, Mist and Livewire joined the Meta-Human Youth Center.[7]
Afterwards, in a training session supervised by Eduardo Sr., Mist turned into her vaporous form to demonstrate her control of her powers. Wendy got a little carried away using her aerokinesis and created a cyclone which ensnared Mist and knocked her to the ground. Livewire retaliated and engaged Wendy, who in turn began to suck all of the oxygen out of the room, causing everyone else to fall to the ground, gasping for air. Eduardo Jr. managed to teleport them both outside the Center to save everyone.
Later in another counselling session, Mist and Livewire walked away with a visible look of resentment towards Wendy.[8]
At the Harvest Festival carnival, Mist had fun riding bumper cars with Livewire, who later treated both of them with some cotton candy. After sunset, Mist and every other meta-teens were gassed unconscious by Onslaught, who intended to abduct them. Mist was snatched by Tuppence Terror but Beast Boy and Static rescued her.[9]
Andie cleaned the spoiled food from the fridge in the Premiere Building kitchen. When Blue Devil noted it was Garfield's turn to clean the fridge, she said she volunteered to do it for him as he was so tired.[2]
Beta went to Royal Memorial Hospital undercover as a United Nations commission after five patients were admitted to with unexplained comas. They found all five worked at a mining camp near Krastmala.[13]
Beta infiltrated the mining camp. Mist was posted as lookout and soon saw six armored units like those that abducted Perdita Vladek approach. She joined the rest of the squad. Orphan saw from their body language that the attackers were robots, and promptly beheaded one. The squad then took down the rest of them.[13]
Powers and abilities[]
Sublimation: Mist can turn her body into a vaporous form. She masters this ability to such a degree that she can simultaneously make certain parts of her body intangible and others corporeal, allowing her to attack without exposing herself to enemy attacks.[4] Her ability does not affect clothing.[4][8]
The Mist is the arch enemy of Starman (Ted Knight), and his daughter Nash had the same powers. She fought Ted's son and successor Jack Knight and, during one fight, raped him, which resulted in the birth of their son Kyle Theodore. Following her death, Jack retired as Starman and took Teddy to live with him and his pregnant girlfriend Sadie in San Francisco.
The real name "Andie Murphy" is a reference to Andy "Murph" Murphy, a fake identity used by the first Mist in Starman #26 (1990).
