Paul Dini's Madam Mirage.....
Another superheroine you may have never heard of is Top Cow's Madame Mirage.
It's funny how a lot of the best female superheroes aren’t done by the mainstream companies.
Madame Mirage is a vigilante that fights crime with mind control, magic and shape-shifting. She was created by Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond) and the character herself is physically based on his wife, professional magician. Misty Lee. Besides magic, Misty is trained in cognitive interview techniques and is pretty much a real life Cal Lightman from "Lie to Me" having trained CIA, ATF, and Scotland Yard agents.
But anyway, back to Madame Mirage, her adventures are set in a world where superheroes are all created by technology and bio-engineering. The whole hero thing got out of hand and the heroes had to go underground.
Madame Mirage is kind of a Shadow/Batman character and she even has her own sidekick, her sister Harper. Or is Harper really her sidekick? Yeah...it's one of those comics. Like the "Ghost" comic I mentioned in an earlier post, nothing is quite what it seems.
But it is totally worth checking out.
