History: Courtney was a runaway that ran afoul of a cult ion New Orleans that sacrificed her to Space Parasites Pritor and Lissik. Instead of dying her metahuman abilities surfaced. She had within her the shadowy Animus, an embodiment of mankind's rage and masculine drive.

(Eclipso Annual #1) - Linus Powell constructed a fusion reactor that functioned as a miniature sun using a black diamond given to him by Dr. Bruce Gordon, the arch-enemy of Eclipso. They both knew Eclipso would try to stop him from using a black diamond to generate light, but the location of the observatory in the middle of the Great Salt Lake was strategic; the water serving as a natural barrier that gave Powell time to disable Eclipsoi's possessed legions using a solar battery panel. Journalist Sidney Bateman covered Powell's work for Johnny Peril's Thrill Seekers. He demonstrated the nightly repulsion of Eclipso, but Eclipso witnessed the Space Parasite Angon commit a massacre on a highway, and convinced her to attack the observatory, saying they were working on a weapon to destroy her and her brethren. Angon slaughtered Bateman and Powell's crew, and Powell valiantly if pointlessly fought back. She was impressed, and fed from his spinal fluid, activating his metagene. Eclipso entered the facility and reclaimed his diamond, destroying the reactor, and causing a huge explosion. Powell was blasted clear, and woke up learning he'd been transformed into a crystalline form with power over light. Fellow Bloodline heroes Loose Cannon, Anima, Sparx, Edge, and Nightblade found him, and offered him the chance to join them and destroy the Space Parasites. Powell, or Prism as Sparx called him, was disorientated, and they fought until he came to his senses. The heroes, with the help of Johnny Peril, fought Angon, who'd been possessed by Eclipso, and Prism banished Eclipso by turning the light of his black diamond into sunlight. He decided to stay with his new friends and finish off the Parasites.

(Titans East Special #1, Titans II #1) - Cyborg recruited a new roster of young heroes and contacted his old friends to reform the Titans and train them. Everyone turned him down, but Nightwing told him he appreciated what he was trying to do. They bout had a moment of nostalgia for the Titans, and how they were always equally family and a team. Cyborg assembled the new Hawk and Dove, Power Boy, Lagoon Boy, Anima, Son of Vulcan and Little Barda as the Teen Titans East. He wanted them to prove themselves as a team, so he set up a war game where the rest of the team would try to subdue Power Boy, whose cockiness and unfortunate run-in with Supergirl meant he had yet to earn Cyborg’s trust, despite his immense power. The team functioned decently, if not entirely in synch before Power Boy was charred and impaled on a tree. Laser beams cut down the rest of the team, as Cyborg watched helplessly before he was consumed y a fireball that destroyed most of his body. The former Titans responded, and Raven realized that her father Trigon was trying to kill every last Titan, past or present.

(Faces of Evil: Prometheus #1) - Prometheus fatally shot Hook during a robbery, and the Blood Pack pursued him in the name of justice. They caught up to him, but he was also being pursued by his mentor, the original, and much more dangerous Prometheus. The real Prometheus told the Blood Pack not to interfere in his business with his protégé, but Gunfire heedlessly attacked him. Prometheus responded by cutting off his hands, rendering him powerless. Prometheus opened a portal to his extradimensional Ghost Zone, and an infuriated Anima leapt through to pursue him, but it closed as she was halfway through, cutting her in half.
