Powers: Menagerie's body was covered with insect-like alien symbiotes she could detach and direct. Her weapon crèche gave her claws, spikes, and bat wings that enabled flight.

History: Menagerie possessed a weapons crèche of symbiotic aliens, or symbeasts that gave her powers. Manchester Black recruited her into his Elite, a powerful group of superhumans that acted as ultra-violent vigilantes who showed no regard for the safety of the public. Superman managed to defeat them, earning Manchester's eternal hatred. Menagerie revealed to Superman that the Elite had been coerced by Black's mental powers, so Black responded to her "betrayal" by giving her a stroke, leaving her in a coma.
