History
Helen's prayers were answered in the form of her being endowed with the power of a Nova. Driven by the need for vengeance, Helen began a one-woman crusade against the underworld in order to seek out her husband's killer. Those who were unable to provide her with information were killed by her hands. Of her many victims, the most notable of them was the Kingpin.
Her vigilante activities gained the attention of the government, and with their growing concern about her activities requested the Fantastic Four to capture her. Although she gave the group of famous super-heroes a good fight, she was defeated in combat by the Invisible Girl. Examined by Mr. Fantastic, the Fantastic Four leader found no way to neutralize her powers and decided to exile her to the Negative Zone so that she would be no harm to anyone.
Ironically, the killer of Helen's husband would be found dead shortly after -- having driven his car into Long Island Sound not long after the tragedy.[1]
