Strange Visitor

When Dominus attacked and wounded Kismet she managed to escape. Superman and Waverider managed to hide Kismet in the past as Clark's childhood friend Sharon (SUP #139). Kismet's powers soon worked through Sharon causing her to become the superheroin known as Strange Visitor, wearing Superman's old blue energy costume. Fighting alongside Superman to stop a powerful villain known as War, and working with Professor Hamilton to secure her powers, Sharon is confronted by her fiance who recognised her on a TV News Flash. Upset over the confusion this causes, Strange Visitor lost control of her powers momentarily, before Superman supervised a siphoning off of her excess powers using the Parasite which ultimately back-fired.

Disappearing for some time, Strange Visitor recently reappeared as the source of a strange electrical storm that seemed to focus on LexCorp Towers. This strange electrical storm caused Jimmy Olsen to be sucked into a video game he was playing, where he is saved from the electronic combatants by Strange Visitor, before she again vanishes (AOS #592).

Strange Visitor met her end at the conclusion of the war with Imperiex. In a last ditched effort to defeat Imperiex, Strange Visitor revealed to Superman that she was indeed Kismet merged with Sharon Vance, before heroicly giving over all of her energy to Superman to enable him to defeat Imperiex (SUP #173).

First Appearance: SUP #149 (Oct 1999).
