Biography
Early life
At some point in time, "Xotar" gained meta-human powers and started committing crimes in National City. Her specialty was bending spoons.[1]
Attacking Central City
Later, Xotar decided to attack Central City Bank and a diamond exchange truck, leaving her victims behind driven crazy by her psychic powers. During the latter of the attacks, the Flash tried to stop her, but he was also affected by her powers and ended back up in his apartment without any memory of getting there. When Xotar attacked a Central City Museum convoy, the Flash appeared yet again. This time, Xotar used her telekinesis to stop him, but was eventually struck by the lightning he built up in his body and taken to prison.[1]
