Personality

Does not appear to want to kill,<ref>Shadow 5.5</ref> but still quite reckless.

Appearance

As a cape, Etna wears a robe that leaves little to the imagination, and a six horned black mask likely meant to evoke her name sake.<ref name=5.4>The entire assembly of villains reacted. Etna, who wore a revealing robe in glossy silk, and a black mask with six horns, threw globs of superheated glass. - Excerpt from Shadow 5.4</ref>

Abilities and Powers

Etna has the ability to create globs of superheated glass. She usually lobs these during battle.<ref name=5.4/> These globs can splash upon impact increasing her combat potential.

She has also showcased the ability to float in a heat bubble,<ref> Etna was hurling globs, and her intent clearly wasn’t to hit our group. She wanted to herd, to take the group that was struggling and force them into continual retreat, deeper into the patch of traps.

But her aim wasn’t perfect. One splash landed close, and it splashed, gobbets flying toward the group. One hit Byron’s armor, only missing his eye because he ducked his head at the last second. Another hit my mother, a quarter-sized lump.

I caught and blocked the next. I could see her floating above the field, a heat shimmer surrounding her, the air steaming. - Excerpt from Heavens 12.2 </ref> and an unskilled level of flight.<ref>Heavens 12.5</ref>

History

Early Ward

Was a part of Prancers coalition of villains residing in Hollow Point.

Took part in defending Hollow Point from an unnamed group of heroes and their allies. reacted badly when she thought she had killed a child hero.

Post-Fallen fall

Was arrested at a drop off point by members of the new heroes network, while vastly outnumbered.<ref>I saw Etna reacting with a measure of panic as the heroes came in. She backed up toward the loading bay door where there was more cover, separating herself from the other villains and their mooks.
[...]
Etna, having retreated, was now faced with a huge numbers disadvantage, with no help from her peers. A surrender. - Excerpt from Beacon 8.6</ref>

Post-Goddess' Takeover

Was broken out of prison by Bitter Pill and company, despite not working for them. Agreed to do a few jobs with them as payment.<ref>Blinding 11.1</ref>

Was present in Earth N, when Antares and her team made a foray there. She almost got drowned in the first fight, got violently swatted from the air to the ground in the second, and skipped the third opportunity to meet them.

In subsequent days Etna decided to retire from life as a villain and have a go at being a B-list heroine.<ref>“Out of curiosity,” I said. “Etna. What happened to her? She okay?”

“She retired,” Midas said, behind me.

“She retired?”

Prancer explained, “Went out after Bitch and her hounds, that night three weeks ago. Took a hit, decided she was done. Hung up her costume, moved. Said she’d probably have to do something cape-ish to work out her stress, so she might be a B-list heroine.” - Excerpt from Black 13.9</ref>

Post-Attack on Teacher

Etna showed up with her new team, The Huntsmen to defend civilians from the villainous group Deathchester.

Trivia
