In Reality Z-25 31-H, Hexia was a supervillainess and witch, an old foe of Captain Evening who had a flirtatious relationship with the hero.

Description

Physical appearance

Hexia was a tall woman with pale skin and long, wavy, light-coloured hair. She typically wore dark lipstick and eye make-up, and a fairly revealing outfit including a ragged-looking black cape, a raised collar, a skimpy black dress whose V-shaped neckline went down to her midriff, black heels, and black gloves covering most of her arms whose fingers were tipped with claws. This was complemented with a chain around her waist with a pentagram for a belt-buckle, a spiked choker around her beck, and a black garter on her right thigh.

Personality

Hexia reveled in the aesthetics of villainy but did not appear to take her criminal career very seriously, improvising her crimes with feckless hedonism. She had a childish interest in arbitrarily humiliating people, but, much as she enjoyed embarrassing him, seemed to have a degree of genuine fondness for her frequent foe Captain Evening, as well as a degree of physical attraction. Despite her seemingly serious mystical-evil-doer persona, she was quick to drop the act when she reached the limits of her actual power and revert to purely practical measures such as holding people at gunpoint. Moreover, she seemed to quickly weary of being surrounded by “weirdness” unless she was at the epicenter of it. (COMIC: Battle of Britain)

Powers and abilities

As a witch, Hexia claimed to possess a number of “outworldly mystical powers”. When she called upon them to her full potential, her eyes glowed, obscuring her irises and pupils. She could appear wreathed in an aura of flames, and also use short-range vanishing spells on herself, although she found this difficult. (COMIC: Season of the Witch)

Biography

 
Hexia tries to intimidate Merv the Griffin. (COMIC: Season of the Witch)

In what was not her first encounter with Captain Evening, Hexia and her small group of goth henchfolks crashed a special live edition of Channel 6's Hero Hour program where Captain Evening was being interviewed by Amanda Allen. The villains overpowered the Captain, putting him in chains after forcing him to take off his superhero outfit. Reasoning that it would make them less likely to attempt an escape, and also out of sheer schoolyard sadism, she also made the rest of the TV crew, including Amanda Allen, strip down to their underwear.

She had not apparently thought of a plan beyond crashing the broadcast, and began making one up as she went along, briefly voicing her intent to kidnap the entire TV crew and then force them to make her own, supervillainy-focused show instead. When the Commissioner asked her for practical demands, she defaulted to asking for a getaway helicopter. While this was being arranged, however, Merv the Griffin, the Blue Knight and Armstrong Fatbuckle, alerted to the situation by the Commissioner, made their way into the Channel 6 studios. They made short work of Hexia's henchfolks, and Hexia herself was knocked out by Amanda Allen using a wooden chair before she could use her magic to turn the tide of battle.

However, the dazed villainess did manage to slip away and get to the helicopter. Merv proved unable to fly fast enough to give chase, but the witch was soon tackled out of the vehicle, in flight, by newly-minted independent heroine Jung-La. Startled by Hexia using a vanishing spell to slip from her grasp, Jung-La lost her grip on the vine she had used to swing across from a skyscraper, only to be saved from certain death by the Captain, who had recovered his uniform and Skycicle and caught her out of the sky.

Due to the delay, however, Armstrong and Merv then made it aboard the helicopter. Now resorting to ordinary violence, the witch shot Armstrong's skull off, but this did nothing to slow down the undead skeleton, and rather than continue the fight, she gave herself up, apparently overcome with the absurdity of the situation moreso than admitting that she couldn't' have won the fight.
