The original Love Potion was a biochemical formula developed by the Crew's [[Cupida Hartnell|Creator]]. However, the formula was misplaced early on by the [[Prefect]] of the [[Department of Chemistry]], [[Mandragora-257|#257]]. Subsequently, the goddess [[Aphrodite#In the Prime Universe|Aphrodite]] herself kept the Cupids supplied with a purely magical substitute with identical effects. The interchangeability of the two forms of Potions puzzled the [[Department of Philosophy]], the [[Department of Wizardry]] and the [[Department of Theology]].

When she first met the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] in the form of [[Pessimist-242]] and [[Larrikin-1029]], [[Madame Tarsa]] attempted to reverse engineer the Love Potion from the sample on the [[Cupid Arrow]] with which Larrikin had attempted to hit her. However, before she could finish brewing her first sample, Larrikin loosed another arrow ''at'' the beaker, exposing the brewing Potion to the air and causing an explosion which destroyed the sample and the rest of Tarsa's research notes on how to duplicate Cupid technology.
