Fatality is a fictional character, a supervillain in the DC Comics universe.
The eldest child of the planet Xanshi's ruling family, the girl who would one day call herself Fatality was sent off-world to be educated by the fabled Warlords of Okaara. Xanshi is destroyed due to a miscalculation by Green Lantern John Stewart (in Cosmic Odyssey); he is unable to stop a bomb colored yellow, the Green Lantern's only weakness at the time. Fatallity becomes her world's sole survivor. Learning of Xanshi's fate, and that a Green Lantern was responsible, she leaves Okaara and dedicates herself to becoming the deadliest warrior in all the universe. Remaining ignorant of Stewart's identity, she swears vengeance on all Green Lanterns. Former Green Laterns are acceptable targets. Fatallity accumulates many kills and trophies.
When the Green Lantern Corps is rendered powerless, Fatality views the last Green Lantern, Kyle Rayner, as her ultimate prize. Their conflict takes them from Earth to a desolate planetoid, where during combat she discovers Stewart was to blame for Xanshi's destruction. Fatality seemingly perishes in the battle, though no body (save a severed arm) is recovered.
Fatality later appears on Earth, having acquired a prosthetic arm and a Qwardian yellow power ring. She again fights Kyle Rayner, who convinces her to remove the yellow ring. The Qwardians had booby trapped the ring, causing it to explosively teleport away after being removed. This destroys Fatality's (remaining) arm.
After being imprisoned on Earth for a while, she is released by the villain Major Force. She has since been seen working as a bounty hunter in the Vega System in the 2005 miniseries Green Lantern Corps: Recharge.
She became a member of the earth-based Secret Society of Super Villains. While in battle she loses an ear to Vandal Savage's daughter, Scandal.
Most recently, she is seen among the new Injustice League.
- In her card in Vs. System's "Infinite Crisis" set, Fatality's subtitle is "Flawless Victory", and the quote on said card is "Finish Him!", both references to the video game series Mortal Kombat.
