PERSONAL DATA
Alter Ego: Unknown Occupation: N/A Base of Operations: N/A Marital Status: Single Known Relatives: Unknown Group Affiliation: N/A Height: N/A Weight: N/A Eyes: Blue Hair: Dirty Blond HISTORY Nothing is known of the life of the girl know only as Secret before she became a ward of the D.E.O. (Department of Extranormal Operations). Here she was kept in an airtight room, so that the D.E.O. could observe her as her meta-human powers grew. As she grew older and more confident in her powers she discovered that she could leave her room in her gas form. Leaving her cell at night she could travel the facility undetected, and she soon found out that there were dozens of other “subjects” like her, that, the D.E.O., were performing cruel, and torturous test on. |

When the doctors discovered what she knew the decision was reached that she be terminated. Secret managed to escape the compound, and hide from her captors in a neighboring town. It didn’t take long before the D.E.O., discovered her whereabouts, and set out to evacuate the town. This brought the attention of Robin, Superboy, and Impulse who decided to investigate. When the boys managed to capture Secret, she pleaded with them to let her go. Suspicious of the D.E.O.’s motives the boys decided to free her, and help in faking her death. Secret now roams the world enjoying her freedom, while the boys keep her existence, a secret.
POWERS AND WEAPONS
Secret is a meta-human who developed the ability to turn her body into a gaseous form. However, as she grew older her meta-human powers became stronger and stronger, and now it seems that she can no longer assume a non-gaseous form. In her gaseous state Secret can transform her body into any shape that she wishes. Whether or not she can alter the toxicity of her gaseous state as Doctor Charles of the D.E.O. told Superboy, Robin, and Impulse remains to be seen.Secret has also been seen to change her size, become partially invisible, and even to appear to teleport short distances, something that has been designated “smoke-jumping”. In the incident with the psychic being Despero, there were reports of an alternative personality briefly demonstrated by Secret. Further reports will be required to confirm this. |

The STARNET Metahuman Information Database serves as a comprehensive repository for cataloging and analyzing individuals with extraordinary abilities across the globe. This extensive archive documents the origins, power classifications, and known activities of metahumans encountered by various agency and team networks. Researchers and authorized personnel rely on this database to cross-reference threat levels, identify emerging patterns in metahuman development, and maintain situational awareness. The system organizes data by operational theaters, allowing for rapid retrieval of critical intelligence when responding to incidents involving superhuman entities. Each profile undergoes continuous updates as new information becomes available from field agents and allied organizations.
Metahuman abilities manifest through a variety of mechanisms, including genetic mutations, exposure to exotic energies, technological augmentation, and mystical influences. The database categorizes powers according to standardized classification systems that account for origin source, effect type, range, duration, and potential for escalation. Understanding these classifications helps response teams prepare appropriate countermeasures and containment protocols. The system tracks power development over time, noting fluctuations in capability or the emergence of secondary abilities. This longitudinal data proves invaluable for predicting how a given metahuman's powers might evolve and what environmental or emotional triggers may affect their stability.
Security protocols surrounding the STARNET database are multilayered, ensuring that sensitive information about metahuman identities, weaknesses, and locations remains protected from unauthorized access. Access tiers are assigned based on clearance level, operational need, and organizational affiliation. The system maintains detailed audit logs tracking every query made against the database, creating accountability for information retrieval. Encrypted transmission channels protect data moving between field units and central servers. Regular security audits and penetration testing help identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by hostile entities seeking to weaponize the stored intelligence against metahuman populations.
The database includes extensive psychological profiles that complement the purely physical and power-based data entries. Understanding a metahuman's temperament, motivations, trauma history, and behavioral patterns is essential for predicting their actions during crisis situations. Profiles incorporate observations from trained behavioral analysts who study interaction patterns and stress responses. This holistic approach recognizes that the most dangerous threats often arise not from raw power alone, but from the combination of ability with unstable psychological states. Intervention strategies developed from these profiles aim to de-escalate conflicts before they require overwhelming force, prioritizing peaceful resolution where possible.
Collaboration between international agencies has expanded the database's reach beyond domestic borders, creating a shared resource for tracking metahuman activity worldwide. Information sharing agreements allow partner organizations to contribute data while maintaining their own operational security requirements. The database supports multiple language interfaces and regional classification standards, harmonizing disparate reporting formats into a unified analytical framework. Cross-referencing capabilities enable analysts to identify connections between seemingly unrelated incidents across different jurisdictions. This global perspective has proven crucial for recognizing coordinated threats and understanding the transnational nature of modern metahuman challenges.
