Powers and Abilities
Death Angel might be some sort of demon or succubus, as Bloodwynd stated that her abilities are magical. Her main attack is to transfix her target with a mesmerising vision of a loved one.
She then closes in, manifests shadow-like fangs and drains the desires and spirit of her target until death ensues.
Death Angel was also seen hurling eldritch bolts. Thus, it is possible that she has other magic skills such as illusions-casting and mind-probing.
History
See the Cadre entry for context about the New Extremists.
Description
Death Angel is often crouched, moving in stances reminiscent of Nightcrawler’s.
Personality
Very little was apparent in the department for the New Extremists. They seem to be professional killers.
Quotes
“Such simple, pathetic desires. They will be your undoing. My first bite was just enough to make you sick. My next bite kills !”

The best defence
Most New Extremists will spend their HPs offensively, spending everything on a mix of AV and OV within the first three Phases or so.
This allowed them to credibly engage the JLA, since the League doesn’t generally spend HPs on a bunch of nobodies. But the tide turned as the New Extremists ran dry – and their more powerful opponents regrouped, started two-teaming them, shook off the Stuns, etc.

Notes
The New Extremists normally front-load their assaults. They’ll spend any Hero Points they have in the first round to raise mediocre and poor dice rolls, concentrating on the offensive but leaving little for defense. Thus, they’ll hit quite hard at first, but then run dry and be easier to mop up than you’d expect.
They also prefer offensive tactics – for instance Cloudburst normallly uses All-Out Attack, especially early in the fight.
