Publication history

Fictional character biography

Genocide's creation as depicted in DC Universe #0 (June 2008).

At some point in the future, Ares steals the dead body of Wonder Woman.[2] He travels back in time and manipulates Barbara Minerva and T. O. Morrow into collecting soil samples from sites of genocide worldwide to resurrect Wonder Woman's corpse as an evil golem. Morrow believes that Genocide is too unstable to be let loose and begs Minerva to terminate the project, but is ignored.[3][4][5]

While battling the Justice League, Genocide steals the Lasso of Truth, destroys the Department of Metahuman Affairs building, and tortures Etta Candy, leaving her comatose.[6][7]

After Wonder Woman defeats Genocide, Ares transfers her soul into a clay figure and gives it to the rogue Amazon Alkyone.[8] When Alkyone becomes the queen of Themyscira, she has Genocide's spirit possess her and several other Amazons.[9][10]

In "DC Rebirth", Genocide is a golem of unknown origin who was previously buried on the island of the Gargareans in the Tyrrhenian Sea. In the present, Paula von Gunther finds and revives Genocide, binding her to her will.[11][12]

Powers and abilities

The full extent of Genocide's abilities has yet to be revealed. Genocide has superhuman strength, durability and speed. She also has the ability to teleport. Genocide can project anger, fear, and despair to weaken her enemies. Using the Lasso of Truth, Genocide can generate psychic energy blasts that disrupt the minds of others.[13]
