Looker is a comic book character that first appeared in Batman and the Outsiders #28Looker is a former member of the original Outsiders, named for her drop dead looks. She possesses powerful psionic and vampire abilities.
Origin
Growing up with a massive inferiority complex due to her plain appearance, Emily Briggs always longed to be beautiful. One day she was kidnapped by emissaries from the underground civilization of Abyssia. They told Emily she was actually the next in line for the throne of their nation through her paternal grandfather, who fled Abyssia decades ago for the surface world. Taken against her will to Abyssia, Emily learned that, by exposure to the rays of a fragment of Halley's Comet that fell over two thousand years ago, she would gain not only formidable powers, but incredible beauty, as well.
Transformed by the fragment, Emily became the pawn of two warring factions in a plot to wipe out the entire population of Earth's surface, and was saved by the intervention of the Batman and the Outsiders. To her delight, she found her transformation was permanent, and returned to her husband, calling herself Lia, a childhood nickname that she believed to be more suited to her new self. She eventually joined the Outsiders as an active member, choosing Looker as her nom du guerre.
Looker shared a short relationship with her teammate Geo-Force but ended the affair to be with her husband Gregg. After a return to Abyssia, Looker lost her mental abilities and enhanced beauty. With no powers Emily soon returned to Gotham City with her husband. Years later, Emily and her husband were visiting Markovia, which was under attack by vampires. Emily was about to be killed by a vampire when her psionic abilities kicked back in, allowing her to kill the vampire. With her psionic abilities returned Looker joined her former teammate in battling the vampire invasion. During the Outsider's battle, Looker was killed and transformed into a vampire by Roderick, the leader of the vampire invasion. Roderick took Looker and made her his queen. Sometime afterward Looker battles her former teammates and after being reminded of her husband, she used a time window to kill Roderick. Sadly after her ordeal, Looker was soon served divorce papers by her husband Gregg.
Apparently, Looker was seen killed trying to save Metropolis from an explosion cause by Breach, but given that she was already dead, the likelihood that she might still be alive is very high. In the Infinite Crisis story arc, she made several minor appearances, such as when all the magic heroes came together. She made a somewhat big appearance when all flying heroes took to the skies and other heroes were telling her to 'look out Looker' because Breach (Earth 8 Captain Atom) was about to explode. She was caught up in the explosion and nothing more was shown about her for some time.
However Looker would later come back somehow, not to Batman's surprise. Batman took a man who didn't know what happened to him in a park. Here Looker formed and read the man's mind to find out his mind was switched with an alien's consciousness. She didn't feel well after reading the mans mind and the man died after it. Batman took her to her house. Looker then told Batman that something bad is going down in Gotham and that even those she hangs out with are not into the soon to come events.
Powers and Abilities
Looker's power are psionic in nature, and are manifested by a blue glow around her eyes. Her abilities include telepathy which allows her to read minds, communicate mentally with others over long distances, stun the minds of others with "mental bolts," control the minds of others, and create illusions in the minds of others. She also possesses telekinesis which she use for levitation and the construction of psionic force shields which have a high degree of imperviousness. The effectiveness of her power depends on her physical condition, distance to be traveled and other consideration.
Looker has been cursed with vampirism and is seemingly immortal, supernaturally strong and quick. She can transform herself into a mist and take mental control over vermin. She has craving for fresh blood and can grow fang-like teeth. Her psionic abilities give her certain immunity to things that would traditional kill vampires. Unlike other vampires, Looker can withstand daylight and has used her telekinetic abilities to quickly repair her heart after it was stabbed with a wooden stake. Looker relies on her psionic powers in battle and eschews from hand-to-hand combat, despite constant cajoling from her friend Katana.
