A frequent enemy of Superman and Supergirl, her "Death Wail" can immediately kill anyone she knows the identity of. Edit
Siobhan McDougal was the first born child of Garrett McDougal, the patriarch of a clan of old Gaelics that resided on an island halfway between Ireland and Scotland. The clan had remained stationed there for a thousand generations. The island held the Castle Broen, the battleground for the first born McDougals to battle for the honor of leading the clan. It was a ritual as old as the clan. It was extremely important to all who reside on the island and one Siobhan only paid heed to as part of her family lore.
She left her clan at an early age to travel the world. She had grown tired of life with the clan and needed an escape. She had remained away for an extended period of time and only returned when she received news that her father had died. Upon her return, the proceedings for the next ritual were already underway. She was told by her uncle Seamus that she was not to take part. He didn't want a woman to be clan leader and had already decided her younger brother Bevan would take her role in the ritual.
Siobhan took this as an affront and decided to do the ritual herself, alone. The ritual involved calling forth supernatural forces for power. She almost succeeded but her brother Bevan inadvertently interrupted her mid-ritual to disastrous effect. The forces consumed her and drug her into the Netherworld.
In the Netherworld, an ancient being known as the "Crone" granted her power and a means to return to the land of the living as the Silver Banshee. She demanded repayment in the form of an occult book that had belonged to her father. Upon her return to her clan, she discovered her father's books were shipped off to the States to be sold. Thus her journey brought her to Metropolis. Not one to be delayed, Silver Banshee killed any and all who stood in her way of finding the book. This drew the attention of Superman, who tried to stop her. She had a leg up however as one of his weaknesses is magic. Their battle was fierce, but she was still unable to defeat Superman so she fled and left the mission to find the book for another date.
Refusing to completely abandon her quest, she returned to Metropolis twice more and faced Superman both times. Just as before, she was defeated by Superman both times. It wouldn't be until much later when Batman discovered the book among other stolen goods in Gotham City that Silver Banshee would take up her quest again. She faced off against Batman when he brought the book back to Castle Broen. She may have stood a chance agaist Batman but the Crone showed up again and dragged Silver Banshee, Bevan, and her uncle Seamus to the Netherworld.
When the River Styx was brought out of the Underworld and into the town of Leesburg, Supergirl rescued the Banshee from Satanus. This left Silver Banshee confused and she reverted to her psychotic state. She even went so far as to use Supergirl's friend Mattie as her new host and rampaged on the streets. The Mattie possessed Silver Banshee then went to General McFee who was responsible for the death of her brother during the Final Night fiasco while under the control of General Grodd. Supergirl tried to calm the Silver Banshee before she could kill McFee and it worked, seperating Mattie from the Banshee. The separation led the the temporary vanishing of the Banshee altogether.
Silver Banshee has since turned up attempting to collect the billion dollar bounty Lex Luthor placed on Superman's head. Once again she lost in her battle with Superman. She then joined the Secret Society led by Alexander Luthor. She was one of the members who turned on Black Adam when he was needed for a machine Luthor was building. She then took part in the Battle of Metropolis. Most recently, she has become a nemesis for Supergirl.
