Origin
Tuppence Terror is the fraternal twin sister of
Tommy Terror; she is three minutes younger than her brother. She currently lives in
Central City, and was presumably raised there, though she and her brother speak with a heavy Southern accent that may suggest they originated elsewhere in the
state or the country.
Creation
Tuppence Terror was created by
Greg Weisman,
Kevin Hopps and
Mike Norton. She was created to tie into the
Young Justice animated show.
Major Story Arcs
Young Justice
Tuppence and her brother visit the Central City Mall, and decide to rob a jeweller's, Gemini Gems. They are confronted by
Superboy and
Kid Flash, and proceed to fight the young heroes. Tuppence and her brother hold their own against the heroes until their fight moves outside. There, she and her brother are frightened by the arrival of
Superman and the
Martian Manhunter. The twins flee, and are pursued by Superman.
Powers and Abilities
Tuppence possesses superhuman strength and endurance. Her strength enables her to jump to great heights and over great distances. Her powers are of unknown provenance, but are presumably inherent
metahuman abilities.
In Other Media
Young Justice
Tuppence appears in the
Young Justice episode "Terrors". In the episode, she and her brother are defeated fairly early in the episode by Superman and Martian Manhunter following a three-state rampage that culminates in
New Orleans' French Quarter. Tuppence is impersonated by
Miss Martian, who uses Tuppence's image to infiltrate
Belle Reve. Her character design was redesigned for the show proper; in the show, unlike in the comic, Tuppence has long hair that she wears in a ponytail. Also, her eyes, which are green in the comic, are blue on the show. She does not speak in her appearance.
