History

Rebellious runaway Courtney Mason acquired miraculous powers following an attack by parasitic aliens. Seven extraterrestrial predators had come to Earth and slaughtered thousands of humans by feeding on their spinal fluids. On the run in New Orleans, Courtney was kidnapped by a cult that sacrificed her to two of these insatiable parasites, knows as Pritor and Lissik. But Courtney did not die. Instead, the parasites' bites unleashed the Animus, a creature within Courtney that could absorb the spirit essences of the living and the dead. She became the embodiment of mankind's rage and masculine drive. As Anima, Courtney sought revenge against the cult. She also met the Teen Titans and battled a variety of supernatural menaces. Anima remained a wanderer, traveling from place to place and helping those in need by calling upon the fearsome force inside her.
She was later killed by Prometheus for getting in his way.
