Personality

Catalyst Lass is friendly and outgoing. She's somewhat ditzy, but often consciously exaggerates it so that others will underestimate her. She's a romantic at heart and a mild flirt, but isn't sure how she feels about being in a relationship herself. She enjoys organizing "projects" and motivating others to help out. She's good at staying level-headed in bizarre situations, and has definite leadership abilities.

Powers and Abilities

The psionic power to cause others to share her interests.

Appearance

Light blue high-collared tights with jigsaw-puzzle logo. Has curly brown hair.

History

Catalyst Lass has been a member of the LNH since at least the Cosmic Plot Device Caper, but she really stepped into the spotlight when she temporarily became leader of the LNH during Looniverse Adrift!. She lead a successful campaign against Lord Ebon, holding off all foes and, despite all odds, getting the Looniverse back to alt.comics.lnh. Afterwards, she organized the Valentine's Ball as a way for the LNH to relax, enjoy themselves, and engage in some spicy romance.

At some point in 1992, she inadvertently "catalyzed" Revamp Lass of the Brotherhood of Net.Villains into a copy of herself. This was only revealed in 1995, during a confrontation against Revampirella, Queen of the Revampires, after which the former Revamp Lass became Hell Catalyst. There's no way to tell which Catalyst Lass was which before that point; any of the above events she was involved in could have actually been Hell Catalyst.

At another point, her powers were "boosted" by one of the Webs. She entered Particle Man's mind in order to help him with angst and personal problems. For a while after, they had a growing attraction and the beginnings of a relationship, but it never fully materialized, due to miscommunication, drifting apart, and the writers who shipped them no longer writing for the LNH.

She became one of the leaders of the LNH again during Beige Countdown. However, she was being mentally controlled by Mr. Tiddles, making her into a pawn of the HexFire Club— or so it seemed. In fact, Doctor Stomper had given her a device that neutralized Tiddles's powers, and along with Hell Catalyst, she counter-infiltrated the HexFire Club, leading to their downfall in Beige Midnight.

In Just Another Multi-Writer Cascade That Will Probably Never Have an Ending, she was at the front line of the struggle against LAN.os and the Crossover Queen. When the Omnilooniverse was destroyed due to an excess of unfinished stories, she catalyzed it back to life. This gave her a brief flash of cosmic awareness, and she came back remembering three things about the future of the LNH. One was that she had to give the Kubrik's Kube to Merissa, which catalyzed her into a hero and led to her joining the LNH. The other two remain unknown.

Relationships

Has been romantically involved with Particle Man. She also demonstrated an odd interest in Invisible Incendiary (unless that was Hell Catalyst). Token Girl is one of her closest friends. She's become a sort of mentor to Merissa, helping her integrate into the LNH.

Appearances

Note that any of Cat's appearances from before Catalytic Conversions could have actually been Hell Catalyst.
