Gypsy

Street Urchin Stealth…

Born Cindy Reynolds, the runaway known as Gypsy did not so much join the Justice League as she infiltrated it.  Frequently breaking into the JLA Detroit Bunker despite the JLA’s best security systems, Gypsy made herself useful on a few missions, often stepping in at the last moment and saving the JLA Detroit’s bacon.

At first appearing as a girl who blends into the background, Gypsy then began to manifest some strong mental illusion ability which would help explain her growing friendship/mentorship with Martian Manhunter.  Gypsy stayed with the Justice League until the Detroit League was dissolved by the events in the Legends miniseries, though she would return often when you least expected it.

Powers

Chameleon - Gypsy did not turn invisible, but would rather blend in with the background selectively.  This still made her extremely difficult to see before she wanted to be seen.

Mental Illusions - Gypsy was able to manifest intense personal illusions in others when she concentrated fully.  Early in her career, this power took quite a toll on her, but eventually she was able to harness it to greater and subtler effect.

Vulnerabilities

Gypsy is a normal human being with no special defenses except for being very difficult to detect.

Skills

Infiltration/Stealth - Gypsy excelled at being able to get in where she was not wanted.

Thief - Gypsy was able to use sleight of hand and other street tricks to be able to acquire items for survival.
