Reign of the Supermen #372: Lisa Jennings

Source: Superman #703-714 (2010-2011)
Type: Alternate futureYour Superman Squad member of the week is Lisa Jennings, who started life in the Grounded storyline as a "mysterious woman" stalking Superman, then graduated to a villain and finally a proud member of the Superman Squad and Superman's guide in all things Squad-related during Grounded.

Origin? Sure. She was a school teacher and some of her students found a Kryptonian sunstone in a field and brought it to her. Superman walked by on his "sad Superman walk" right at that time and she was flooded with Kryptonian memories and powers. It also linked her to Superman's mind and she visited him nightly, filling his head with doubt and depression and causing havoc wherever Superman went. He eventually caught her and brought her to Limbo where they destroyed the sunstone and freed Lisa's mind from her induced madness. She kept the powers and became one of the first members of the new Supermen of America.

And the sunstone? Its shards were spread across time, creating, among other heroes, Super-Chief, of which we've spoken before.
