Mystek is a fictional character in the DC Comics universe. Created by Christopher Priest and Manny Clark in the Ray (vol. 2) #12 (May 1995) and died in Justice League Task Force #32 (February 1996).
Fictional character biography
Very little information has been revealed about Mystek's life prior to her first confrontation with the Ray. Seong is a Korean woman born in Queens, New York who prefers to be called 'Barclay'. During an undisclosed incident in Seoul, she developed claustrophobia.
Mystek comes into conflict with the Ray, who she believes to be an enemy. Martian Manhunter recruits her into the Justice League, but she is killed soon afterward when her claustrophobia causes her to leave the League's ship and suffocate in space.
Powers and abilities
Mystek could manipulate energy at a subatomic level, using quarks to form high-tolerance elastic, proactive matter. This hybridized state of matter was not pure energy, and therefore could pass harmlessly through an immaterial foe. She could use any electronic device as a window for this matter, allowing her a range of abilities, including flight. She was also able to use this matter offensively, in the form of energy blasts, and to read magnetic signatures.
