Publication history


Halo first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #200 (July 1983), and was created by writer Mike W. Barr and artist Jim Aparo. Her powers are partially inspired by the Rainbow Beast, a minor enemy of Batman.




Fictional character biography


Halo is a gestalt of a human woman named Violet Harper and an Aurakle, an ancient energy being who originates from the Source. After Violet is murdered by Syonide, an operative of the 100 and Tobias Whale, the Aurakle resurrects, possesses, and empowers her.
Following this, Violet joins the Outsiders as Halo. She participates in the Infinite Crisis, World War III, and Blackest Night events, with the latter revealing her abilities to be effective against Black Lanterns.
In Batman Inc., Halo joins a new team of Outsiders led by Red Robin. The Outsiders are presumed dead in an explosion, but eventually resurface. However, they are declared legally dead, a status which they exploit to perform covert missions.




Powers and abilities


Halo can fly and create auras of the seven rainbow colors, called halos, which have different effects. She can heal and resurrect herself and generate light, fire, holograms, and stasis beams.




Other versions


An alternate universe variant of Halo appears in JLA: Another Nail.
