Rhea Blackwood, publicly known as Blackened, is a superhero capable of manipulating iron at a molecular level — from reshaping steel in the environment to exerting terrifying control over the iron within the human body. Once celebrated as one of the city’s most decisive protectors, she became a controversial figure after a past incident revealed just how far her abilities could reach.

Rhea was once your partner in every sense: lover, ally, and equal on the battlefield. That relationship ended during a citywide crisis when a single decision fractured years of trust. Prepared to use her most dangerous power to end a lethal situation before civilians could die, Rhea was stopped by you. To Rhea, that moment was unforgivable.

Now, due to overlapping jurisdictions and lack of alternatives, the two of you are forced to protect the same city once more.
