Biography
Origin
Kole Weathers
Kole Weathers stepped out from the crystalline exterior walls surrounding a mountain fortress on Mount Olympus to confront Wonder Girl, Starfire, and Azrael, who were advancing to liberate the imprisoned Amazons from the mad Titaness Thia. Upon emerging, Kole Weathers immediately phased through the structural crystal layers and explicitly declared that she had spun the massive crystal barriers herself. Before Wonder Girl could take tactical action to smash through the prison gates, Kole Weathers swiftly targeted her, unleashing a wave of energy that completely encased Wonder Girl in solid, translucent silicon crystal. While Hyperion scrambled to catch the crystallized heroine, Starfire launched an immediate counter-attack, blasting Kole Weathers to disrupt her momentum. Defending her actions, Kole Weathers made it completely clear to the group that she was acting entirely under duress, having been kidnapped and forced to serve Thia's bidding for two years to contain important divine prisoners. The physical encounter ended when Cyborg utilized his sonic cannon to shatter the crystal encasing Wonder Girl, allowing Wonder Girl to forcefully capture Kole Weathers and proceed to smash the rest of the surrounding fortress walls, ultimately liberating the captured Amazons. (New Teen Titans v2 #9) Overwhelmed and crying about her two-year isolation from her family, Kole Weathers joined the team at a New York City restaurant, where she subtly utilized her crystalline abilities to reinforce a damaged chair leg for Cyborg. During the meal, she explained to the heroes that her scientist parents had previously worked for Dayton Industries to develop Promethium, which they ultimately used to graft onto her body to grant her special abilities. Joseph Wilson, operating under the alias Jericho, offered to help her relocate her family, and the two traveled by car the following day to her parents' new country home in upstate New York. Upon arriving at the secluded property, Kole Weathers' father, Professor Abel Weathers, aggressively confronted them at the front entrance and tried to forcefully drive them away. Jericho immediately possessed the professor's body to force him to grant them passage inside, leading Kole Weathers directly into a hidden subterranean laboratory facility. Once inside the chamber, Kole Weathers and Jericho were unexpectedly ambushed by a horrifying swarm of insectoid and crystalline mutant monstrosities that her father had manufactured from ordinary human test subjects, forcing the terrified pair to break their forward tracking and execute a full retreat back to New York City. (New Teen Titans v2 #10)
She initiated an emergency reconnaissance deployment alongside Jericho to infiltrate her father's secluded mountain estate, seeking to resolve her complex family baggage. Relying on her unique silicon molecular structuring, the pink-haired metahuman spun a defensive crystal shield to navigate the compound's perimeter safeguards. The family reunion dissolved into a biological horror exhibition when they discovered that her father, Professor Abel Weathers, had aggressively escalated his forced-evolution parameters, mutating her mother and an entire captive lab staff into grotesque, mindless insect hybrids. Trapped within the quarantine zone, Kole was forced into a high-friction survival scenario when her father attempted to forcefully seize her as his ultimate genetic test subject. Working in tandem with Jericho’s tactical vocalization and a freshly arrived Teen Titans vanguard, she weaponised her crystal structures to resist the swarm. The skirmish triggered a catastrophic infrastructure failure, culminating in a localized explosion that leveled the compound. Emerging from the fallout as a displaced survivor without a civilian anchor, Kole officially accepted the team's operational sanctuary, leaving the ruins behind to relocate to New York City. (New Teen Titans v2 #11) Weathers initiated her structural transition into a permanent resident inside the high-tech sanctuary of Titans Tower in New York City, attempting to anchor her fragile emotional state after her family's complete devastation. Still processing the horror of her father’s forced-evolution array, the displaced metahuman relied on the supportive parameters of Jericho to navigate the dense domestic friction of the multi-level headquarters. Her adaptation protocol was abruptly disrupted by a bizarre logistical anomaly within the compound when a mysterious, intangible child inexplicably phased into the living quarters and recited a haunting riddle before vanishing without a trace. While Nightwing and the senior Teen Titans vanguard deployed into an emergency forensic tracking grid to solve what evolved into a multi-decade murder mystery, Kole remained embedded within the secure perimeter. Working to master her silicon molecular mastery, she weaponised her crystal structuring during defensive training loops, fighting to establish a reliable baseline of operational readiness as she officially claimed her position within the team's shifting roster. (New Teen Titans v2 #12)
Back on Earth, Kole tried to reunite with her parents, only to find that her father's experiments had produced a house full of crystalline and insectoid monstrosities. When the Titans came to confront him, he had them captured and attempted to subject them to the same experimentantion. Kole helped them to escape, and in the ensuing conflict, Abel and his wife Marilyn transformed themselves into insects before caused the lab to self-destruct. Having nowhere else to go, Kole chose to follow the Titans to New York City, though she never officially joined.

Overview
Personality and attributes
In appearance, Kole Weathers was a short, slender female humanoid of the human race. She had fair skin, large dark eyes, and a highly distinct head of short, layered pink hair that was styled with a voluminous crown, featuring a subtle, decorative crystalline gem affixed directly onto the center of her forehead. Her facial features were youthful, light, and expressive, showing visible distress during conflict. She wore a specialized, sleeveless lavender form-fitting bodysuit with a low-cut sweetheart neckline and an open-back design. The shoulder traps of her uniform and her long, matching fingerless opera-length evening gloves were styled with distinct geometric crystal-like facets to structurally reinforce the theme of her elemental powers. Her lower lower legs were enclosed in matching knee-high lavender boots that featured clean seams, and her uniform lacked any heavy armor plating, standard superhero capes, or high-tech military hardware. (New Teen Titans v2 #9)
Powers and abilities
Kole Weathers was born a member of the human race where she was subsequently transformed into a modified superhuman through forced evolution experiments conducted by her father, Professor Abel Weathers, who grafted her cellular structure with Promethium. This biological alteration process granted her the highly exceptional capacity to voluntarily create, shape, and manifest silicon crystals using her own physical movements. By spinning or channeling her internal energy, she possessed the unique power to cast dense crystalline layers that could instantly freeze, trap, and immobilize elite, high-durability targets like Amazons and demigods without causing permanent physical injury to their internal organs. Kole Weathers possessed the versatile skill to phase cleanly through solid silicon structures without sustaining physical harm, and she supplemented her natural matter-spinning capabilities with independent, low-level flight and hovering properties to easily traverse complex vertical terrains during active operations. (New Teen Titans v2 #9)
Kole was a human whose father Abel gave the ability to create and manipulate crystal to protect her from a potential nuclear holocaust.
Kole could fly and generate crystal, which she can shape into various constructs. Kole had the power to "spin" crystal, which was used to create silicon crystal into independent masses. Anything from a crystal sculpture to a safety slide. She was known to encase people in crystal, effectively immobilizing them. It was not clear what happened to the crystal she spun, whether it just eventually disappeared or remained in existence was never established.
Notes
- Kole was created by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman where she made her first appearance in New Teen Titans v2 #9 (June, 1985).
