[edit] Fictional character biography

Formerly an exotic dancer, Dansen Macabre was a devoted worshipper of the Goddess Shiva. She had the mystical ability to hypnotize or kill anyone who witnesses her dancing. She used this power to hypnotize Spider-Man into battling The Shroud in attempt to kill both of them. The pair managed to overcome her dances and defeat her. She briefly appeared later as a captive of Locksmith, but was saved by Spider-Woman. Eventually, The Shroud invited her to join the Night Shift, which she accepted and became co-leader. She served in several missions, mainly going up against the Avengers. She took some time out to work with Superia and the Femizons as they battled Captain America.
