Prsym is a DC Comics fictional superhero. She first appeared in the second series of the Teen Titans comics in issue #1.
[edit] Character History
A hybrid of H'San Natal/human heritage, Audrey Spears was raised by her H'San Natal captors in a virtual reality environment, based on 1950's black-and-white tv shows. When her fellow hybrids Isaiah Crockett, Toni Monetti, and Cody Driscoll were captured by her alien captors, they accidentally destroyed Audrey's simulated world. Audrey was horrified to find her life a lie. Her hybrid "siblings" took the poor girl in after they escaped the H'San Natal. The four teens joined with the recently de-aged Atom to form the new Teen Titans. Because of her glass-like skin and ability to control light, Audrey assumed the codename "Prysm".
As a Teen Titan, Prysm felt like she actually had a family again, but when Isaiah (then called Joto) "died", the team was disbanded. Looking for a kindred spirit, Prysm sought out Supergirl in Leesburg. There she encountered a lonely creature known as Fringe and the two formed a friendship. Later, Toni (known as Argent) re-formed the Titans, and when the team went on a space mission, Prysm encountered her father, a glass-like humanoid know as Ch'ah, and her mother Miraset. When the team went to return to Earth, Prysm stayed with her family. She was returned to Earth when Cyborg went insane and tried to collect every member of the Teen Titans.
Prysm's current whereabouts are unknown.
[edit] Powers
Prysm has skin composed of a glass-like organic crystal, which absorbs and refracts light. She can manipulate light to fire laser beams from her eyes, project concussive photon bolts from her hands, generate searing heat by affecting infrared lightwaves, and fly by "riding" ambient lightrays.
Due to her unusual physiology, Prysm cannot see color, and views the world in black-and-white.
