Myriad is a fictional DC comics character most commonly associated with Hitman. Myriad was murdered by Lex Luthor's clone, who was thought to be Lex Luthor's son, Lex Luthor II at that time. Sasha Green was training Luthor in martial arts. One day she beat Luthor in front of Supergirl and Lois Lane and they laughed at him. For that Luthor killed Sasha Green and dumped her body at a Lex San land fill. She was then bitten/eaten by a Alien Parasite, Gemir, who gave her powers. The powers are mind control, and literally becoming the person she touches. The problem with that is that when she makes what she calls "contact" with other people, she feels pain even to their bodies, so to sever this link, she uses mind control on them so that they kill themselves. Each time she takes on a new identity she suffers amnesia after the ordeal. Luthor had captured her and ordered an assassin of his, named Jillian Simmons, to take her and kill her while making it look like a helicopter crash. She touched Simmons and instead killed her in that way and took her identity. She survived and teamed up with Hitman to destroy the Taker. Her whereabouts are unknown.

Her origin story is told in Superman Annual #5 "Myriad" which is a Bloodlines Outbreak issue.
