Thursday was a scientist who grafts an organic computer to her head composed of malleable plastic that can assume any form she wills it to. She ran for President of the United States, but is forced to drop out by the superhero team known as the Defenders. She later indirectly causes the death of Omega the Unknown when he was considered by police to be assaulting her in her car. The police were unaware of her previous actions, including killing people with a large purple creature called Dibbuk (named after, but unrelated to a dybbuk).
