Comitas (birth name unknown), also known as Famine, is an Earth-0 Meta-Human, she is believed to be the last surviving member of The Virtues, and one of Anomaly's Four Horsemen.

Summary

Very little is known about the individual known as Comitas before she joined the Virtues, but it can be assumed that she was seeking religious escape from whatever life she led before joining the group. As was standard for the group, Comitas was "reborn" and granted a new name marking her membership, with her selected name, Comitas, representing the virtue of humour due to her outgoing nature.

A fairly prominent member of the group, Comitas was never consider to be one of the leaders of the group, nor was she one of the group's most outward facing members. Despite this, however, those within the group consider her one of the hearts of it, with her penchant for light-hearted humour raising their spirits in tough times.

Little is known about the fall of the Virtues, but whatever occured, Comitas was the only known survivor of the incident, becoming a wanderer after the group's fall, seemingly deprived of any meaning.

After the fall of the Virtues, Comitas was left directionless and alone, making her an easy target for MHA recruitment. For unknown reasons, Anomaly himself took an interest to her, and recruited her to his Four Horsemen, granting her the seat of Famine. As one of the Horsemen, Famine sits outside of the regular MHA hierarchy, and as such is rarely involved in MHA operations around the globe, instead preferring to make her own amusement elsewhere. In terms of physical strength, Famine is considered the weakest of the Horsemen, and is rarely deployed for combat operations.

During the MHA's attack on the MRD, Famine was not deployed to Sanctuary City alongside the other Horsemen, instead being deployed to The White House, where she attacked the President and his security detail, taking something from him with her abilities.

Powers & Abilities

• Thievery: Comitas possesses the Meta-Human ability to "steal" attributes from others, provided their defences aren't too great for this. This includes physical traits, such as the physical strength of an individual, and more conceptual traits, such as their name and identity. While Comitas has "stolen" the trait, the original person is incapable of using it. Any "trait" that Comitas has stolen will permanently remain in her "possession", unless she either returns it or the original possessor of that trait takes it back through whatever means possible.
• Feline Physiology
  • Comitas possesses feline traits, including cat's ears, cat's eyes, a tail, and claws, granting her advanced agility and hearing among other things.
• Mortar Physiology: After joining the MHA, Comitas was granted a multitude of powers so she could serve as Famine through the same process used to make the organisation's Mortar soldiers. Due to the knowledge gained from creating Conquest, she did not experience the typical transformation associated with this process, making her a stable Mortar. Powers granted to her as part of this process include:
  • Resurrection: As with all of the Horsemen, Comitas is immortal so long as Anomaly exists, and will return from any form of death so long as it is inflicted by a being that is not capable of overriding Anomaly's authority.
  • Illusion Manipulation: Comitas is capable of creating perfect illusions of any scale that fool all the typical senses of those around her, as these illusions increase in scale, however, they require more maintenance from Comitas personally, and as such she typically prefers smaller-scale illusions.
  • Suggestion: Comitas is capable of implanting telepathic suggestions through her words, making individuals who hear her subtly believe lies that she tells them. The lies told by this ability require more effort the more unbelievable they are to the individual, and can be blocked through standard psionic defences.
