Description

:icondonotuseplz::iconmyartplz:

 

Siobhan McDougal (pronounced "shee-van") was the first-born child of Garrett McDougal, the patriarch of an old Gaelic clan that has occupied an island midway between Scotland and Ireland for a thousand generations. Located on that island is Castle Broen, which is where first-born McDougal’s undergo a mystic ritual to prove they were worthy to lead the clan.

 As a young girl Siobhan left the island to travel the world but returned to Castle Broen after hearing of her father's death assuming she would undertake the ritual to lead the clan being the oldest child. Siobhan’s uncle Seamus determined that no woman would lead the clan and intended her brother Bevan to become the new patriarch.

 Enraged by this Siobhan argued it was the oldest child not the oldest male child that should lead the clan but she was rebuked by Seamus and Bevan. Determined to prove she could lead the clan Siobhan went ahead with the family ritual by herself but when she was distracted by Bevan who happened upon Siobhan at a critical moment in the ceremony she was dragged screaming into the netherworld.

 A powerful denizen of the netherworld called the Crone found Siobhan and made a deal with her If Siobhan would retrieve an occult book from her father’s book collection the Crone would send Siobhan back to Earth with enough power to lead her clan unopposed. Eagerly agreeing to the terms the Crone cursed the young girl granted Siobhan magic based powers transforming her into the ghostly hate and revenge driven Silver Banshee and returned her to Earth.  

 After returning to Earth the Silver Banshee discovered that her father's book collection had been shipped off for sale in the United States. Determined to find the book the Silver Banshee’s quest brought her to Metropolis where she callously killed anyone she felt stood in her way of finding the book.

  Superman who was still early in his career and overconfident in his abilities confronted Silver Banshee believing that her touch was how she killed victims and he believed his invulnerability would save him. To his shock Superman realized too late it was not her touch but her magic powered voice that was lethal and she knocked Superman into a deep coma. The Silver Banshee continued her search while everyone including her thought Superman was dead.

 The Martian Manhunter used his telepathic powers to learn that Silver Banshee's powers were tied to visual cuing as well as knowing the true names of her victims. Martian Manhunter then telepathically conversed with Superman and the two formulated a plan. Superman allowed everyone to think he had died and had J'onn assume the shape of his "ghost" who then confronted Silver Banshee. Convinced that she was fighting Superman's ghost, the Banshee could not harm the Martian due to him resembling someone she had already killed and not knowing his true name fled in terror.

 The Martian Manhunter then telepathically “jumpstarted” Superman’s mind awakening him from his coma.

 Silver Banshee returned to Metropolis twice more searching for the book, but was defeated and driven off by Superman both times.

 Discovering the book Silver Banshee was looking for, Batman gave it to Superman. Meanwhile Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen had gone to Ireland tracing Silver Banshee’s origins to Castle Broen where they were captured by Beven and his uncle Seamus. Superman with the book in his possession flew towards Ireland and was attacked by the Silver Banshee, her powers greatly augmented, attacked him en route, demanding the book but Superman managed to escape and continue towards Ireland with the Silver Banshee in pursuit.

  Superman arrived at the chamber beneath the castle with the book Seamus revealed to everyone present the origins of the Clan and their ritual as well as Silver Banshee’s origin. The crone then appeared and wanted to see if the clan had evolved, but seeing that Siobhan had murdered anyone that had crossed her path to get to the book she desired the Crone was outraged and condemned her to hell. The Crone then destroyed the castle as Superman escaped with Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane.

 The Silver Banshee was then approached by the demoness called Blaze in Hell who offered to release Silver Banshee and let her get revenge on the Crone in exchange for murdering Superman. Silver Banshee agreed and her powers were augmented before being released from Hell. Despite her increased powers Silver Banshee failed was stripped of her powers and pulled back to Hell.

 Since then the Silver Banshee has escaped Hell repowered and has sought revenge on Superman and his cousin Supergirl several times.
