Blacksmith

The mysterious Blacksmith managed to stay unnoticed by the superhero community, police, and general populace of Keystone City for years, despite operating in the area the entire time. In particular, she ran “the Network,” a high-end black market for supervillains, for the last 15 years, using connections to move contraband to or from anywhere in the world. After a brief marriage to Goldface, she stole a sample of his gold elixir, altering it so that it gave her the power to merge flesh and metal.

Blacksmith planned for years to control Central and Keystone Cities, finally forming the New Rogues...only to see her plans come tumbling down against the Flash and the allies she thought had been neutralized. One bright spot for her, though, is that during this campaign the elixir finally transformed her skin into an ebony metal-flesh compound.
