Maryann Lyter

First seen in Legion of Lawndale Heroes 12.2 - The Wild and The Young, Maryann Lyter is a Cadet First Year at the United States Academy of Extranormal Studies. Assigned as a member of Training Cadre 2996 in her first year, Maryann and the other members of that cadre now refer to themselves as 'The Alliance', and have actively (but on their own time) been working together to train as a group of 'superheroes' instead on simply military assets. As a member of the Alliance, Maryann goes by the code-name 'Tempest'.

Possessing almost-identical powers to Tom Sloane (Kryptonian-level/form abilities, but she can only use one ability at a time), Maryann's major difference is that that she can see objects as 'normal' when using her 'omni-vision', and can also see persons in their 'true forms'(thus negating cloaking fields, invisibility, shapeshifting and other forms of camoflauge, even of alien or supernatural origin). Also, Maryann cannot shift from one power to another as fast as Tom can, and her 'omni-vision's energy-projection mode is more powerful than even Tom's (when using her energy-vision, she projects a white beam from her eyes, while Tom's heat-vision is blue, and Kryptonians' heat-vision is red.)

Maryann is 5'8 in height and very physically fit, with wheat-colored hair that is naturally short and curly. She is pleasant but competitive, with a penchant for going after already-attached men. She is majoring in Architechure and Civil Engineering.
