Dr. Ellie Staple

"It's amazing to meet you. It is simply extraordinary. Maybe this will all make sense if I explain who I am. My name is Dr. Ellie Staple, and I'm a psychiatrist. My work concerns a particular type of delusion of grandeur. It's a growing field. I specialize in those individuals who believe they are superheroes."

History
Dr. Ellie Staple ran a mental institution where Elijah Price aka "Mr. Glass" was held. After both David Dunn and Kevin Wendell Crumb were caught by police, they were taken there too. Staples meets with the three of them to counsel them and persuade them that there is no such thing as superhuman powers and that they simply have a mental illness that causes them to believe so. However, Elijah teams up with Kevin Wendell Crumb after getting him to unleash his most dangerous personality "The Beast" and the two escape.

Staple and squads of armed troopers go after them to kill them to prevent the world from learning the truth about superpowers. Her men capture David and drown him in a puddle while Kevin kills Elijah after learning that Elijah caused the train crash that killed his father. Kevin is later also killed by Staple’s men after his original personality resurfaces, removing the affects of the Horde.

However, Elijah had previously hacked the security cameras of the mental institution and exposes their footage to the world, revealing the existence of those with superpowers.
