Psi is a minor antagonist in the DC Comics universe. She is a powerful psychic metahuman who has been both an enemy and an ally of of Supergirl, as well as a member of the Suicide Squad. Her Post-Flashpoint counterpart is also an extradimensional being.

History[]

Pre-Crisis[]

Gayle Marsh was born in the Chicago autbuen of Skokli, Illinois, and had a normal childhood. However, at the age of twelve, Marsh began exhibiting psychic powers. When her parents discovered, they became frightned by her powers. Their family doctor recommended that Gayle be tumed to the more experienced hands at the Institute for Higher Psychokinstic Stuty, a Chicago based research facity specializing in the study of extrasasory phenomena. The researchers at the lnstitute were excited by the opportunity to studdy Gayle, finding her telekinetic powers to be among the most powertul ever recorded. One researcher, Dariel Perdergast, seemed to find Gayle's powers particularty fascinating and a friendship quickty developed between him and his young subject.

Initially, Gayle was only to spend a week at the Institute, but during her stay there her parents were kilied in a traffic accident. As Gayle had no other family to take her in, Pendergast petitioned the courts and was made the child's legal guardian. Under Penoergast's charge, Gayle was taught how to develop and use her great psychic powers. Pendergast had plans tor Gayle Marsh to help him fight a grave menace that he balieved held the world in its away. He saw something he called "decay" affecting everything and everybody, stripping the world of order and anything that was good. In Gayle, he saw a warrior capable of fighting these forces of decay.

By the time Gayle entered colege at Chicago's Lake Shore University. Her powers had reached their peak and Pendergast decided it was time that the battle against decay be joined. Yet Gayle was hesitant ta take up the fight, fearing the emotional backlash from her intended victims would be due to painful to her to handle due to her being a "sensitive" receiver of emotions from others. Gayle was unleashed upon Chicago after a frightening encounter on the campus of Lake Shore University, when she sensed the presence and power of Supergirl and mistook her for an ally of the decay.

Working under the name of Psi, Gayle demonstrated a statingiy high degree of power in her battles witn Supergirl.

However, Psi's reluctance to kill her was obvious and Supergirl was able to take advantage of that by playing against Psi's fears. Trapbed berween the telepathic urgings of Pendergast and the logical arguments of Supergirl, Psi's fragile emotional state collapsed and she was fled in panic from her mission. Disappoited by her showing and beleving she had gone over to the side of decay, Pendergast saw it as his duty to kill Gayle. Though contusad, Gayle was still able to act in self-defense and strike out to save herself. The result of this was that Fendergast was turned into the fiving manifestation of his own worst fears, becoming Decay, a creature whose very touch could decay and rot any and all matter. Gavle eventually saw the error of her training.

Post-Crisis[]

Psi's first appearance in the Post Crisis DC Universe was with the Suicide Squad. She had no memory of her real name or history, as an unknown event "has nearly shattered her psyche". She joined in order to gain help from the Suicide Squad in restoring her lost memory and accompanied Rick Flag and a similarly untested team for a mission in Central America, but she was killed by the Rocket Red Brigade. As she lay dying, she remembers her real name, Gayle Marsh, as well as her mother and father. Her allies, Mister 104, the Thinker and the Weasel are also killed on the mission. In Blackest Night, Psi was temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern.

The New 52[]

In 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. Psi is reintroduced as a prisoner in "The Circus", the Detroit station for A.R.G.U.S. operations. It takes the efforts of both Superman and Supergirl to arrest her. Steve Trevor and Killer Frost visit her cell to see if she can disrupt the Firestorm Matrix in order to free the imprisoned Justice Leagues. When Psi touches him however, Trevor is flooded with images, which he realizes connects everything he already knew, based on the clue Madame Xanadu told him, and tells him how to save the Justice League. One of the visions that Psi showed Steve Trevor was that Wonder Woman's lasso is in the possession of Cheetah.
