Spectral Sapphos
Spectral Sapphos are semi-corporeal psychokinetic manifestations of the souls of deceased Amazon warriors. They have returned to the land of the living to avenge not only their own deaths but also the deaths of any Amazons who have fallen while fighting for epic causes. They are neither purely good nor purely evil, being the souls of defeated Amazons of all moralities who now seek not only vengeance but also justice for their mourning Amazon sisters who remain among the living.
Though visually they all appear quite similar as the gods have limited the forms in which Spectral Sapphos may manifest themselves in the physical world, their ethereal powers are quite diverse. Recent Sappho sightings have indicated that they master the manipulation of all manner of elemental, psychic and paranormal energies, though they consistently channel their powers through polearms of supernatural substance which they wield with unnatural speed and accuracy.
The names borne by these souls while they were alive are largely unknown, but the citizens of Metropolis and Gotham City have taken to naming individual Spectral Sapphos according to the powers and personalities they have been observed to exhibit. Among the currently named Sapphos are:
The Sappho Sorceress, who seems far more predisposed than her sisters toward evil acts, using her eldritch magic to torment mortals for her own twisted pleasure.

The Sappho Silhouette, whose soul seems as cold and unfeeling as the stone she conjures and manipulates with her powers.
