Powers: Fatima possessed abilities in espionage, enabling her to act unseen within the base of Supremus. She did not demonstrate any special physical abilities or advanced training. She was courageous enough to oppose Supremus and his servants by herself.
History: (Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD I#8) - Fatima felt sympathy for her brother, Ulysses, who was an advanced genius, but suffered from a glandular disorder which caused him to become progressively weaker and unable to even support his own weight. However, she opposed him when Ulysses established the identiy of Supremus and attempted to take vengeance on the world that had mocked him. Fatima attempted to warn Sir Geoffrey Ainsley of Supremus' plan to assassinate him, but was too late.
When Nick Fury, director of SHIELD I, traveled to Supremus' base, he was gassed and imprisoned. Fatima revived and freed Fury, warned him of Supremus' plans to release his gas across Earth, and led him to Supremus' control center. Fury succeeded in destroying Supremus' exoskeleton in time to prevent him from releasing his gas throughout the world. Fatima removed Ulysses from the exoskeleton, but he instantly died, apparently a result of electrocution from the destruction of the armor. Fury destroyed Supremus' base, and he and Fatima escaped.
