First Appearance: Thunderstrike#6 (March, 1994)
Powers/Abilities: Schizo is the opposite of her sister Touchstone, who is grounded in every reality; Schizo, in contrast, is grounded in none. She constantly rambles insanely, and has the power to inflict reality-warps upon others which display their greatest nightmares to them, in attempts to drive them insane as well.
History: (Thunderstrike#6)- Schizo was sent alongside Lucian and Bristle of the Peacekeepers to help escort Pandara back to Lyonesse, but had to first combat Thunderstrike, Stellaris, Code: BLUE and Blackwulf. Schizo used her powers effectively against Stellaris, because Stellaris had never had a nightmare in all her life. When Code: BLUE rallied against the Peacekeepers they fled, with Schizo using a reality-warp to disorient the police officers long enough for them to escape.
(Blackwulf#1)- Schizo joined the Peacekeepers in their attempt to capture Dr. Caitlin Maddox for Tantalus, but encountered the Underground Legion. She used her powers against Sparrow, causing Sparrow to hallucinate about her alcohol problem. Ultimately, the Undergrounders escaped with Dr. Maddox.
(Blackwulf#2)- As Lucian, now called Blackwulf, attempted to convince the Peacekeepers of Tantalus' wickedness, he informed them that the food they were feasting on was his own brother, Pelops. Schizo stopped eating for a moment, but then continued. Tantalus appeared to inform them that they were not eating Pelops, and sent the Peacekeepers on a mission to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base to obtain two Skrull corpses. There, they again fought the Underground, now joined by Blackwulf. Schizo hung on the edge of the fray, unaffected by the battle. She departed with the Peacekeepers, who managed to capture one of the Skrulls.
(Blackwulf#4)- When the Skrull proved to still be alive and fought the Peacekeepers, Schizo was about to use her powers on him when Tantalus appeared and told her to stand down. At the sight of Tantalus, the Skrull pledged his allegiance to his cause.
(Blackwulf#6)- Schizo joined the Peacekeepers in following Tantalus to Armechadon aboard his vessel Vimana.
(Blackwulf#8)- At Armechadon, the Peacekeepers joined forces with the Deviants there against the Kree Starforce and the Undergrounds of both earth and Armechadon. Schizo used her hallucinatory powers against their enemies, but she was rendered catatonic by her sister, Touchstone.
Comments: Created by Glenn Herdling and Angel Medina (but first depicted by Tom DeFalco, Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott).
Schizo's distinctive font-style and speech patterns were not used in her first appearance.
