Powers/Abilities: Eudora Simpson was an elderly woman.

    She almost certainly had some skills as a seamstress, as well as perhaps other fields, but none were displayed in her brief appearance.

    She made an unfortunate choice of cashing a check in the vicinity of people willing to kill her for her money.

History:
(Justice I#1 (fb) - BTS) - Eudora was a seamstress until she retired.

(Justice I#1 (fb) - BTS) - At the age of 71 years, Eudora cashed her social security check at her local grocery store in Alphabet City (where the streets did not have names but rather letters). She purchased her groceries but after she left the store, she was confronted by the young punks Slits, Pink and Home. Shaking in fear, Eudora respectfully addressed the young men, but Pink  struck her in the head with a pipe, knocking her out. The trio took her purse and some of her groceries and then fled.

(Justice I#1) - As Eudora lay on the sidewalk, her face in a pool of blood, either dead or unconscious, her assailants climbed over a nearby fence.

(Justice I#1 - BTS) - Pink, Slits and Home rushed back to an abandoned house where they were confronted and slain by the paranormal Justice (John Tensen) who seemingly sensed their corrupt natures (see comments) and incinerated them with his "sword" blast.

Comments: Created by Archie Goodwin, Geof Isherwood, Joe Delbeato, and Jack Fury.

    For any unfamiliar, here's a primer to the New Universe, courtesy of Prime Eternal...if the link doesn't work, just scroll down....
    This story took place back when Justice was under Daedalus Darquill's influence and believed himself to be a native of the Land of Spring in the Far Place.

    Justice can perceive the aura around people to determine if they possess paranormal powers. He initially believed this ability to allow him to tell good from evil, but this may be part of Darquill's illusions.
