Who is Ghost?

Origin The Ghost we know today was born Elisa Deerlane. When she was between four years old her birth father Dan Deerlane was killed by Earl Cameron in an altercation. Earl married Elisa's mother June Deerlane and adopted her and her sister Margo Deerlane, changing their last names to Cameron. Elisa and Margo repressed their memories of their father's murder and believed the alcoholic Earl Cameron was their birth father. When Elisa was an adult, an alien named Vortex restored to her the repressed memories of her father. Eventually, Earl and June would both be killed by a hit-man who was hired by Crux. As a child, Elisa had the power to enter a new dimension and had a friend, Nemo, whom she played with. (See powers section above.) Nemo turned out to be Elisa's personal demon, but while Elisa was little, Nemo was her "imaginary" friend.
