Who is Voodoo?

Origin Voodoo’s original origin differs from that in the new 52. Her real name is Priscilla Kitaen. She originally worked as a stripper before she was discovered by the WildC.A.T.s and the Daemonites . Both groups were after her because she had a unique ability called the “Sight” which allows her to detect when someone is being controlled by a Daemonite and remove it from the body. In the new 52 there are in fact two Voodoos, one who is a Daemonite clone of the other and being used as an agent against the superheroes of Earth. As of yet very little has been revealed about the two characters, other than the original was being held in a government facility against her will. After Voodoo is freed and told what her clone has been doing she reacts poorly to the information, specifically that the clone was a strip club dancer. This suggests a break from the past of the character wherein that was a core part of her origin.
