On Valentine's Day some years ago, Violet Bernstein was violently attacked by a group of male mobsters while walking home from work. Being mute, Violet was unable to call for help. Badly beaten and near death, Violet was visited by the spirit of Lilith who offered her great powers and a chance for revenge against the men who thought them her better. Violet accepted and became: Silent Violet! When she will turn up next is anyone's guess but... one thing is certain: If someone is committing a crime, she'll beat them PURPLE!
