Originally, Laura had no super powers, but fought evil as the Blue Bulleteer, a caped-and-masked markswoman. After a near-fatal injury, she was rescued by the great wizard Azagoth who gave her mystical powers (including the ability to become a giantess). From then onwards she became Nightveil, a being of almost limitless power who combats supernatural villains like The Shroud and the Great God Capricorn. Her nemesis is beautiful but evil Alizarin Crimson. Nightveil is sometimes referred to as the Mystic Maid.
