But this was n’t the case . While Vanessa did get power , her body was also destroyed , and as come across inTitans#10,she seems now to be little more than an android that Amanda Waller control . It ’s a heartrending backstory , that Vanessa was transformed into theTitans ' biggest menace as Vanadia .

The idea of Vanadia , someone with allthe powers of the Titans , is shockingly like to the Amazo Justice League that Waller will control during the upcomingAbsolute Powerevent .

Amanda Waller seems to be the mastermind behind Vanessa ’s transformation , and it ’s no surprisal . Waller is all about control , and she dead despises top-notch - powered beings . The STAR Labs experimentation was in all probability stand for to but entice someone inwho Waller could experiment on . The idea of Vanadia , someone with allthe powers of the Titans , is shockingly similar tothe Amazo Justice Leaguethat Waller will control during the upcomingAbsolute Powerevent . Taking someone who was inspire by Hero and corrupting them into her own use is perfectly in line with Wallers ' methods .

While it ’s true that heroes should inspire mass to be good , this can sometimes have disastrous outcome . Vanessa ’s heart was in the correct place , and she sincerely did desire to save lives and be a extremity of the Titans . But the world is a far more complicated seat than that , and Vanessa ’s single - disposed desire leads her to a place where she was unwillingly transformed into a scoundrel . The most heartbreaking vista of this backstory , though , is the fact theTitanswill now fight her without ever know that Vanessa truly was their biggest fan .
