Berlin Betty

Elizabeth Stacy Holman (a.k.a. Berlin Betty)

Elizabeth Stacy Holman was born into an affluent British family in 1920, and raised with all the aristocratic arrogance expected of a lady of her station. Her parents took her traveling throughout the Empire — from China, to India, to Africa — but instead of opening her mind to the beauty of the various cultures, they hammered home a distaste for the British satellites and their “inferior” races. Growing up, Holman never lacked for suitors, but she found that British men were bereft of a certain fire to match her own passions. Instead, she traveled Europe, finding fault with any culture that didn’t meet her exacting, racist standards. It was only during a visit to Berlin that she found herself swept up in Nazi ideology and Germany’s puritanical fervor. Holman became the darling of Berlin and was soon circulating in the highest echelons of the Nazi party.
Holman, however, didn’t want to be another pretty face in a country filled with adoring groupies vying for the attention of notable party members. Instead, she wanted to contribute to the effort, and soon convinced the Gestapo to use her as an intelligence asset. They trained her in espionage, and used her contacts in British society to gain crucial information. Still, Holman wanted to do more and eventually, after serving the Gestapo with surprising cunning, was invited to participate in Amt XIII (Office 13). Amt XIII was a hidden arm of the Reich Main Security Office, dedicated to the creation of supers to fight in the growing war. Holman volunteered, becoming the Reich crusader known as Berlin Betty. The process to make her powered only increased her natural attributes, but she knew how to use them to their fullest.
Berlin Betty survived the fall of Berlin, and even managed to escape to Argentina where ex-Reich members planned the rise of the Fourth Reich. One by one, however, Holman’s allies fell to Israeli Nazi hunters, forcing Holman to flee her sanctuary. She remained on the move for several decades, reemerging occasionally to fight alongside old Nazi allies. Eventually, however, her luck ran out, and a team of American heroes captured her. She’s remained in custody ever since, a dangerous woman despite her age. Old aristocracy mixed with a sort of British colonial racism embodies Holman. She remains quiet in her dislikes of other cultures and communities, including other whites, whom she considers inferior by dint of their substandard breeding. Holman won’t display her racism openly, but she will encourage it in the small entourage of female convicts who seem drawn to her. Holman is a powerful personality and uses fellow prisoners as her proxies, but she discourages the use of racially-charged epithets, if only because they are crude devices for the unimaginative. Holman is antagonistic, without ever being overtly offensive. “Never give others the excuse,” is her motto.
