Shimmer (real name Selinda Flinders) is a fictional character, a supervillain in the DC Comics universe. She was created by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman and first appeared in ''New Teen Titans'' #3 (January 1981). ==Fictional character biography== Selinda and her brother Baran (a.k.a. the supervillain Mammoth) are superhuman natives of Australia. Teased by their classmates for being different, the frustrated children used their powers to fight their tormentors, only to be driven out of town by the angry and frightened parents. Selinda and Baran's parents send them off to the country of Markovia, where they are put in the care of scientist Dr. Helga Jace. While Dr. Jace tries to teach the young mutants a sense of morality, the two instead turn to a life of crime. Shimmer is one of the founding members of the Fearsome Five, which she joins after answering an advert placed in the ''Underworld Star'' by Doctor Light. Shimmer and the Fearsome Five fought with the Teen Titans on numerous occasions; they also have battled Superman. Shimmer eventually renounces her criminal life and retires, along with Baran, to a Tibetan monastery. Later, her peaceful existence is ended when her former teammate Psimon tracks her down. Using his psychic powers, Psimon turns Shimmer's body to glass and shatters it.〔''New Titans'' #116 (December 1994)〕 Shimmer later returns to life.〔''Outsiders'' #13 (August 2004)〕 Dr. Sivana assembles a new version of the Fearsome Five, including Shimmer's brother Mammoth. Sivana is able to recruit Mammoth by promising to resurrect his sister. Sivana has Psimon reassemble the broken shards of Shimmer's glass body, then uses his superscience to restore her to life. In this new form, Shimmer adopts a revealing Goth-like black leather outfit in place of her original gold bodystocking. Shimmer is mentioned as a possible, but not likely, source for kryptonite in ''Countdown to Infinite Crisis'' (2005). Shimmer is one of the villains featured in ''Salvation Run''. She and Mammoth eventually join up with a new Fearsome Five roster that is hired by Calculator to kidnap Wonder Girl and distract the new team of Teen Titans while he abducts Kid Eternity. Shimmer and her teammates are eventually defeated, but in the process manage to cause the death of Kid Devil.〔''Teen Titans'' (vol. 3) #71–74 (2009)〕 Shimmer and the Fearsone Five apparently escape soon after their incarceration. They attempt to assassinate Donna Troy when she attends the opening of a resort in Miami. Troy easily defeats the villains, but Shimmer taunts her by refusing to reveal who hired them.〔''Titans'' (vol. 2) #20〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shimmer (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
