Mystek is a fictional character in theDC Comicsuniverse. Created byChristopher Priest and Manny Clark in theRay (vol. 2) #12 (May 1995) and died inJustice League Task Force #32 (February 1996).
Very little information has been revealed about Mystek's life prior to her first confrontation with the Ray. Seong is a Korean woman born inQueens, New York who prefers to be called 'Barclay'. During an undisclosed incident inSeoul, she developedclaustrophobia.
Mystek comes into conflict with theRay, who she believes to be an enemy.Martian Manhunter recruits her into theJustice League, but she is killed soon afterward when her claustrophobia causes her to leave the League's ship and suffocate in space.
Mystek could manipulate energy at a subatomic level, usingquarks to form high-tolerance elastic, proactive matter. This hybridized state of matter was not pure energy, and therefore could pass harmlessly through an immaterial foe. She could use any electronic device as a window for this matter, allowing her a range of abilities, including flight. She was also able to use this matter offensively, in the form of energy blasts, and to read magnetic signatures.
