The Female Furies are a group of supervillain warriors known for their viciousness and one of their more dangerous members is Lashina. A creation of Jack Kirby, Lashina is an immortal with superhuman abilities, she is an expert at hand to hand fighting, and uses electrically charged whips.
Lashina was introduced in Mister Miracle #6 (January 1972). She grew up in Granny Goodness’ orphanage and was trained to be a warrior. When Big Barda left Apokolips and settled on Earth, Darkseid named Lashina as leader of the Female Furies. Bernadeth, a fellow Fury, was not happy about this change in leadership.
Bernadeth betrayed Lashina on a mission to capture Glorious Godfrey, a New God who was imprisoned on Earth. As they were escaping a boom tube, Lashina was caught in the explosion and went flying into the swamp near Belle Reve. She hid there until she saved an injured member of the Suicide Squad, and feigning amnesia, joined the team.
Now going by the name Duchess, she worked with the Suicide Squad on several missions until she found a way to return to Apokolips. Lashina convinced Suicide Squad members to come with her and kidnapped others. Once they arrived on Apokolips, a battle ensued and Lashina killed Bernadeth.
Furious that Lashina had brought humans to Apokolips, Darkseid revived Bernadeth and killed Lashina. Later, Darkseid revived her and she started sharing leadership of the Furies with Bernadeth, leading them in battle.
