Maria

Maria is a side character that features in a couple of titles set in the Elsaverse. She worked as a stripper at the Xtasy Club, where Charles Reyes found her and convinced her to join his squad of people with powers, as Maria is a Distractor: she can draw people's attention to herself so that they don't notice other things going on around them.

Personal
Since she was a little girl, María always wanted to be the center of attention, and she doesn't really care how she achieves that, as long as she succeeds. That's why she likes to be a stripper at the Xtasy Club: when she's on stage, she can feel everybody's eyes focused on her, and she enjoys it immensely. One night, however, she got frustrated while performing her routine, as she seemed unable to draw the customers' attention to her moves despite amping them up to the max. Only one guy wasn't distracted while watching her, and he then paid for a private show. Much for Maria's surprise, this redhead young man didn't want to see her dance closely, but to talk to her, showing some annoying manners. After telling her that she has a supernatural power, he confessed he has one too, as he can suppress other people's powers, which is why Maria couldn't get that night the attention she wanted from the rest of the customers. When she was about to throw that guy out, Charles Reyes mentioned his name for the first time, and Maria got interested in the opportunity he could give her to dance in front of many more people at one of the Reyes family's hotels and casinos.

However, Charles Reyes only wanted Maria to put her power to better use under his command. Some time after recruiting her, he set up a trap for Michael Blackhawk, using Maria as bait to lure him into an apartment where Charles was waiting for him. When Michael realized what was actually happening, it was too late for him to avoid that undesired meeting, and Maria seemed sincerely sorry for having lured him up. After Michael rejected Charles' offer to become a part of his new gang squad, two detectives from the Sangrive Police Department showed up at the apartment's door, and Maria used her power again to distract them while Charles ran away; then, Michael convinced her to turn off her power and let the officers chase her boss, which seems to imply that, despite her initial excitement, Maria is actually uncomfortable working for Charles Reyes.

Powers
Maria is a Distractor: she can draw people's attention to herself so that they don't notice other things going on around them. Before being aware of her power, she was already using it at her stripper job, as she was known for making people unable to take their eyes off her during her routines. When Maria uses her power on the police detectives, they can't even see the other person standing next to her. As any other person with powers, bar his dad, Maria can't make her power work when Charles Reyes is around her.
