  Sasha Green, murdered by Luthor, is reanimated by the Bloodline aliens with the ability to absorb the memories and personalities of people she touches. With only fragmented memories of her past and no understanding of her new powers she wanders through Metropolis causing chaos. Luthor is determined to kill her again before she can reveal that he murdered her the first time.
