Sapphire (Candice Gennaro) is a superheroine appearing in media published by DC Comics. She first appeared in the Power Company back-up story in JLA #61 (February 2002), but her origin is told in Power Company: Sapphire #1 (March 2002). Sapphire was created by Kurt Busiek and Tom Grummett.

Fictional character biography

Candice Gennaro, nicknamed Candy, is a sixteen-year-old runaway and street thief living in San Diego who stumbles onto the scene of a battle between Kobra's forces and a splinter faction led by Lady Eve. Candy enters Kobra's submarine while fleeing the battlefield and encounters the Serpent's Egg, an alien artifact that Kobra intended to use. The Egg bonds to Candy, forming a blue secondary skin around her body.

Fearing that Kobra will hunt her down, Candy heads for the headquarters of the Power Company, who she hopes will protect her. There, she finds that the Strike Force, a group of mercenaries, are planning to kidnap Josiah Power, the founder of Power Company. Power defeats Strike Force by himself, with Candy joining the Power Company as an associate.

Powers and abilities

Sapphire is physically bonded to a psycho-reactive alien gem called the Serpent's Egg. It enhances her latent telekinetic abilities, allowing her to fly and manipulate its structure to form various constructs.
