Character Background

Surisha appeared in Monsters Unleashed Volume 1 #10 in the story The Serenity Stealers where Tigra came into contact with her. In that story Surisha sent the demon Aesklos, who was under her command to Earth to steal the life energy and souls of innocents. Aesklos would then bring back the energies claimed to Surisha so she could sustain her existence. Surisha was unable to leave her own realm so she relied entirely on Aesklos to keep her alive and in turn, Aesklos kept itself alive by feeding on the souls it had stolen as well.

During one of Aesklos 's travels to Earth, Tigra saw the demon kill an innocent and upon seeing Aesklos kill a second innocent man, Tigra followed Aesklos back to Surisha's realm. After feeding on the souls, Surisha sent Aesklos back to Earth in search of more souls. When Aesklos departed Tigra attacked Surisha.

The two battled and Surisha tried to take the soul of Tigra, but Tigra was too strong and resisted Surisha's powers. When Tigra raked her claws across Surisha's face, Surisha summoned Aesklos back to her realm to protect her. Aesklos' predator instincts saw Surisha in a weakened state and Aesklos attacked, soon after consuming Surisha's soul and killing her. With Surisha dead Aesklos died moments later disentegrating into dust.

Powers

Surisha was a succubus and as such had many of the abilities of the Succubus of legend. She was capable of stealing the life energy or souls of others, needing to do so to sustain her existence as she aged very quickly if she did not. She also shared a symbiotic relationship with the demon Aesklos and was able to consume the life energy or souls he had taken directly from him. She had super strength and was able to battle with Tigra, holding her at bay for some time.
