Kole Weathers is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. She is a short-lived member of the Teen Titans who possesses the ability to generate crystals. Kole was introduced and killed during the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and has rarely appeared since.
Professor Abel Weathers, paranoid of an impending nuclear holocaust, sought to find a way for humanity to survive the fallout through forced evolution. One of the test subjects in his experiments was his 16-year-old daughter, Kole, whom he grafted with crystal and promethium. Instead of evolving to survive a nuclear fallout as her father intended, Kole gained the ability to create and control crystal at will.[1][2]
Kole is kidnapped by Theia, who forces her to construct a crystal prison on Mount Olympus for her use. Theia comes into conflict with the Teen Titans and is killed in the ensuing battle, with Kole being freed. Lilith Clay, a member of the Titans with limited precognition, senses "dark clouds of destruction" around Kole. She attempts to prevent her from returning to Earth, but Kole refuses.[3] Kole is taken in by the Wilson family, living with Adeline Kane and Adeline's son Joseph Wilson.[1][2]
Kole attempts to reunite with her parents, only for her father to capture the Titans and attempt to experiment on them. In the ensuing conflict, Abel's laboratory is destroyed. Abel, his wife Marilyn, and their test subjects emerge from the wreckage, transformed into insectoid forms.[1][2]
During the 2005 event Infinite Crisis, Kole is briefly resurrected and placed under the control of Brother Blood, who forces her to battle the Teen Titans. She is defeated and returned to the grave along with the other undead Titans.[5][6]
In the 2006 storyline "One Year Later", Kid Eternity summons Kole from the afterlife to help locate the soul of Kid Devil's aunt Marla. After Kid Devil tells Kole that he had read about her in the Titans archives and thinks she is cool, she expresses gratitude and says she wishes that he could have been a member of the team while she was still alive. Kole returns to her resting place, leaving the two heroes to continue on their own.[7]
Kole is resurrected following the DC Rebirth relaunch and appears in Heroes in Crisis (2019) as a patient at the Sanctuary therapy center.[8][9]
Powers and abilities
Kole has the power to "spin" crystal, which is to create silicon crystal into independent masses—anything from a crystal "sculpture to a safety slide". She is able to encase people in crystal, effectively immobilizing them.
Kole appears in Teen Titans, voiced by Tara Strong.[11] This version is an honorary member of the Teen Titans who can transform her entire body into crystal and lives with Gnarrk in an isolated Arctic cavern to prevent her powers from being used for evil.
