Biography[]
Early life[]
Frida was born in Russia. When she became an adult, she became an international drug dealer, at least until she was reported by two informants. She was then arrested and deported back to Russia.[1]
Revenge[]
From unknown means, Frida obtained powers and managed to escape. She travelled to Central City, where she met the first informant, Maria Volkova. She used her powers to destroy Maria's helicopter to kill her, but Maria was saved by Kid Flash. Frida then followed Maria to CC Jitters, where she finally managed to kill her.
She later broke into the CCPD and demanded that Joe West give the location of Olga Zhuravlev, the second informant. The Flash and Kid Flash appeared and tried to make her give up, but she didn't want to. She tried to kill them using her powers but was injected with Velocity X by Joe, who handcuffed her and arrested her.[1]
