Ghost Widow is a character featured in the MMORPG City of Villains. Originally a Night Widow agent for Arachnos, Belladonna Vetrano was an expert spy; a master of stealth, infiltration and disguise. When she was killed on a mission, Vetrano re-manifested as a spirit.

She is often accompanied by the Wretch, an Arachnos soldier who was hideously scarred and mutated in his attempt to prevent Ghost Widow's death.

[edit] Powers

In her ghostly form, she can phase through walls and only becomes solid to interact with the everyday world. She can drain and transfer life force from victims as well as summon spirits to attack her enemies. She is the leader of the Fortunatas, the psychic footsoldiers of Arachnos, as well as the Night Widows.


[edit] Real-life appearances

A model dressed as Ghost Widow has made several promotional appearances since the launch of City of Villains, and is a popular attraction at comic book conventions.
