So the last week of 52 is out.  This leaves the most important question left unanswered.  Who is DC’s mystery woman?

DC has been playing Where’s Waldo or Find the Observer with their comics.  In numerous issues, this woman has appeared in the background.  She has no name, no title (yet) and no hints.  She’s just there and she is easy to miss.

I’ve nicknamed her Lady 52

Here is what we know:

• She wears a while hood and cap over a jacket.
• She has red glowing eyes/aura.
• She is always in the back ground and literally blends in with the crowd.
• She has phasing abilities that allow her to blend into the wall.
• She appeared in numerous comics in week 4 of the New 52
• Showed up in the final Flashpoint comics

What we don’t know:

• Her name
• Her purpose
• Her actual powerset
• Anything important

Speculations:

[Warning these will range from good to weird to stupid.  You have been warned]

• She is the scout for an alien race.
• She is DC’s version of Fringe’s Observer
• If the New 52 fails then this will all be a hallucination/delusion that this character dreamed up
• She is part of N.O.W.H.E.R.E., or League of the Assassins
• She is Cassandra Cain or Stephanie Brown.
• She is a remnant of the old DCU trying to figure out what is going on

Known sightings:

• Flash 1
• Voodoo 1
• Teen Titans 1
• Green Lantern: New Guardians
