Girl 13 aka Traci Thirteen is a fictional character in the DC universe, who first appeared in Superman # 189 in February, 2003.
[edit] History
The latest in the long line of "Homo Magi," humans born with innate powers of sorcery, Traci was forbidden by her father, Doctor Thirteen, to practice magic, since her mother died due to magical influences. Traci moved to the Suicide Slum of Metropolis, determined to live on her own (with her iguana Leeroy). There she began to tap into the "urban magic" of Metropolis, and assumed the name of Girl 13, becoming a super hero of sorts. She met Superboy, who was attracted to her, but the feeling wasn't mutual. She used her magic to defend an injured Superman from a ghostly female ninja, along with fellow "Supergirls," Natasha Irons and Cir-El, with whom she formed a friendship. Fortunately, the Spectre's attack on magic does not seem to have had an effect on her powers.
One year later, she resides with her father in Doomsbury Mansion, the ancestral home of her family, annoyed by his skepticism and boring outlook.[1]
[edit] Powers
Girl 13 has "urban magic" and can tap into the magic of cities to cast spells, teleport, fire blasts of magic energy, create mystic force shields, and can even transform her pet iguana into a dragon.
