Fictional character biography

[edit]

Secret is a ghostly member of Young Justice who joins the team after Robin, Impulse, and Superboy free her from the Department of Extranormal Operations. She is later revealed to have been a human named Greta Hayes who was killed by her adoptive brother Billy. Because of the manner of her death, Greta is trapped in the mortal plane.[1]

Harm later kills Secret on Apokolips before Darkseid fully resurrects her.[2] Subsequently, Greta enrolls at the Elias School with Cassandra Sandsmark and Cissie King-Jones.[3]

In "The New Golden Age" storyline, Secret is reimagined as the former sidekick of the Spectre.[3]
