Andy: The new costume was on display for us during the set visit, and its ingenuity is remarkable...I’m afraid I can’t find in my notes the name of the gentlemen who walked us through it, but he said that if someone was wearing the Dark Knight costume in a street fight with several thugs and knew what they were doing in terms of self defense, they would kick a lot of ass.

Well, there was magic. And Mordru had plenty of that. Rao knows, he could do the job, if he wanted to. If she could persuade him. And, running her hands over her body, she guessed that she had just the means to persuade him. It might be fun, too.
Satan Girl had no illusions about her power relative to Mordru's. He could blast her from existence. Kryptonians were powerless against magic, and Mordru was the mightiest sorceror of the age.
