Last September, DC Comics planted a mysterious hooded woman in each and every issue of their New 52. After much speculation, DC Comics has finally revealed the woman's name: Pandora. Confirmed via a post on their official blog, DC Comics simply posted the image below and the name.
Pandora is obviously in reference to Pandora's Box, the artifact from Greek mythology that contains all of the evil in the world. Though Pandora opened it and let the evil escape, there was one element that remained inside -- hope. Could this Pandora hold a similar role in the DCU?
It might be worth noting that the file name of the image that DC provided is labeled as "The Strange" -- while not a confirmation of anything whatsoever, it could perhaps be a clue to an upcoming new series that will shed some light on the Pandora character.
