The Ottoman Empress enjoys stealing expensive and aesthetically pleasing furniture to add to her collection. Furniture is her passion. One night during a heist, she is ambushed by Die Fledermaus, but instead of fighting, the two fall in love. Because Die Fledermaus is so incompotent as a superhero, he makes no attempt to reform her, but instead protects her from other superheroes like American Maid and the Tick. This allows her to collect the ultimate piece for her collection, the world's most comfortable chair. The Empress has no intention to use the chair herself because it acts as her secret weapon. Once a person sits in the chair they are overcome with the desire to stay seated forever, and thereby permanently incapacitated. The Empress intends to use the chair to immobilize the Tick.
