Other Notes
Some spies sneak around in the dark to discover things, while some wheedle information out of their marks. The Temptress can do both. She is stealthy enough to have been a cat burglar-- and she does not need a flashlight when she has a luminescent smile. Or, she can tun on the charm her name implies; she naturally emits an intoxicating pheromone.
Add to this her body-builder strength, her encyclopedic knowledge, and her steely composure, and The Temptress is sure to accomplish her missions. Her hefty bank account proves she is worth her fee.
The Temptress may not be as powerful as some superheroes, but she can use the powers she has to great effect, and is able to switch tactics swiftly to bring her various powers and abilities to bear.
