Fictional character biography

Mayflower is a member of the Force of July, a patriotic themed superhero team run by the United States government. She has the power to control and grow plant life at a rapid rate, animating vines to capture or ensnare her opponents. Mayflower wears a costume similar to that of a Pilgrim of colonial America, along with a long, brown cloak but without a hat or bonnet. Mayflower also speaks with an English accent.

Mayflower is the daughter of Rose Canton, the Golden Age villainess the Thorn. This makes her the half-sister of Jade (Jennifer "Jennie" Lynn-Hayden) and Obsidian (Todd Rice). It is unclear if she knew Jade and Obsidian were her half-siblings. It is unrevealed who her biological father was.

Mayflower dies during the early events of the Janus Directive, a victim of Amanda Waller's need to portray that she had been replaced by a subservient doppleganger. In a violent confrontation, the Suicide Squad attacks the Force at their own home. Others are killed, including Mayflower's teammate Sparkler. Mayflower is garrotted by Suicide Squad member Ravan.[1]

Powers and abilities

She can control all forms of plant life, causing them to grow and move at her will, and can secrete toxin extracts to kill or control minds.
