Publication History

In the comics, the Green Sorceress is depicted as a powerful and mysterious character, often associated with magic and sorcery.
Novelty Press was known for its superhero and crime comics during the early 1940s. Many of their characters, including the Green Sorceress, were phased out as the publisher’s focus shifted over the years.
In a secluded mountain laboratory, Dr. Bertoff was once a brilliant and well-respected scientist, known for his groundbreaking research in energy manipulation. However, tragedy struck when he lost his wife in a terrible accident. Devastated and heartbroken, Bertoff threw himself into his work, seeking a way to bring her back and fill the void in his life. As he delved deeper into his research, he discovered a mysterious, powerful energy source that he believed held the key to resurrecting his beloved wife.
With relentless determination, Bertoff harnessed the energy source and attempted to create a new life form that would embody the essence of his late wife. The result was a young woman who bore an uncanny resemblance to his lost love, but with a twist: her skin was an otherworldly shade of green. Naming her Giselle, Bertoff adopted her as his daughter, the Green Sorceress.
Giselle was incredibly intelligent and possessed supernatural abilities, including the power to manipulate energy and matter. As she grew older, her powers grew exponentially, and she started to become more and more unstable. The power she wielded began to corrupt her, and she developed a hunger for control and dominance. Her once loving relationship with Bertoff soured as she increasingly defied his authority and sought to expand her influence.
As Giselle’s powers grew, so too did her ambitions. She began to mutate lost travelers who had unwittingly wandered into her mountainous domain, transforming them into her minions. With each new addition to her ever-growing army, Giselle’s threat to the world outside the caves increased.
Realizing that his creation had become a monstrous force that threatened the lives of innocent people, Bertoff sought a way to stop Giselle. He believed that if he could find someone with a similar energy source, they might have a chance to defeat her. This led him to the fateful encounter with Fred Parrish, the Blue Bolt.
When the lightning storm struck Fred’s plane, Bertoff knew it was a sign that the energy source was calling out to him. He saved Fred and implanted the energy source within his chest, giving him incredible super speed. Although Fred was initially skeptical and frightened, he eventually understood that he was the only one who could stop the Green Sorceress and her growing army of mutated minions.
With this newfound knowledge, Fred, now the Blue Bolt, accepted his destiny and prepared to face Giselle, the Green Sorceress, in a battle that would determine the fate of countless lives and the future of the world itself.
