The Immigrant Hostage is an illegal immigrant working at a textile factory owned by Queen Industries.
Season Nine[]
Together with her co-workers, she was taken hostage by a mysterious man, who left the staff bound and gagged, while a bomb was ticking down. She and the others were rescued by the Blur, and taken to Metropolis General Hospital. When she was approached by Daily Planet reporters Lois Lane and Clark Kent, she kept quiet. Clark, then briefly possessing telepathy, read her mind and discovered that she was an illegal immigrant (fearing being sent back to her native country, if she was found out, as she needed this job to support her baby). Clark assured her that he and Lois were not INS, and that she could talk to them. With her fears calmed, she began telling them that she had seen a man.
