Description
Name: Calypso Ezili
Group: Kraven the Hunter
First Appearance: Amazing Spider-Man #209
(July, 1980)

"You poor, poor fool. Kraven is dead! His weaknesses killed him. He did not have the power. He was not worthy." - Calypso

Calypso was a voodoo priestess of Haitian descent. She was a psychopathic woman who was associated with Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter. Calypso seemed to enjoy driving Kraven into fits of rage and furthering his hatred of Spider-Man, which ultimately led to Kraven's suicide.

Calypso increased her powers via the sacrifice of her younger sister. She used her abilities to hold Curt Connors, The Lizard, in her grasp, and the two nearly succeeded in murdering Spider-Man. However, the web-slinger managed to best them both, and Calypso was apparently killed.

Calypso next emerged on the streets of Hell's Kitchen, kidnapping Haitian refugees and turning them into zombies, as practice for her plan to resurrect Kraven. When Daredevil confronted her, she managed to temporarily enslave him until Brother Voodoo advised him on how to defeat her. As Daredevil freed the enslaved souls she had accumulated, she deliberately crashed the building down upon herself.

In New Orleans, Calypso killed a voodoo priest and stole one of the Amulets of Damballah which allowed her to resurrect and control Simon Garth, though she soon abandoned him to his own fate. This, too, seems to have been practice for a long-term plan of resurrecting Kraven.

She next appeared in Colorado, seducing a guard at the Vault and then using her magic to break the Lizard out of jail so that she could control him again. But the enraged Lizard slashed her throat open and escaped.
