First Appearance: Superman (2nd series) Annual #12 (Aug. 2000)
Status: Hero
Real name: Andrea Rojas
Occupation: Mesoamerican anthropologist
Base: Mexico City
Special powers/abilities: Superb athlete and martial artist.
In her youth, Andrea Rojas moved with her family from Coban, Guatemala to Mexico while her father continued his studies of Mesoamerican culture for the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Joining in her father's work, Andrea also became learned in ancient myths and languages. However, she was increasingly distracted by the modern day ills suffered by her culture, particularly those created by narcotics trafficking and rampant crime. A gifted athlete and martial artist, Andrea adopted the masked identity of Acrata, a name which, when translated, means "those who suppress authority," and decided to fight organized crime.
Wearing a costume adorned with the Mayan symbol of the shadows, a totem that purportedly allowed Mayan priests to travel stealthily in the dark, Acrata began striking at the drug cartels of South America, frequently uniting with fellow Mexican heroes Iman and El Muerto. The trio once teamed with Superman to defeat the sinister sorcerer Duran. As her calling card, Acrata leaves spray-painted literary epithets to mark her capture of a perpetrator or prevention of a crime.
