__TOC__

== Background ==

=== History ===
[[File:Numina (old).jpg|right|thumb|100px|{{center|Numina, old model}}]]
Numina was born Tammy Arcanus, daughter of [[Tommy Arcanus]] of the [[Midnight Squad]]. Tommy delved so deeply into the metaphysical that his very being was affected, and Tammy was born with magical powers. Early in her super-powered career, Tammy joined the Midnight Squad. In the 1960s, she and her team were sent into a series of caverns surrounding the Earth's molten core. It was there that the Red Threat, a Soviet villain, intended to destroy the world.

To save the Earth, Tammy possessed the body of the Red Threat. She minimized the damage, but her body was destroyed. Her consciousness survived, trapped within the Red Threat until he was killed in prison during the [[Rikti Invasion]]. Tammy's astral form was at last free. She renamed herself Numina and threw herself into the war against the [[Rikti]]. In the war's aftermath, Numina uses her abilities to nurture the next generation of heroes.

Numina is one of the [[Surviving Eight]], dedicated to helping Paragon City rebuild after the Rikti War.

Numina's sidekick is [[Infernal]] although he has become a full-fledged hero in his own right as a member of the [[Vindicators]].  She is helping him become acclimated to [[Primal Earth]].
