Secret (Greta Hayes) is a fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Comics universe.
[edit] Fictional Biography
Secret first appeared in a one-shot comic, part of the "Girlfrenzy" fifth week event, by Todd Dezago and Todd Nauck called Young Justice: The Secret, in which Robin, Impulse, and Superboy helped her to escape from the DEO (Department of Extranormal Operations) agents who were holding her against her will. Secret was incorporeal, able to take on a variety of appearances, and is referred to as "the mist girl" or "the bottle girl" by the various agents who pursue her throughout the run of Young Justice.
Eventually, her origin was revealed: Secret was once an ordinary girl named Greta, whose adoptive brother Billy killed her as part of his plan to become the supervillain Harm. Because of the manner of her death, Greta remained stuck on this plane of existence, a gateway between the living and the dead.
Secret nursed a crush on Robin throughout the series, but eventually gave in to the darkness in her nature at the behest of Darkseid. Tim was able to talk her down, however, and a disgusted Darkseid stripped her of her powers in the last issue of Young Justice, leaving her an ordinary, living girl, which was ironically just as she always wanted to be.
She now attends the Elias School for Girls, along with Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Girl) and Cissie King-Jones (the former Arrowette).
[edit] Other media
Secret made a cameo in Teen Titans Go! #10 in the form of a small photo on the cover of the fictional magazine Teen Seen, along with small pictures of Aqualad, Wildebeest, Slo-Bo and Speedy.
