Samantha Maxis (Crisis)

Samantha Maxis is a major character in Phase Two of the Crisis series. Prior to Phase Two, she was originally from Earth-Ultimis as the young daughter of German scientist Ludvig Maxis. After being betrayed by Edward Richtofen, she was accidentally trapped within the MPD, from which she claimed control of the zombies and used them to hunt down Richtofen. She was unsuccessful, and Richtofen ended up switching bodies with her to gain control of the zombies. Now in Richtofen's body, Samantha died on the Moon, but her soul continued to live in parts unknown. The possibility of finding her soul in Agartha is what motivated her father's turn to evil.

In reality, Samantha's soul was transported to the Crazy Place Pocket Dimension, where she was rescued by the Ultimis and an alternate version of her father. Samantha and Ultimis-Maxis lived in the House, a paradise world controlled by Dr. Monty, where an innocent child version of Richtofen, Eddie, became a brother to her. Following the events of Revelations, she remained in the House until it was attacked by the Shadowman. The Ultimis sacrificed themselves to help Samantha escape with the Summoning Key, which was crucial in the final battle to defeat the Shadowman. During this time, Ultimis Richtofen apologized for his betrayal, Samantha reclaimed her body, and she had one last embrace with her father.

Following Infinity Crisis, Samantha remained on Earth-1, where she discovered her body was rapidly aging due to its prolonged time in the MPD. She also discovered that the cyclic nature of Earth-Ultimis allowed Dr. Monty to return and continue to trap his timeline in a timeloop that ended with apocalypse. To save her world and finally find peace, she reunites with Eddie and takes the fight to Monty to finish the conflict for good.
