Laura De Mille (Earth-21)

"There is no failure, only death. And you will not die today, sister!"

- Madame Rouge

Laura De Mille, better known as Madame Rouge, is a time traveller in search of Niles Caulder.

Piffle Paffle
In 1914, Laura De Mille became a Meta recruiter for the Bureau of Oddities and founded the Sisterhood of Dada alongside Metahuman employees Shelley Byron, Lloyd Jefferson, Holly McKenzie, Sachiko and Malcolm.

Termination
"Laura De Mille is a disloyal and self-serving cancer to be excised. It is my strong recommendation that she be terminated immediately."

- Bureau of Oddities file on De Mille

At some point after her escape from the Ant Farm, De Mille's abilities caught the attention of Niles Caulder and he wrote a report on her on February 9, 1949, requesting a termination.

Arrival Imminent
In 2021, De Mille arrived to Cloverton and saw a bystander shocked about her arrival. De Mille then urinated on the ground and asked the bystander for her poster to clean up. Remembering her goal, she asked if the bystander knew who and where Niles Caulder is. Unfortunately, the bystander ran away in horror as De Mille searched for Caulder alone.

Later, De Mille arrived at Codsville Mountain Resort and refused to open the door for Rita Farr to escape, while shape-shifting into Farr's appearance.

While Niles's team were bidding farewell to the Dead Boy Detective Agency, De Mille revealed her presence and asked if anyone wanted tea.
