''Voodoo'' is a superhero created by Creator/JimLee and Brandon Choi, originally appearing in ''[[ComicBook/WildCATsWildStorm WildC.A.Ts]]'' before getting her own short-lived series written by Creator/AlanMoore.

Priscilla Kitaen was a half-human/half-Kherubim hybrid who used to work as an exotic dancer in New Orleans before being rescued from the Daemonites by the Wild Covert Action Team, whose ranks she joined under her stage name, Voodoo. As a result of her alien heritage, she possessed a unique ability known as "The Sight", which allowed her to perceive a being possessed by a Daemonite and exorcise it from its host body. She was therefore important to both sides in the war. Upon joining the [=Wild=]C.A.T.s she developed more significant and powerful psychic abilities as well as animalistic powers.

In 2011, Voodoo was given a new series as part of the ComicBook/New52 line of books. This series is a complete overhaul of the character and information about it can be found in ''ComicBook/{{Voodoo 2011}}''.

Another version of Priscilla Kitaen appears in ''ComicBook/TheWildStorm''.

!!Examples:
* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: She is not actually a practitioner of UsefulNotes/{{Voodoo}}. Her stage name was merely an attempt to play up her exotic heritage.
* TheBigEasy: She lived in New Orleans as a stripper.
* {{Expy}}: In her original incarnation, she was basically a palette and race-swapped version of ComicBook/JeanGrey.
* FantasticRacism: When the team relocated to Khera, Voodoo was forced to live in a ghetto because of her mixed heritage.
* HalfBreedAngst: Voodoo is part-Daemonite. The knowledge that one of her ancestors belonged to an AlwaysChaoticEvil race causes her no shortage of grief, especially when the other [[ComicBook/WildCATSWildStorm WildC.A.Ts]] find out and shun her.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Despite being a former stripper, she is one of the nicer Wildcats.
* HumanAlienDiscovery: Voodoo was an exotic dancer saved by the Wild C.A.T.s who has the "gift" of knowing who was possessed by a Daemonite and who is not, also splitting the alien from the host. After joining the team and put in a coma by a bullet, she and his friends discovered the truth: she was a descendant of Daemonites with Kherubin roots.
* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: She somehow gained the ability to sprout claws from her fingertips at one point. Another story had her develop magnetic abilities.
* {{Robosexual}}: Voodoo when it comes to her relationship with Spartan/Jack Marlowe. She's a half-breed stripper from Florida and he's an alien android construct. Their relationship could be a homage to the relationship between the Vision and Scarlet Witch from Marvel due to Jack's continuous doubt of his humanity and Voodoo's continuous reassurance of him being the man she loves.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Zealot turned against her because of her Daemonite heritage, Voodoo quit the team.
* SuperZeroes: Her ability to see Daemonites makes her an asset to the team, but her lack of combat training made her a liability when she first joined. She later got combat training from Zealot.
* {{Telepathy}}: Her main power is the ability to read minds.
* TwoferTokenMinority: She is mixed race (half-black, half-Kherubim) and bisexual.
