The Witch Family

In the first episode of GenXorcist: Generation Exorcist, the Cabal face off against the Bell Witch and the Witch Family.

But who is the Bell Witch?

Below is an excerpt from "The Bell Witch Legend (2008)" posted on The Ringmaster's Realm:

"The legend of the Bell Witch is one of the most interesting tales passed on by our forefathers from early American folklore and for good reason. What happened to John Bell and his family was both frightening and tragic, yet the eerie nature of the occurrences still goes unexplained. To this day when people speak of the "Bell Witch" an unnerving chill runs down their spines. Was it a curse? Or was it an unsettled poltergeist from long before John Bell's arrival near the Red River?"

"The spirit also had a unique ability to change personalities in the middle of conversations with the Bells' or their many visitors. The spirit it seemed had four distinct personalities (five if you count Ol' Kate). These personalities all had different voices and traits which made it easy for the family to separate the perpetrator of the moment. These spirits were named Black dog, Mathematics, Cypocryphy and Jerusalem. Once they appeared, the amount of interaction with the Bell family increased ten fold. Not a night went by that the spirits didn't hold a revival in the Bell's parlor. These events weren't always targeted at tormenting John and Betsy Bell, often times the spirits would just accompany the family in the singing of hymns or re-telling lost tales of folklore."

My super villain versions of the Bell Witch and The Witch Family take liberal license with the legend:

Kate, The Bell Witch - Sorceress
Cypocryphy - Can fly and spin silk
Black Dog - Superhuman strength, reflexes and senses
Jerusalem - Laser eyes that can shift through the complete spectrum
Mathematics - Mathematical genius in protective armor
