Fictional character biography

Ms. Gzptlsnz is an imp from the same fifth-dimensional plane as Mister Mxyzptlk, who she is in a relationship with. In JLA #31 (July 1999), she appears as the leader of a council of imps judging Qwsp.

In The New 52 reboot, Gzptlsnz is reimagined as Nyxlygsptlnz, the daughter of imp king Brpxz who disguises herself as Clark Kent's landlady and is aware of his secret identity as Superman.

Powers and abilities

Gsptlsnz possesses the same powers and weaknesses as other imps, including the ability to fly, teleport, and manipulate reality.

In other media

In subsequent appearances, Nyxly attempts to seek revenge on Brpxz and gain unlimited power from seven magic totems before being defeated and returned to the Phantom Zone.
