- La Dama is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. La Dama is a leading figure in El Paso's criminal underworld who was nothing more than an urban legend. Anyone who crosses her will find out how real she is. Her true identity is Amparo, the aunt of Jaime Reyes' friend Brenda del Vacchio. After Brenda was hospitalized by the thugs that were defeated by Blue Beetle, La Dama was in the shadows as she tells the hospital staff to treats Brenda's friends as well. La Dama dispatches Diviner to test Blue Beetle and recruit him to her cause. This mission ends in failure. Amparo talks with Brenda at the restaurant La Petit Monde about her relationship with Jaime. Blue Beetle and the Posse work to spring Posse member Probe from La Dama's prison Warehouse 13 where they encounter La Dama's minion Headmaster. During the fight which also attracted the attention of Peacemaker and Phantom Stranger, Blue Beetle has his encounter La Dama and learns that she is Brenda's aunt. Phantom Strange notes that La Dama will use the villains in Warehouse 13 to make a private army out of them. In 2011, "The New 52" rebooted the DC Universe. In this continuity, La Dama claims to be an entity older than time. She uses the human alias of Amparo Cardenas and used other pseudonyms like "The Dame", "Lady Styx", and "The Queen of Beings and Things". La Dama killed Brenda del Vacchio's father so that she can take Brenda under her wing. La Dama speaks with Brutale on the phone about other people being after the Blue Beetle scarab and to get it before the other people can. This group turns out to be the Brotherhood of Evil. Brutale and his fellow operatives Bone-Crusher and Coyote compete with Brotherhood of Evil members Phobia, Plasmus, and Warp to obtain the Blue Beetle scarab as they attack Jaime and Paco. The Blue Beetle scarab then activates and turns Jaime into Blue Beetle. After both sides were defeated, La Dama kills Coyote for her agents' failure. (en)
