I guess I might as well get familiar with the Corral now that eBay has killed their comics discussion board!
Sorry if my trivia is too trivial, but I can't rest until I find the answers to my pointless questions!
I'm reading the Salvation Run TPB, and as a villains freak I must identify all characters I don't already know (I'm a bit anal that way!).
In issue #5 of the series Catwoman is brought into the camp being carried about the neck by a tall, muscular woman with black hair.
I can't figure out who this female villain is. I've checked all the lists of characters (on Wikipedia & such) and can't find any character matching this woman.

I'll check when I get home this afternoon and see if I can identify the character.
Welcome back capt., you're always welcome at the good ol' Corral!

Capt., I've been through the whole series and I can't find one single appearance of this character, outside of the one panel where she is holding Catwoman. If I had to guess I would say that she's one of Granny's Female Furies, but other than that, I have no idea.

I was able to identify one character that had me in a quandry: The Joker gets shot through the shoulder by an archer, the archer turned out to be "Split-Shot", one of the "Superior Five" that first appeared in Villains United and who are knock-offs of the old Inferior Five.
Split-Shot is an analog to "White Feather".
I've found that the only lists of characters available on the internet for Salvation Run are incomplete and have omitted several characters that appear in the book - most of the Superior Five, I found either Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum in the book, and a character that can only be "Funky Flashman" from the old Secret Society of Supervillains, and one of the "Double Dare" twins.
(And, of course, whoever the big chick that snares Catwoman is!)

I initially thought it might be one of the Furies too, jdb.
But considering that no other New Gods were included in the villains sent to the prison planet and the planet turned out to be a training ground for Desaad & the forces of Darkseid, it seems unlikely that one of the denizens of New Genesis or Apokolips would've been sent there by the authorities on earth.
However, she does resemble "Duchess" of the old Suicide Squad who was secretly "Lashina" of the Female Furies.
I wish there was a way to confirm this stuff, but unfortunately the series didn't garner enough attention to have anyone annotate it.
