Barnett

Barnett is a slim woman of medium-to-dark skin who keeps her dark brown hair gathered into a tall ponytail. Her courtroom look sets a red top beneath a tailored black suit and is capped by short-heeled black shoes.

Level-headed and practical, Barnett carries out her job with a strong sense of duty and no illusions about what the law can achieve. She keeps her feet on the ground yet extends real warmth, breaking hard news kindly and weighing genuine sympathy against the firm limits of what her office allows.

In her role as Chicago's district attorney, Barnett draws a relentless push from Scott Duvall, who is desperate for her to open an inquiry and put Invincible on trial after the destruction of the city claims his sister and niece. He and his wife bury her office in phone calls, emails, and even a petition, and every one of them goes ignored. Fed up, Scott finally corners her in a parking garage as she reaches her car and lays out his case, recalling the countless dead. Barnett hears him out with sympathy but reminds him that Invincible had been shielding the world from Omni-Man, and she quietly admits there is nothing within her power to do. That answer lands as another blow driving Scott toward his vengeance as Powerplex.
