History[]
They say only sailors and cops can here Lorelei's call, which sounds like a peaceful and seductive song that is often heard when people are close to death, which is happening a lot in Central City.
Lorelei constantly calls out to the Spirit from her real in death and each time, sensing whenever he is near to seeing her again due to the dangerous and violent situations he puts himself in as the protector of Central City. She waits in darkness for him to be with her each time he dies but he always forces himself to resist her siren-like calls and returns to the land of the living, The first time was when he was killed as a police officer but was revived by The Octopus due to serum.
After being stabbed by Plaster of Paris, Denny is ready to give up and falls into the water. Lorelei appears and tells him to finally let go of the pain and suffering he endures and to give up and be with her, He accepts and Lorelei is ecstatic, she pulls him in and the two embrace in a passionate kiss. He is surrounded by her glowing aura as his life-force begins to wain. "It is done" she exclaims and while in a limbo state, he remembers the women he has known in his life and most importantly his childhood sweetheart, Sand Saref.
Denny realises that those women still need him. "Nah, Lorelei you're not for me just yet." he says and breaks the kiss in which he slowly begins to revive. "I will always be with you Denny Colt, you won't escape me forever!" she cries and disappears into the shadows once again.
