Amunet Black (Katee Sackhoff) is a major antagonist in the fourth season (2017-2018) of the TV series "The Flash", and the nemesis to Killer Frost.
Amunet Black is a crime lord in Central City. She was originally known as Leslie Jocoy, a stewardess. After inhaling a narcotic made from the pollen of a flower called Rappaccini's Daughter, Amunet was temporarily given the power to read minds. In addition, she was struck by the energy of the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle accelerator, that altered her DNA and supercharged her cells, augmenting her physiology. When she received her powers, her first victims were staff members who had previously groped her.
Amunet sells stolen technology in the meta-human black market. She owned technology that caught Caitlin Snow's attention. Desperate, she decided to use the technolgy, but in exchange for using it, Amunet made her the "muscle" of her operations.
Six months later, Caitlin decied to leave her job at Amunet's. Amunet then found a man she nicknamed "The Weaper", who was affecte by the wave of dark matter after Barry Allen came out of the Speed Force. She kidnapped the Weeper and locked him in chains because his tears are psycho-active. She then proceeded to sell the tears as a drug at her bar.
After three weeks, Amunet sent Norvock to "pick Caitlin up" and return her to her job. Frost later confronted Amunet at her bar and attempted to get Frost back again for her to guard The Weeper, a valuable product in the underground market. Frost insisted on quitting, leading tension to build in their powers, until Iris interrupted them and left with Frost. Amunet let them be, making her "think she can walk away".
Amunet confronted Frost, surprised as she was expecting one of Amunet's lackeys. Amunet emerged victorious as she then repeatedly jabbed Frost's face with her metal fist, until the police arrived and were shot as well. Amunet looked back at Caitlin, who was suddenly gone.
Later, Amunet found businessmen who were interested in buying The Weeper, interested in using the meta's special tears to fabricate and mass-produce a new brand of narcotic. She then saw Felicity and Iris, who were caught attempting to interrupt the transaction. Amunet immediately recognized Iris from the bar. Caitlin shows up for a final confrontation, as Amunet ordered the men to fire at her, but Caitlin sent forth a powerful gust of cold and freezing air to knock Amunet's associate lackeys down, before emerging from the fog in her Killer Frost form, who protected herself along with Iris and Felicity in a sturdy ice dome. Amunet was ready for one last shot at the women, when Cecile turned on the crane magnet, which attracted Amunet's pieces of metal. Frost was getting ready to kill Amunet with a sharp icicle. Humiliated and defeated (deprived of The Weeper, her captive), Amunet vowed to ruin something for Frost one day, and escaped.
Clifford DeVoe and his wife agreed to pay her a huge sum of money if she found the meta-human named Dominic Lanse and brought him to them unharmed. Unfortunately, she shot him in the neck when he was trying to escape her. She kidnapped Caitlin due to her medical experience to save Dominic. She brought Caitlin to Dominic and forced her to do surgery on him, threatening to kill her if she didn't. Caitlin and Dominic attempted escape but Amunet apprehended them and kept on close eye on them for the remaining procedure. Caitlin sneakily released sleeping gas during the procedure and Amunet and her men fell asleep. Amunet woke up shortly afterward and was about to attack them again before they were rescued by Cisco and Ralph. However, later Amunet knocked Dominic out and presented him to Marlize.
A few months later, Amunet was given an offer by Gregory Wolfe to sell several metahumans to her and give them to Clifford Devoe. Later that same day, Ralph Dibny, disguised as Wolfe, went and sneaked into her base of operations and asked to stop the sale from occurring. During their conversation, Amunet found out the Dibny wasn't the real Wolfe and chased him out of her hideout. Angry, Amunet called the real Wolfe to ensure that the metahuman were still locked up which he lied to her about. When Amunet arrived later on, finding that the metahumans had escaped, she was disappointed and decided to take down the metahumans herself. Before any of this could happen, Becky Sharpe knocked her out using her luck based powers.
During the Anti-Monitor Crisis, Amunet as well as everyone in the multiverse except for the seven Paragons, were killed in an antimatter wave by the Anti-Monitor. They were later restored a month later, after the Paragons and the Spectre created a new universe.
Around Valentine's Day, Amunet broke into the restaurant where Barry and Iris were to steal a guy's suitcase. Barry failed to apprehend her because she knew his secret identity and threatened to reval it if he pursued her. She led her gang on waging war against Keith and his crew. Both sides sought a rare flower that could grant telepathic abilities, which would be of great help for crimes.
To steal the flower, they needed two machines to create a stable artificial environment for the flower, one of which Amunet already obtained. Their conflict was interrupted by Barry and his wife, "Iris West-Alien", who managed to steal the second machine while Amunet and Keith argued about their relationship. Deciding to let Amunet do all the work of getting back the second machine, Keith and his crew simply waited at the flower's location for her to show up with both. His plan worked, and he was ready to fight her and her crew for it, including Barry and "Iris".
Amunet and Keith argued and fought, distracting themselves while Barry, as The Flash, used his powers to incapacitate their men. He then interrupted to try reasoning with them, but Keith refused and used his powers to launch The Flash away due to the gold in his suit. "Iris" then got her husband to destroy the flower with lightning. This resulted in Amunet and Keith reading each other's minds and realizing their love for each other, making out and making love on the spot.
