Ether is a rather obscure super-hero who was a member of an old version of Shadow Cabinet team. Ether's version of Shadow Cabinet was led by Red Dog. Red Dog's Shadow Cabinet was active from the late 1800s until the mid-1900s.

Alongside Red Dog and fellow teammates from that version of Shadow Cabinet (Munition, Bend Nature, The Magnate), Ether faced off against Dharma (who led the new, modern Shadow Cabinet) in Shadow Cabinet #17 (Oct. 1995).

Little or no commentary or biography has been written about Ether. At this point we do not even know the character's gender.
