Halo (Gabrielle Doe) is a superheroine appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. She first appeared in a special insert in The Brave and the Bold #200 (July 1983) and was created by Mike W. Barr and Jim Aparo.[2]

The character's origin involves spirit possession, with an alien being resurrected and possessing the body of a recently murdered woman and resurrected her. Halo initially suffers from amnesia, having no access to the memories of either the alien or the human host.

Halo has made limited appearances in other media, primarily in association with the Outsiders. She is voiced by Zehra Fazal in Young Justice.
