Just because the source material isn't epic doesn't mean they won't take huge artistic liberties to make their take on a creature on par with the shows other supes. The inspirations for the kanima had nothing to do with paralyzing venom, yet here we are. How many werewolf myths talk about their memory-claw abilities and healing hands? There are myriad directions they could go with this species. Even if Lydia's only "offensive" power is her piercing wail, she could still play a supportive role - the twins, Scott and Isaac were overwhelmed by her scream. No matter what obscurities we pick out from the multitude of "wailing womam" legends around the world, Davis's take on the Banshee may have nothing Banshee-like besides the screaming and being drawn to death, just like the kanima's only similarity to real world mythology was its pseudo-role as a creature of vengeance.
