DC Character Facts.
Even though she looks human Wonder Woman is
in fact a clay sculpture that was given life by the gods. Made by Hipollyta queen of the amazons of Paridise Island who
she considers her mother as it was her that wanted Diana/Wonder Woman as her daughter. Diana won the right to be an amazon
imbasedor to "man's world" and has been a part of the Justice League for a long time. Hippolyta was one of the heroes
that met their end during the "Our Worlds at War" serries.
In DC Comics their have been two heroines
from two seprate Earths that have taken up the name of The Huntress.The first one was Selina Wayne Daughter of Bruce Wayne
and Selina Kyle (Batman &Catwoman) of Earth2 where the JSA had their base of operations before the Crisis On Infinate
Earth series.
The second Huntress is known as Helena Rosa Bertinelli
believed to be the daughter of Franco Bertinelli who was killed by her true father the crimeboss Don Cassamento.
Helena found this out and had her uncle kill him leaving her and him the only
parts of the family still living. She took the garb of Batgirl for a while when Batman was away, yet Oracle (the original
batgirl) nor Batman realy approved of this. Huntress has been involved with Nightwing and a guy named Vic Sage.
There have also been 3 male Robins in
the mainstream DC world. The first was Dick Grayson who debuted in Dective Comics #38. He was also one of
the original Teen Titians. He later became Nightwing, and is currently part of the Outsiders. The Second Robin was
Jason Todd he didn't last long as robin and was killed by the Joker, lately though he came back and was the second
person to become the Redhood, he has
now become the Red Robin (with a costume simular to that of Kingdome Comes Red Robin). The third Robin
is Tim Drake who was involved in Young Justice and has now become a Teen Titan (Just like the original Robin).
Stephanie Brown was very much like the 2nd Huntress in many ways her father was also a criminal known as
Cluemaster. She was at first the 3rd Robin's ally going by the name of Spoiler. Since they first
met Spoiler has had a crush on Robin who though, he liked her Robin felt she was untrained. Spoiler and the 2nd Batgirl
also became freinds, yet even Batgirl thought that Spoiler wasn't up to the task. Batman became aware of Spoiler,
and with Tim joining the Titians, he took her under his wing and made her the 4th Robin. She was also the first genuine
girl Robin(In the mainstream DC Universe). Batman though regretted his descision and "fired" her going so far
as to tell her not to become Spoiler again. She was killed by Black mask in the War Games story line.
While Powergirl possess some powers that are simmular
to those of the Superman bloodline she is not related to this worlds Superman, though she is a Kryptonian. Powergirl
was also believed to be the Grandaughter of Arion the first king of DC comics Atlantis before it fell beneath the sea.
She was encased in a magical crystal in order to protect her and flung 45,000 yrs into the future (modern day DC
world). The Infinite Crisis tale though (which reintroduces the Golden Age Superman of Earth 2, and the Original Superboy),
claims that she is from one of the other earths that got merged during the original Crissis on Infinite Earth series. So
she is in essence Earth 2's (previously the original/pre Justice Society's Earth) Supergirl cousin to that earth's
Superman (Golden Age Superman). So far Power Girl has been a part of many teams after she became part of the main DC
universe. Powergirl was a part of Justice League Europe which became the Justice League International. She became part
of the Justice League of America for a while, and is now part of the Justice Society of America (on this earth). She was also
a short term member of the Soveriegn Seven (when it was believed she was Arion's Grandaughter), and hung around with
the second Doom Patrol for a little while.
Speaking about Superman, he's
the 1 hero who's done just about everything, or had everything happen to him. dealing with parallel universes (Hypertime),
Battling foes from diffrent
comic companies (Image, Marvel, Darkhorse, etc),traveling through time, coming back from the dead, having a wife (who does
know his
secrate), having
people inpersonate him (take his mantle), having his home planet destroyed, having new powers, being two seprate people
at once, teaming up with many of his old foes at one time or another, having an arch rivial who was the president
of the U.S.A . Through it all Superman has come out on top.
Firestorm's origin is a very unique one since he
is the fused form of two men. He is both Ronald Raymond a college student and Professor Martin Stein a school professor
who knew a bit about nuclear physics since he was a designer of the Hudson Nuclear Facility. A bomb went off in that same
facility and the two were caught in the blast the reaction gave birth to Firestorm. The two men found the could conciously
eniciate a merge to form Firestorm. Firestorm then appears in place of the one who willed this merger to happen, and
after the merger the two men are left standing next to each other. Later on the Russian hero Pozhar merged with
Ronald to become the second Firestorm (controlled by Professor Stein), yet durring the Elemental Wars , Martien Stien
split off from this group to become the "Elemental" Firestorm. Ronald found out later that he was
able to become Firestorm "The Nuclear Man" all by himself. Currently Ronald is dead, though the powers of
the Firestorm personality has been given a new host in the form of Jason Rush.

Felicia Hardy also known as the Black Cat first came on
to the scene as a criminal, like her father in fact her first crime was to try and break her dying father out of jail. Her father did die though. Originaly she set up little
tricks so that people would assume that like a true black cat she was bad luck. She even had Spiderman convinced.
She eventualy saw the error of her ways and tried to refrorm and become a hero. Through science her latant mutant powers
were awakend, coincidently this gave her the power to adversly affect the luck of people around her. Usualy Felicia's powers
were dirrected at any one who intended her harm, yet because she couldn't realy control her powers she was a threat to
all those around her. Felica didn't have these powers for long though, since the "jinxed" Spiderman contacted
Dr. Strange who used magic to change Black Cat's powers giving her instead extendable claws, infered vision,
and superhuman balance and agility. Even these powers were taken away though . She was in love with Spiderman
for a while, yet it wasn't ment to last especialy since at first she seemed only to love Spiderman the hero and not Peter
Parker the man underneath the costume. Currently she is the proprietor of the Cats Eye Investigations private security
firm.

Ironman saw that Hawkeye had truly noble intentions, and sponsored him for Avengers membership. Since joining with the Avengers
Hawkeye has gone on a few solo missions. Hawkeye was also part of the Avengers Westcoast/Westcoast Avengers. During this time
Ironman helped Hawkeye refit himself with easier to use trick arrows. He recently signed on as the leader of the Thunderbolts
this didn't pan out for him to well as during this time he was arrested and sent to prison. Hawkeye returned to the Avengers only
