In Seattle Washington today, at DC’s panel for Emerald City Comic Con, fans were finally given new news about the mysterious lady who first appeared in Flashpoint #5 and then subtly cameo’d in every #1 issue of DC’s New 52 titles.

Some people sadly wont have the money, will have ended up getting a room that might’ve been 5th or 6th on their desired list More >

But unbeknownst to even them, their ancestors held a dark secret: they were a clan of ninja in feudal Japan, in the employ of a prominent leader.
