Description
WHO?!? You would ask. Former bodyguard to Bruce Wayne, turned Checkmate operative. Yeah, I went there. I dug through my old Bruce Wayne: Murderer issues and found her a compelling character. Probably cuz Greg Rucka was writing it. Maybe. But beyond those issues, she had her death faked and re-emerged as an agent of Checkmate, even the Black Queen. Who knew?You know she could have been DC’s Maria Hill, if you think about it. A good counter to Amanda Waller and even now in the DCnU she could be Maxwell Lord’s right hand. Her backstory doesn’t have to change much, just some tweakin.

hey man not bad! i like Checkmate i have a few issues from volume 1 but i have about half the issues from the Rucka series. i also like your analogy between Bourdeaux and Maria Hill.

Thanks! Yeah, its too bad Checkmate hasn't really made it out of the gates yet, its such a weird organization. Good people running it, bad people running it. Bourdeaux and Hill, I think, could have been the same character, someone who rose to high ranks for other people intentions. But in the end, it seemed that Checkmate was more of a plot device than its own character. And in the DCnU, they tried to make the Blackhawks into that SHIELD like organization. A shame, really.

well part of the problem is that when Rucka left in the 2nd series it went down hill and was canceled just a few issues later. by the way i hope you don't mind i posted your piece on my Sucide Squad blog [link]

Yeah, she got infected with Brother Eye technology, or something like that. So like 20% of her body is artificial.
