Ed's Notes: The last of the Crime Syndicate adaptations. (For now. lol) I've mainly wanted to do the original five for some time now. So... good to get that out of my system. The stats above are third edition, with the exception of the Lasso which is 2nd Edition. (And which was nerfed in 3rd Edition, lowering the control to just 5?! Maybe that was a typo?) But since it works a bit differently anyway, I figured I'd bump it back up. (And now that I've looked at it, I'm not sure that the "5" in 3rd edition isn't a typo that should say "15!") I left her Connections to Themyscira intact, figuring she probably just conquered it. (Otherwise, she'd lose the Connection and gain the Forced Exile Drawback.)

Ed's Notes: Arguably the most well known supporting character in comic book history. (Maybe tied with Commissioner Gordon?)


2nd Edition rates here Detective Skill at 2. The BG/R Book boils her Drawback into a Catastrophic Irrational Attraction to getting into trouble. Which seems... Unnecessarily vague to put it charitably. Other than the Detective of 2, the MoS sourcebook is identical to the Who's Who, describing her Drawback the same way as is done here, only rating it as a Catastrophic Irrational Attraction.

And, since it was still pretty recent (less than a month ago) at the time that I'm writing this...
