Magpie is a fictional super-villainess who made several appearances in the DC Comics-owned Batman comic book series originally created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
[edit] History
First appearing in The Man of Steel #3 and later in Batman #401, Magpie was a jewel thief who specifically targeted jewels named after birds, and then replacing them with booby trapped replicas. She is named for the Magpie, who, in folklore is attracted to bright shiny things. It was revealed in Batman #651 that she had been killed when, during the first story arc of the Superman/Batman crossover, Superman asks Batman what happened to her, and Batman tells him that she is dead.
Although largely a minor character, Magpie appeared in Superman mini series Man of Steel #3 as the supervillain which Superman and Batman fought in their first Post-Crisis team-up.
She also had a brief affiliation with Poison Ivy who both escaped from Arkham Asylum.
As of One Year Later, Magpie is dead, having been killed, along with Orca, The Ventriloquist and Scarface, and KGBeast, villains working for The Penguin.
