[edit] Fictional character biography

While Elizabeth Thorne was exercising vigilante justice on the streets of New York, she fell in love with the Vigilante, and was devastated when he killed himself. She was later brought into the Checkmate organization by Harry Stein.

Black Thorn is still at least semi-active, as she assisted Wonder Woman and a whole host of female heroes against the forces of Circe in New York City.[1]
