[edit] Fictional Character Biography

Tilda Johnson was born into poverty in New York City. At an early age, she discovered that she had a natural aptitude for science. As a teenager, she used her extensive knowledge to begin a career of crime. The Yellow Claw helped her develop a method for turning normal humans into obedient werewolf-like creatures, but the pair were defeated by Captain America.

She later worked with the criminals Stiletto, Discus, Man-Mountain Marko, and the Eel, but they were defeated by Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

Nightshade later appeared as second-in-command of Superia’s Femizons.
