Sparrow (AKA: Jubilation Lee) is an Amalgam Comics character and sidekick to Dark Claw. She first appeared in Legends of the Dark Claw #1. Sparrow is a combination of Robin of DC Comics and Jubilee of Marvel Comics. It is notable that in the Marvel vs DC storyline, these two characters actually had a relationship during the crossover.

[edit] History

Jubilation Lee was a young girl who had training in police skills, and pilot training, as well as superhuman powers. With this to her advantage, Jubilation was recruited by Dark Claw to pilot his Claw-Copter, after she stumbled on his base by accident. He gave her the codename 'Sparrow (although she wanted to be "Death-Urge overdrive")

However, Sparrow never got on with Dark Claw's second partner Huntress (a combination of Ms. Marvel from Marvel Comics and Huntress from DC Comics), who also knew of Dark Claws' secret identity. It is unknown why Sparrow disliked Huntress, but she constantly referred to the newcomer as "The Slut" rather than her actual name.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Sparrow can shoot blasts of super-charged plasma (in the form brightly colored "fireworks") from her hands which can strike an enemy with blinding light and concussive force.
