Shondra Kinsolving is a fictional supporting character in the DC Comics universe. She was introduced during the "Knightfall" storyline in Batman #486, (November 1992). She was created by Doug Moench and Jim Aparo.
[edit] Fictional character biography
Shondra is a trained physiotherapist who meets Bruce Wayne when he is dealing with exhaustion and helps to look after him after he is injured by Bane. The two begin to develop a romantic attachment but before Bruce could fully commit to her she is kidnapped by her half brother Benedict Asp, who turns her abilities to evil uses.
Asp reveals Shondra's healing powers and, along with his own psychic powers, uses her to telekinetically kill an entire village. Bruce eventually defeats Benedict, but the events traumatize Shondra. Her psyche regresses back into childhood but not before she heals Bruce's broken back.
Shondra is in the care of a foster family and is slowly recovering from her ordeal.
She's recently mentioned in the "Hush" storyline, when Barbara Gordon asks Alfred Pennyworth if they should call Shondra to operate on Batman after he fractures his skull. When Alfred asserts that she is not well mentally, Barbara informs him that "she got better," and may thus have recovered.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Shondra is a low level metahuman telekinetic with the ability to heal. Her powers can apparently be boosted (by other metahumans with psionic abilities) high enough to kill .
