Name: Katherine Kane
Age: 28
Alias: Batwoman
Appearance: Batwoman,
KateSkills/Abilities:
- Acrobatics: Kate is quite skilled in gymnastics, having trained in the sport since she was very young and making it to senior elite level.
- Hand-to-Hand Combat (Advanced): Kate received basic training at West Point, then further, more intensive training in various martial arts during her travels around the world.
- Investigation: Kate has studied under experts in forensic science, law, behavioural science and criminology, learning methods both high-tech and old-school for tracking down criminals.
- Interrogation: While Batwoman does a lot of physical intimidation and violent interrogation work, she wouldn't torture or deliberately maim people.
- Intimidation: Kate can leverage her considerable presence, her excellent training in psychology and interrogation, being obviously willing and able to hit people really really hard, suddenly shifting toward protectiveness, etc. to achieve remarkable results.
- Gadgetry: Kate is adept in the art of tinkering with things both mechanical and electronic.
- Computer Hacking: Kate is capable of hacking and some basic programming, but more importantly, of keeping her own computers and gadgets from being hacked or traced.
- Stealth: Kate is a master of stealth, as noted by Batman, being so good that even Supergirl didn't notice her, even with her advanced hearing.
Weaknesses: Cardiac Weakness: During a previous confrontation with Intergang, Kane was stabbed in the heart by Bruno Mannheim. Since then, despite therapy and a healthy recovery, scarring remains and she is not as good as she might otherwise be.
History: The daughter of a pair of career soldiers, Kate often moved across the world as they were posted to different places. However, while they were living in Belgium, she was forced to bear the trauma of watching her mother and twin sister being executed by terrorists serving the Religion of Crime.
In an attempt to please her father, Kate entered the United States Naval Academy in order to train as a Marine officer. However, while at Annapolis she entered into a relationship with her room-mate, leading to her dishonourable discharge. Her father did not hold this against her, however, considering it more important that she had chosen not to lie in order to save herself.
Her father eventually married weapons heiress Catherine Hamilton. This new wealth established Kate as a socialite in Gotham City's upper crust. She became notorious for her partying and drinking.
One night after a party, she was pulled over by officer Renee Montoya. Instead of being fined for drink driving, the two entered in a relationship. They broke up when Renee told her she had no direction in her life, no education, and no apparent goal. She found her purpose soon enough: when she was confronted by a mugger in an alleyway, she was saved by Batman.
She decided to become a vigilante too. With her father's help, she travelled all over the planet for two years to learn how to fight. Her father used to family fortune and connections to come up with experimental weaponry.
