One night she had a dream where she
spoke to the wise Oracle who told her to become a hero once
more. This time however she did something no other person
had done to help the world. Not even Batman or Superman.
Oracle made her "on-line" debut helping the Suicide Squad as
a mysterious hacker who had invaded the squad's database,
and she eventually became a member of the team (under the
alias "Amy Beddoes") and the Squad's leader Amanda Waller's
second-in-command. When the Suicide Squad ended, Oracle
continued with her work as a free-lance. She became more and
more interesting and useful as personal computers and the
internet became more prevalent in everyday life and has
emerged as the premiere investigator and information broker
in the DCU. The superheroes of the world come to her to
handle the tasks too big for their superpowers and she has
always come through to them. Physically confined to a
wheelchair, she is intellectually unrestricted by any
barriers. She is a presence throughout the world, watching,
tracking, and getting involved, via her operatives and
allies, where she believes her and their combined skills
could help out. And she "sits" at the round table, taking
her place amongst the DCU pantheon as the JLA's resident
Athena, the goddess of wisdom. She is one of the few heroes
long with only Robin & Nightwing -- who operates within
the confines of Gotham City with the Batman's blessing and
encouragement.
