Barbara Gordon is the adopted daughter of James Gordon, the police commisioner of Gotham City. She was one of the best and the brightest, having an eidetic momory and olympic level gymnastics skills. At an early age, she was impressed by the dark figure of the Batman and ended up becoming Batgirl in order to imitate him. Her career as Batgirl went on for many years before she put the costume away and decided to focus more on what she could do working with the system. Unfortunately, this was not meant to be, as the Joker kidnapped her and her father one fateful day and paralyzed her from the waist down. She spent months recuperating and learning to take care of herself in her new state, searching for a purpose. During this time, she was taught by Richard Dragon, among others. Eventually, she discovered cyberspace and that was that. She has since become the foremost hacker in the crime-fighting community, working with people from all over the community. She is currently teamed up with the Black Canary, whom she uses as her mission specialist.
