Bio
Urban Urchin !
Once in Detroit, Cindy uses her her powers to hideaway in the city's streets thereby protecting herself from prying eyes. After a while she becomes a mystery to the people of Cameron Street and some even come to think of her as an urban legend. Learning to become a street urchin in the most unusual of ways, Cindy keeps an eye on her adopted neighborhood and often gives a helping hand, as well as a thieving hand, to many of the locals.
She eventually ends up on a direct path to the newly drafted Justice League of America who had relocated to Detroit after their satellite headquarters is destroyed. The League had gone through a serious reshuffling of members with several of the original mainstays like Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman leaving. Having felt that the members of the League could not dedicate themselves as active participants, Aquaman proclaimed the disbanding of the team. However Zatanna, Elongated Man, and the Martian Manhunter stayed on and led by Aquaman opened the doors to recruit Steel, Vibe and Vixen.
In the Big League
Toward the end of her stay with the League, she has a premonition that two members of her league, Steel and Vibe are going to be killed. Professor Ivo sends an android to kill all of them, but Gypsy manages to find a conscience in the android that is sent to kill her. She convinces the android to not only spare her life, but to safely return her to her parents as well. Commander Steel and Vibe were not so lucky, as they were both killed by Ivo's androids. Shortly after she returns home, however the mad alien Despero arrives and murders her parents. Despero tries to kill Gypsy as well, but she was saved by a strong telepathic like bond to the Martian Manhunter. Along with the newer incarnation of the Justice League, Gypsy was avenged the death of her family.
Mysterious, Dangerous, and Beautiful
Quiet and distant during social settings, over time Gypsy grows even closer to J'onn J'onzz, having developed a sort of father/daughter relationship early on in their careers together. Their relationship grew as they both worked closely together in the Justice League Task Force. During such an assignment Gypsy is killed, but is miraculously returned to life by the Martian Manhunter, who pleads with his god Hronmeer to restore her life. Most recently she has joined the Birds of Prey and has begun learning martial arts in order to become a better fighter and more able to protect herself.
Most recently, Gypsy was captured by Clock King and brainwashed into participating in the Dark Side Club Tournament. She was quickly beaten in the first round by Hardrock, who simply flicked a piece of rock at her head. It hit her and knocked her out. She is not a member of the Martyr Militia, which was composed of most of the participants in the Dark Side Club Tournament so her current whereabouts and status are unknown.
Powers
Cat and Mouse
It has been stated that Gypsy's powers have reached their last stage of puberty, and she can now use her chameleon powers to cloak not only herself, but a moving vehicle and its passengers. It has also been revealed that Gypsy also has limited precognitive abilities. She also has appeared to be able to project her astral self from her body, being a mental yet incorporeal manifestation of her persona. Gypsy has shown as having the ability to project an illusion over herself in order to appear as another person, but that person needs to be her approximate height and weight for it to appear authentic.
Aside from her powers, Gypsy is an expert in hand-to-hand combat stealth. As she normally goes around barefoot, she can tread quietly and walk unheard with ease. She's also an accomplished acrobat, able to leap high, run fast, swim, and execute unexpectedly quick martial tactics with relative ease. Gypsy also has a strong aptitude in electronics and computers, and has become skilled in the use of firearms. She has been trained by Bronze Tiger, and Lady Shiva has offered to train her as well.
