Jade Nguyen (infamously known as Cheshire) is one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. She serves as a member of the League of Assassins and is both the enemy and occasional lover of Nightwing's ally, Arsenal.[1]
History[]
The Noble, Obnoxious, and The Inept[]
Chesire arrives in Gotham City, having been tracked by Arsenal and by extension, Robin (as he was tracking down the League of Assassins) and lures them on a boat near Gotham City harbor and distracts both her trackers and Nightwing with assassins and makes a hasty exit as the group fight amongst one another. Enacting her real plan to use a super weapon to render Gotham City's air breathable and kill all those in the city, the group of heroes intervene and battle Cheshire and her assassins. Underestimating their capabilities due to their status/former status as sidekicks, she is later defeated by Nightwing and her plot with the League of Assassins is thwarted by Robin an Arsenal.[2]
