— Cross Christina

Cross Christina was a volatile wannabe super-villain who battled the Teen Titans.

History

Hailing from wealthy families, Christina and her cohorts Grouse and Server Aja held hostages atop a factory when the Teen Titans came to their rescue. Despite putting up a decent battle the amateur villains were bested and hauled away by the San Francisco authorities, with Christina letting slip personal problems with her father were part of her motivation. While en route to prison, however, they received a bloody visit from Kestrel, who sought two new minions for his latest plans but would only allow two of the youngsters to join him for the sake of 'balance'. Christina jumped at the chance and she and Aja left with him as the only survivors of the encounter.

The two girls were led by Kestrel in an attack on Titans Tower and a rematch with the young heroes, who were aided by his enemies Hawk and Dove. The fight ended badly when Kestrel struck down Raven's Soul-Self and took it and his new servants into the chaos realm. Though shaken by the outcome the Titans found entry into the dimension and tracked them down within, where Christina eventually found herself on the losing end of an enraged Wonder Girl. In the end, however, Christina managed to talk her down and later double-crossed Kestrel - fueled by her 'daddy-issues' and general loathing of authority figures - by slashing him with his own claws, causing him to depart his latest body. Though the day was won and Raven's Soul-Self was restored Christina made it spitefully clear she and the heroes weren't friends.
