Changes: Delilah Tyler (New Earth)

Tyler was trained by the original, the now-elderly Sandra Knight, and given Knight's costume and equipment.^[1] It was heavily implied ^[2] that she was not alone in being thus trained and equipped. Dee also learned many of her skills at the exclusive Université Notre Dame des Ombres (Our Lady of the Shadows). Her primary abilities are an extensive knowledge of the martial art called Savate, also known as French kickboxing, a wrist-mounted blaster, and a holographic projector that can be used to cast powerful illusions.

She was hired to protect a defecting Russian scientist as he toured North Africa looking for new ways to poison food, his specialty. Although they were targeted for assassination by Merlyn and Syonide, she was able to defeat the villains, with the help of the Flash.^[3]

Death

See also: Infinite Crisis

Tyler was killed (along with at least two other Freedom Fighters) in a battle against The Society.^[4] The group were ambushed while investigating the meeting place of other supervillians. Tyler was wounded by the Cheetah and then fatally impaled by Deathstroke. Her body was hung on the Washington Monument along with the Human Bomb and Black Condor.
