Elaine Thomas is the mother of Duke Thomas.
History
Origins
Some time before the birth of her son, Elaine Thomas was given an offer by The Immortal Man to become immortal and join his Immortal Men. Elaine refused and went on the run away from the father of her child, Gnomon, eventually finding her way to Gotham City.
Elaine and her husband were targeted by the Joker, who planned to murder them in front of their son. While Batman was able to save their lives they both fell victim to the mind-controlling gas the Joker released and went missing while Batman escaped with their son.
Rescue
Elaine was actually kidnapped by order of Alan March, Man-Bat's father-in-law, in order to study her condition to find a cure for Kirk's affliction. Although Match had good intentions he eventually kept her and other Jokerized victims as guinea pigs after he had become exposed to both Man-Bat Serum and Joker Venom and needed a cure, luckily for her Batman and the Outsiders managed to track her down and after defeating March Metamorpho cured all the Joker's victims.
Duke helped her through her recovery and introduced her to the rest of the team and, eventually, revealed his double life as Signal to her.[1]
