Notes

• Eve Eden actually has blond hair and wears a black wig as Nighshade.
• This version of Nightshade, including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022–2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
• This Nightshade version is considerably less powerful than her modern counterparts.
  

Trivia

• For a brief time in 1983, before the rights to Charlton Comics characters were purchased by DC, AC Comics was able to license the characters, and in Americomics Special #1, a superhero team called the Sentinels of Justice debuted, with Blue Beetle being one of the members. This version of the team would never be seen again after DC's purchase of Charlton's characters.
