I'm an orphan, Deathstroke. The last of my line. "Homo Magi"—the Royal House of the Land of Nightshades—a realm of dark shadows. Tell me—how does your technology fare against magic—?
— Nightshade src

Eve Eden is Nightshade, a Homo Magi hero from the Land of Nightshades and a former member of the Suicide Squad.

Nightshade joined Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad to help her brother, but was ultimately the last of her family. After leaving the Squad, she continued to work in intelligence operations as a freelancer and was employed to recover the Ann Key, a bioweapon, from Deathstroke.[1]

She was acquainted with Ted Kord during his time as the Blue Beetle,[2] serving alongside him with a team of heroes.[3] With Kord, their one-time teammate the Question, and Captain Atom, Nightshade ventured to Mars to confront Doctor Manhattan, accused of attempting to kill Superman, alongside many others from the superhero community.[4]

Eden met with the Sisterhood of the Sleight Hand at the Oblivion Bar,[5] and participated in the evacuation of Myrra when it was threatened by the Lords of Order.[6] She was again present in the bar when it came under attack by Jadestone, a Green Lantern-powered Amazo android seeking the Tower of Fate for the United States Government's Bureau of Sovereignty. With her fellow patrons, she fought to stop the android, but was ultimately unsuccessful.[7] She was there in conversation with Sargon the Sorcerer when Superman entered the bar, demanding that the magic-users join him in action against the Bureau.[8]

All In

Nightshade later joined the roster of the Justice League Unlimited, and tended bar at the eponymous "Nightshade's" on the League's satellite headquarters, the Watchtower.[9] She joined her fellow Leaguer Hawk in defending the Watchtower promenade from an attacking robot in the likeness of the supervillain Conduit, though both heroes were quickly taken out by their robotic opponent.[10] The following day, she was interrogated by Watchtower security chief the Question on the whereabouts of Batwoman, a suspect in a series of strange occurrences that included the android's attack.[9]

Nightshade was later mind-controlled by the robot's puppeteer, the Cyborg Superman, who made her free the Cyborg and his ally the Eradicator and dispatch the Question and her support team.[11] She dispatched Batman under the Cyborg's influence, but she fought against it, claiming to have killed Jaime Reyes, the Blue Beetle, and eventually shook off his control with the help of the Question—albeit only briefly before she and the Question's other allies fell back under his sway[12] until the Cyborg was ultimately dispatched by Montoya.[13]

Nightshade returned to the employ of the United States Government through the Department of Extranormal Operations, and was mentally controlled by fellow DEO agent and supposedly-reformed supervillain Hector Hammond while he fought against Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Star Sapphire Carol Ferris, and Dawn Granger, Dove.[14]
