Tiffany Fox (Prime Earth)

Maybe you and Jace are cool with just letting things play out. Maybe you're okay getting involved after the fact. I gotta be real with you, sis... Doing nothing... That doesn't work for me. I've got to meet bad things where they live.

— Tiffany Fox ^src

Tiffany Fox is the youngest daughter of the Fox Family.

History

Origins

Tiffany Fox was born to Lucius Fox, CEO of Wayne Enterprises, and Tanya Fox. She lived with her family in Gotham City. She was very young when her brother Tim was sent away to the Sanford Military Academy, leaving the two of them with not much of a relationship.

Batwing

After a trip to Africa, Batwing attracted the attention of the Marabunta, which swarmed the Fox home and attacked Tiffany's family. This forced the family to relocate to a more public location until things could settle down.

Eventually Russell Tavaroff wanted revenge on Batwing for a childhood incident and decided to join with Rat Catcher in order to kidnap Tiffany and her sister Tamara Fox. Tamara was eventually driven insane by the Rat Catcher, leaving Tiffany alone with him as bait to draw Batwing into the sewers below Gotham City.

Tiffany fought her captors and escaped to the upper levels of the sewers where she found Batwing, who revealed himself to be her brother. Together they escaped to the hospital where they were reunited once again.

Second Son

Tiffany was at the airport when her brother Tim, now going by Jace, arrived in Gotham. Aware of her brother Luke's activities as Batwing, she encouraged him to stop avoiding Jace, though her brothers' eventual argument resulted in Tamara collapsing.^[1]

Tamara's relapse forced her into a coma, with much speculation as to what the cause could be. Tiffany was angry as she saw the members of her family pushing the blame on factors other than Ratcatcher. She influenced Luke to suit up as Batwing and get a cure, his eventual failure forming a distance between them and leading to her forming a closer relationship with Jace.^[2]

Ultimately, her sister falling into a coma motivated Tiffany to begin training in martial arts.^[3]

Empire State of Mind

I Am Batman Vol 1 8 Textless Coipel Variant — Tiffany with Jace Fox.

While at Tamara's bedside, she suddenly woke up, much to Tiffany's shock.^[4] As a result of Tamara's physical rehab being located at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York, Tiffany moved along with her mother, Jace, and her sister into the Billionaires' Row in Manhattan.^[5] Tiffany's search for purpose eventually wound up with her helping her mother at the Fox Family Impact Fund Jobs Training Center.^[6]

Becoming a Hero

I Am Batman Vol 1 14 Textless — Tiffany as a vigilante.

While visiting the Washington Square, Tiffany witnessed a woman being kidnapped, almost springing into action until the police intervened. At the Training Center, Tiffany befriended a woman named Kayln, who was an ex-convict.^[7] When a man sporting the same gang tattoo as Kayln attempted to get her back into the criminal life, Tiffany sook out Jace and Tamara's advice, though they both told her to leave the situation alone. Unable to stand aside, Tiffany donned a mask and costume^[8] and confronted the gang. She convinced Kayln to walk away, and was able to easily dispatch the rest of the gang members when attacked, though the police arrived soon after. Detective Chubb confronted Tiffany, getting into a brief skirmish with the new vigilante before she was able to make her escape.^[9]

I Am Batman Vol 1 16 Textless — Family reunion.

When Jace tried to confront Tiffany about being a vigilante, she revealed that she knew he was Batman, stating that the family had too many lies. Tiffany showed her family Ezekiel King's message as he revealed the ransom for Jace's mom, forcing Tanya to admit that she was not his birth mother.^[10]

Although she pleaded with him to go into action, a dispirited Jace refused to go help his birth mother after the shocking revelation. Tiffany took matters into her own hands, gearing up and heading to the Helix, meeting Vol. With Detective Chubb and Strike Force Bat's help, along with Vol, Tiffany snuck into the Moral Authority's base, dispatching several combatants, until her brother finally joined her. Tiffany and Batman made their way inside and confronted Ezekiel King, but Batman's emotional state allowed them to be overtaken by the Moral Authority's sheer numbers. At that moment, Nobody intervened, intent on saving the lives of Tiffany and her brother.^[11]

Tiffany, along with Batman and Nobody, were able to defeat Ezekiel King and save Elena Aoki. Upon their success, Detective Chubb stated her intent to fold in Tiffany and Nobody into her Special Crimes Unit. Afterwards, she went on patrol with Batman while brainstorming the name of her new identity.^[12]
