History

The daughter of the villain known as the Dragon King, Cindy Burman was educated in the best schools in the world. Never wanting anything more than to please her father she followed in his criminal footsteps as the deadly blade wielding Shiv to battle Stargirl.

For years, the Dragon King had operated in secret in Blue Valley, kidnapping children and brainwashing the most physically and mentally capable specimens into soldiers for his army. It was his ultimate goal to conquer the United States by using his mind-control technology on a national scale to take over all of the young people, who were more susceptible to his technology than adults.

Their plans were thwarted when Courtney and her step-father and former All-Star Squadron member S.T.R.I.P.E. move their home to Blue Valley. In the course of the fight, her father was killed, leaving her with a deep anger and she swore revenge on Courtney.

She later became a member of the Injustice Society led by Johnny Sorrow.
