History
Barbara Gordon was born to James Gordon and Barbara Eileen Gordon in Chicago. When she was only five years old, they moved to Gotham City when her father transferred to the Gotham Police Department. She grew up idolizing her father and wanted to be an officer of the law just like him. She trained hard and studied harder, finding herself having a far above average intelligence level. After graduating highschool, she got accepted into Gotham U where she studied law.
Three years after she was born, her brother came into being. Growing up together, she always felt something was off about him. He talked little, had no friends, and she would often find the corpses of animals James Jr. had strangled or knifed to death. She afraid of him and even more afraid to tell her parents about him. Only when he went off to some far off boarding school did she feel relieved.
During college, rumors of a vigilante in black sweeped the city. This excited Barbara immensely, so much she made her own costume and prowled the streets hoping to stop criminals herself. Unlike the nameless vigilante, Barbara was less successful in keeping pictures of herself from leeking during her nightly escapades and the media eventually dubbed her "Misfit." The first few times she was successfully able to stop a mugger or a purse snatcher here or there. After about two months at it, she came to face to face with a true psychopath - The Joker. That whole night afterwards was a blur though she was sure of one thing - the vigilante saved her life...but not her legs.
Now's she graduated college, bound in a wheelchair, and still ready to do her part in stopping crime in Gotham City as the anonymous super hacker - Oracle.
