Elise Kimble's father walked out on her mother when she was a toddler. Her mother was cold and distant during her childhood, and she became a killer-for-hire during her adolescence, killing her mother when she found out. She was approached by Clock King, who told her that she was an ancestor of the 30th Century criminal Nyeun Chun Ti the Persuader. In the wake of the Dark Side Club's metahuman slaves being unleashed on Los Angeles, she and her teammates escaped, to make their own way.
