Charlotte Gage-Radcliffe is an overzealous girl with magical powers who attempted to become the next Batgirl after Cassandra Cain retired from the role. Charlotte was convinced to give up being Batgirl but shortly returned with her new identity of the Misfit.

History[]

Batgirl-CGR

Charlotte as Batgirl

Charlotte was a young Batgirl fan who had spent most of her life suppressing her natural magical powers, but when a fire broke out in her mother's apartment complex Charlotte tried to save her family with her abilities. Unfortunately, Charlotte couldn't use her powers safely and at her mother's orders Charlotte teleported herself to safety while her family perished. Alone, Charlotte decided to use her powers to ensure that nobody would suffer a loss like she had.

Charlotte created a homemade Batgirl costume and attempted to become the newest Batgirl. This caught the attention of Oracle and she sent the Birds of Prey out to see who was using her old identity without her permission. To the shock of the Birds, Charlotte was aware of who they were and revealed that she had been inside Oracle's Clock Tower numerous times without Oracle's knowledge and that she considered them to be her surrogate family. Charlotte then teleported into the Clock Tower to get Oracle's approval to be Batgirl. But to her shock, Oracle found her to be be unfit to be Batgirl. After Oracle showed Charlotte photos of Stephanie Brown's autopsy and told her that this was the fate of heroes who weren't ready, Charlotte gave up her Batgirl costume but told Oracle she would always be a hero.

Weeks later, Charlotte returned in a new costume as the Misfit, and Oracle begrudgingly took the new hero under her wing as she realized that Charlotte wouldn't quit and would rather she be trained than end up hurt or worse. Misfit became part of the Batman Family after Batman was believed to be dead and used her powers to teleport medical supplies to hospitals.

Powers[]

Misfit has the magical power to "bounce", a power that allows her to teleport any location she can think of with the limitation that she cant take anything alive with her without killing it. She can also use her magic to shield herself from sensors and can rapidly heal from any injury.
