Pre-Crisis
Natasha Knight was a female human who was orphaned on the streets where she managed to evade the police and child welfare authorities. This was until one day when she was 12 years old when she was begging and met Charles Knight. The millionaire decided to take the young woman into his townhouse where he never adopted her but became a father figure to her. Years later, she had matured into a young woman when her guardian failed to return home. It was then that the police arrived to inform her that Charles Knight had been killed by a rival gang. Natasha Knight then came to learn that Charles Knight's life had been funded through criminal ventures with her becoming accustomed to the riches provided by such a life. Though initially shocked, she decided to similarly engage in criminal acts to fund her lavish lifestyle as she did not wish to become poor again. On the day of his funeral, she came to meet her adoptive father's biological son Anton Knight who knew of her from his fathers letters. Smitten with her, he offered to help fund her by committing robberies and following his fathers life of crime. (Batman v1 #363)
