I know she was only a Bird for a little bit, but did you come up with a backstory for Judomaster? I know Geoff Johns did some stuff with her origin when he brought her over into the JSA after you left BOP, but did you ever plan on doing more with her?

Sigh.


Yes, I did have a backstory for her, and a whole character development. I didn't want to do the typical thing with her.


To be honest, I feel like she's one of the characters I failed on. I didn't get enough time with her to really show what she could do and be. I wanted her to become something very special. But I left the book for Wonder Woman, and Geoff picked her up and gave her some great screen time.


I have a couple characters I would love to have developed more. It happens, it's always a drag. The thing about Birds of Prey was always that the women were whole characters, not just a series of traits and tropes, at least, that's my feeling. We didn't get to develop JudoMaster beyond that stage.


I hope she's still around and someone will get the chance to give her a full, rich life outside of kicking and throwing people!
