Flashback Friday: Roxy Rocket

Each Friday, I take one of the entries from my old Super Posts and expand it into its own featured article.

This week: Roxy Rocket!


Roxy Rocket is a rare DOUBLE canon immigrant. She first appeared in Batman Adventures Annual #1 (January 1994), a comic series based on Batman: The Animated Series and set in its continuity.  Her gimmick, and it's a good one, is that she's a stunt actress who was fired for trying to make stunts too dangerous, so she turned to crime to get her thrills that way.


She later appeared in the series proper in the episode "The Ultimate Thrill" (1998).


Her first comics appearance was a cameo in Detective Comics #822 (August 2006)...


...though her first full appearance wasn't until Batgirl (vol. 3) #6 (January 2010).


And that's pretty much it for her outside a few out-of-continuity appearances here and there, although she did get a cameo in Justice League of America: Rebirth #1 (February 2017), which means she survived the New 52. Not everyone can say that!
