I'm glad you mentioned Bloodlines. I had no idea who he was. Steel and Power Girl.

Batman is one of them

1. Batman
2. ???
Not:
Power Girl
Huntress
Superman
Steel
Azrael
Robin
HINT: This was one of Alan Grant's creations - she only appeared a few times. I thought she was rather brilliant - would have been a good fit in the Birds of Prey but Anarky and Hitman ended up being the big breakouts at that point

hmm, completely stumped on this one. Not familiar enough with that era to be able to guess.

It was NOT Anima
This was a character introduced in an earlier issue - a woman who was seeking revenge on society and chose a codename reflecting her rejection of modern civilization...

Not Anarky - this is a woman whose codename is often associated with people accused of witchcraft

Bah! I thought I was onto something there.
The Silver Sorceress in an unlikely crossover?

Since no one read this annual (you all apparently have better taste than me) I'm going to give it over to Ibby
The character's name is Pagan. She's awesome. Good design. Pugilist and acrobat who avenges women whose rapists are set free.
Over to Ibby!

oh! I actually KNOW that character! I read her introduction issue, where she beats up the two guys who raped her sister (and led to her sister's death I think). She really traumatized them, especially the first one whom she had for longer. I thought that was nice writing, really showing the consequences of a horrible act like rape. Almost wish she had had the second one for longer too, to really teach him a lesson (though she did a number on him too before Batman stopped her).
She didn't spring to mind because I didn't really think of her as a hero, that issue ended with Batman catching her and knocking her unconscious.
And I also think she didn't appear very much after that.
Nice one, Myg.

For the new Q:
When Crimson Fox appeared out of costume in the Red Winter storyline, which Justice Leaguer recognized her alter ego?
