History

NightingaleHS.jpg

A dark and moody hero, Nightingale is usually seen with her partner, Sunbird. They first appeared in the early 1990s and continue their heroic activities to this day. A cat has also been seen roaming the streets with them, but according to creator Kurt Busiek, the feline doesn't seem to be much of a team player.

Equipment

In addition to being a skilled acrobat and martial artist, Nightingale can project a mist-like field of darkness. As Sunbird is the super-powered half of the team, this would seem to be a function built into Nightingale's costume rather than a bonafide power.

Speculations, Theories

  • It's wildly speculated that Nightingale and Sunbird are lesbians, but they neither confirm nor deny the allegations. It has also been speculated that they might be sisters, or perhaps a mother and daughter team of crime-fighters.
  • There seems to be an informal camaraderie among these street fighting superheroes. A common core of them associate with each other on many occasions. Crackerjack, Jack-in-the-Box, Quarrel, Sunbird, and Nightingale cross paths often. Depending on the time-range, you might also include Street Angel in the mix, along with the Irregulars.
