History Her dual partnerships are unique. She was the younger sidekick to Sunshrike, but seems to be the strong mentor and motherly companion to Sunbird. In the early 1980s, A cat was also a part of their entourage, seen many times roaming the streets with them. Not atypical of the species and according to creator Kurt Busiek, the feline doesn't seem to be much of a team player. EquipmentIn 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
