Batgirl by any other name...

There was an official Champions Universe female super hero who went by Batfox.  She was armed with ping pong paddles specifically to defeat Foxbat's ping pong ball gun.

 

I don't think she was an official CU character -- I believe she was the creation of Hermit.  But an excellent character, whom I have added to every Champions campaign I've run since Hermit first posted her on these boards.

The character is a cross between Batgirl and Silk Specter II.  She is a young girl trained, well, PUSHED really, from a very early age to wear the mantel of her mother, a retired super heroine.  
 
She has exceptional stats, but nothing REALLY superhuman, standard Super Hero Martial Arts, and a multipower with various ranged attack powers, all Range Based On STR, high levels of Running, Leaping and Swimming, and Swinging OAF Grapnel.  Her loving mother made sure she has all the skills a teenage girl would need while fighting crime at 3:00 AM - Acrobatics, Breakfall, Stealth, Lockpicking, Security Systems, Demolitions, the list goes on for 60+ points.
 
While she wears her mother's costume, she is a redhead while her mother was a blond.  So she gets a lot of "You're not the REAL Nightwalker."  Also, much like Silk Specter I, her mother's only real super power was being an Attention Whore.  She had a reputation for sleeping with most of the previous generation's male super heroes.  She was blamed for breaking up more than one super marriage, and if the rumors are true then she slept with more than a few male super villians as well, with perhaps a girl super here and there too.  This gets her some "Nightwalker?  Nightwalker was a whore" remarks.  Also, anyone with a background in either Law or English, PC or Player, might recognize that Nightwalker is an old style euphemism for prostitute.  
 
While she takes these remarks in stride, it does not take away from the fact that she does not know who her real father actually is.  While her mother regularly goes on a great length and embarrassing detail regarding the romantic escapades of her youth, she steadfastly refuses to discuss the PC's father.  That leads her to believe that her father probably was, in fact, a supervillian, and likely one of the worst of the lot.
 
She reluctantly embraces her role as costumed crime fighter, and has decided to focus her efforts on two fronts - Terrorist organisations and arms traffickers. As a result this has brought her into conflict several times with VIPER and ARGENT.
