Hotwire is a young electrokinetic heroine from Gotham City.

Hoping to prove herself a hero, she investigated a rumor about a shade deal by Rupert Thorne in the harbor. She was overzealous and went in, not realizing Batman and Robin were there as well. The thugs were easily defeated, but she set off a fuel storage that caused a large explosion. Batman berated her for ruining his own investigation, as this stunt would lead Thorne to lay low for months.

As they were finishing up, Thorne's hired muscle Bane revealed himself. Robin was taken out early in the fight, which Hotwire ended by charging Bane with her powers. Batman was impressed, but still considered her a liability due to her inexperience. He sent her to Martian Manhunter for further training.
