Origins:
 
Lisly Bonner was an up-an-coming investigative reporter for the Gotham Flame. She infiltrated the Whittaker family mob to expose corruption in the city. Unfortunately, when a recording device was found on her person, Boss Whittaker shot her three times with a .38 calibre weapon, twice in the stomach and once in the head.
Despite these wounds, Lisly managed to survive. She awoke in a hospital, discovering that she had power over the minds of men. She decided to use that power to gain revenge on the Whittakers. She adopted the name Gretel, and began killing the entire Whittaker family, despite interference on Batgirl's part.
