History: (The Multiversity: Pax Americana #1) - Evie Eden grew up in a dysfunctional household. Her father was a politician who never gained her trust, and her mother was mentally ill, claiming she came from the Shadow Dimension. In 2008, President Harley, inspired by his father’s love of superheroes and his work on Major Comics, decided that America needed costumed heroes. Eve, took the costumed identity Eve of Shadows, and later Nightshade. Harley believed the world needed heroes to take them from the darkness, and he formed the super team Pax Americana, heroes intended to bring a millennia of peace to America. In NYC Harley announced his team to the world, and debuted Captain Atom, Earth-s only superhuman, who created three towers where the twin towers once stood. In 2015 President Harley was shot dead by Peacemaker. Harley had planned his own sacrifice, and was working on a scheme of redemption that relied on Captain Atom being able to restore him from the dead. Nightshade was on a mission in Syria while this was unfolding, and when she returned to Washington, her father informed her that he was now President, and he considered the superhero to be dead. He told her to say goodbye to her adoring fans, and sign autographs for them. Nightshade was furious, telling her father that he was ruining her life. Nightshade later tracked Question, who’d gone rogue, and he outfought her as he always did. He told her she thought the military-entertainment complex ruled the world, but told her the boards was run by a hunchback or a soldier (a question mark or an exclamation mark, or the mobius strip created by Captain Atom).

History: Eve Eden's mother Maureen was a queen in the extradimensional Land of the Nightshades who fled to Earth to escape the evil Incubus. Eve believed she was a normal child until her mother took her and her brother Larry on a trip to the Land of the Nightshades. The trip went awry when the Incubus killed Maureen and abducted Larry. With her dying breath Maureen told Eve that she possessed hereditary powers and made her promise to save Larry. Although Eve was able to teleport at will between Earth and the Land the Incubus prevented her from saving Larry on numerous occasions.

Eve joined the C.B.I. (Central Bureau of Investigations) and took on the identity of Nightshade. She went on a number of missions for King Faraday, who eventually recommended her to the Suicide Squad.
