Artemis and her sister, Jade, were trained and emotionally manipulated by Sportsmaster until their mother was released. Upon her return, Paula impressed upon her husband that she wanted a different life for their daughters. But Sportsmaster had other plans. The couple had a falling out, leading to a messy divorce that left Artemis alone with her mother, struggling to use of her skill set in a way that would make her mom proud.
She set out to be an amateur DC Super Hero working in Gotham City, where she was discovered by Batman; he knew the truth of her family and admired her desire to do some good in the world. He invented a backstory for her in which she was Green Arrow's niece so she could join the Young Justice team without suspicion. Artemis has no superhuman abilities, but has trained to become an Olympic-level athlete and marksman. She is an accomplished tracker, sharpshooter and hunter as well as a skilled thief.
The group was formed by the Wizard to challenge the Infinity, Inc. Injustice Unlimited was intended as the "next generation" of the Injustice Society, a perpetual threat to the Justice Society of America, and comprised almost entirely former Injustice Society members' children. Artemis remained with various incarnations of Injustice Unlimited, a part of multiple rosters, and even began a romantic relationship with one of her fellow villains, the Icicle.
Artemis was reintroduced on the animated TV show Young Justice as a teenager posing as Green Arrow's newest sidekick, a "niece" who joined the team at Batman's behest Young Justice season 1, episode 6, "Infiltrator".
As a result, Paula was sent to prison and Artemis was left in Sportsmaster's care alongside her older sister, Jade. Sportsmaster trained his daughters rigorously, subjecting them to abuse masquerading as "tests" he claimed would hone their skills as criminals and thieves.
Eventually Jade snapped and ran away, leaving Artemis to suffer alone at the hands of their father. Her time in jail had caused Paula to reform entirely, and as part of her return to society, she wanted to set a straight course for her daughter. Artemis seized the opportunity to escape and ran away, setting out to forge her own path as a hero before Batman and Green Arrow intercepted her and positioned her on the Young Justice team.
During her time on the team, Artemis was forced to confront both her father and her sister, who had adopted the code name Cheshire. Both were less than impressed with her newfound heroism. Kid Flash. This changed, however, when the team was forced to call upon Artemis once more for a deep-cover operation Young Justice season 2, episode 7, "Depths". After faking her own death, Artemis assumed the identity of Tigress and began working covertly with another member of her former team, Aqualad.
Their reunion, however, proved short-lived. The nature of most of these tests have not been specified, although while robbed of her memory Artemis suggested one such test could involve being forced to kill someone, in this case, Kid Flash.
When her mother Paula was released from prison, she returned home and spoke in private with Artemis's father. She stated that she had gone straight and that she wanted Artemis to do the same, and she wanted him to leave. Unbeknownst to both of them, their conversation was overheard by Artemis who then escaped into Gotham clad in her green costume to fight crime.
Artemis shoots Amazo and saves Kid Flash. She was inspired by them, and wanted in. Batman and Green Arrow visited her and recruited her for the Team. Green Arrow devised a cover story for her, that she was his niece and new sidekick. Her first mission with the Team was overall a success, though Kid Flash blamed her for every little thing that went wrong. Her first missions involved a trip to the Tower of Fate , [22] an investigation into the court-martial of Nathaniel Adams [23] and an undercover operation in the Star City jail.
The month started with a mission in Bialya , where the Team lost access to the last six months of their memory. Artemis had no memory of becoming a hero, and had to trust people whom she did not know, or only knew as enemies of her father.
She was still uncomfortable adjusting to the new environment. Together with Robin, she had to stop them. Because the two robots had managed to overpower their superpowered teammates, Artemis heavily doubted her ability to defeat them.
Encouraging words from Robin did not help much, but when he too was captured and all pressure was on her, she pulled through. However, Red Tornado returned and seemingly betrayed them. For the rest of the month, Batman assigned them two related missions, involving Brain 's Kobra-Venom operations in India [26] and Bwunda.
The Team was sent on a dangerous mission against the Injustice League. They succeeded, with help from the Justice League. She and Artemis got along well. Though her father forbade her to join, she snuck out with them to track down Red Tornado. What was meant to be a simple telepathic training exercise went horribly wrong after Miss Martian's emotions took over after Artemis "died". Artemis slipped into a coma, from which she did not awake until after Miss Martian was "killed" as well.
For the next week, she, like other members of the Team, was still in shock about their experiences. She was upset about it, and Zatanna offered her a distraction: crime fighting in New York City. They stopped several small crimes until they encountered Harm , whom they defeated with Secret 's help.
Early on in the month, Artemis continued to pressure Zatanna into joining, and she eventually got her wish, though not in the way she wanted. At week later, the Team threw Wally a surprise party in the Cave. Witnessing Wally's attempts to get a kiss from M'gann, Artemis decided to tell him she was taken. Artemis took some delight in seeing him disappointed. The party was cut short by a series of ice fortresses attacking the continental United States. Artemis helped destroy one alongside her mentor, Green Arrow.
The more and more Artemis worked with the Team and Green Arrow, her confidence grew. But when she learned her place on the Team was because her mother had begged Batman and Green Arrow to help her—and not, as she thought, because she saved Kid Flash—she began to question her position. Red Arrow returned on the Team and had a mission involving Sportsmaster , and Artemis volunteered. The rest thought she was just eager to show herself off against Red Arrow, but at least part of it was to assure herself she earned a place.
Unfortunately, Cheshire and Sportsmaster threatened to expose her secrets, and she botched the mission. This did not sit well with her teammates, especially Red Arrow, and to a lesser extent Kid Flash.
Meanwhile, the Light had hoped to blackmail her by exposing her secrets. After Superboy confessed his connection to Lex Luthor , Artemis decided to tell her friends about her own family. They took it well; Robin already knew, something that shocked her and Kid Flash finally realized why she failed the earlier mission.
With renewed resolve, the Team took out an ambush by the Light, [32] and later the mind-controlled Justice League aboard the Watchtower. When the Light was beaten back, Kid Flash and Artemis decided to show their true feelings for each other and kissed. Kid Flash and Artemis celebrate their victory. At the stroke of New Year, Wally picked up Artemis and they kissed. Both agreed they should have done it sooner.
Artemis and Kid Flash entered the Mission Room. Artemis immediately apologized for a poor joke from Wally, blaming it on a lack of pancakes. She also had to reign him in when he expressed excitement about a kidnapping. The kidnap victim, Helena Sandsmark , was taken from Greece, and Artemis led a squad to investigate. They quickly discovered the presence of the League of Shadows and Cheshire. Artemis confronted her sister, but she escaped.
The squad had to fight through several squads of Shadows until they came to the dig site. They found a tablet device that belonged to Sandsmark. It picked up a signal, leading the squad to an amphitheater. Taking a rest, Artemis investigated the tablet. She discovered Sandsmark had left a message on it, explaining that the League of Shadows was after a Babylonian artifact she recovered.
Cheshire had set up a trap in the amphitheater, and attacked them. The Team defeated her. With Cheshire out of contention, Aquagirl contacted Artemis explaining the artifact might be in Athens. At the Museum of Natural History , Alpha Squad fought its way through several squads of Shadows, all the while avoiding debris from increasing seismic activity. Artemis discovered someone else was involved: her father, Sportsmaster. They chased him to the Antiquities wing, and found him when he had just stolen the artifact.
They fought him, but when a helicopter arrived, Sportsmaster could escape with the artifact. Artemis managed to plant a tracer on him. With Sportsmaster gone, Alpha Squad could focus on civilians, who were still trapped in the museum, which had become increasingly unstable. With help from John Stewart , they shepherded them outside, fighting off Shadows along the way. Artemis and her squad returned to the Cave to debrief. Wally comforted her after the family fight, and the Team looked at the tracer.
It led to Siberia , which Superboy investigated. Superboy recovered two fragments, and found reason to investigate LexCorp in Santa Prisca. Batman debriefed the Team and congratulated them on a job well done. Artemis disagreed, citing the loss of Aquagirl as a heavy blow to the Team and Garth in particular.
Nightwing used it as motivation to continue the fight against the Light. Wally and Artemis talked with Dick via video call to congratulate him on his birthday. It was early, but because of their studies, neither had gone to bed yet. Dick was forced to cut off the conversation when his female guest for the night arrived.
Wally commented on his social standing as a "dog", and Artemis was shocked to recognize her old classmate Bette Kane. Artemis stayed up late for Wally to return home.
He told her about his day—trying to persuade Red Arrow to get his act back together—and how it was a failure. Artemis consoled him, and was surprised after all of that, Wally remembered Valentine's Day, for the first time in five years. She had a special treat prepared for him: a fully stocked fridge. Aqualad needed help for his deep cover in the Light, and he and Nightwing recruited Artemis. She came out of retirement for a mission to Cape Canaveral , where they faked her death.
With a special Glamour Charm , they concealed her identity, allowing her to go undercover. She was still hesitant about many things, such as blowing up Mount Justice. During a raid on the Partner 's research labs, Miss Martian attacked Aqualad out of anger, and learned of Artemis's cover. Tigress rested in her quarters, pondering how things went so wrong with her undercover mission.
Her thoughts were interrupted as Black Manta summoned her to Kaldur's quarters. There, Manta revealed that Psimon was going to restore Kaldur's memories.
Tigress realized that, if Psimon was successful, he would learn the truth about her and Kaldur. Manta told Tigress he sensed that Kaldur cared deeply for her, then left her with Kaldur and Psimon. As Psimon began to mentally prepare himself, Tigress secretly shot a dart at Psimon's neck. As Psimon was about to begin, he suddenly attacked Tigress, realized she had drugged him and wondered why.
He used his mental powers to learn that Tigress was really Artemis, but before he could do anything else, he passed out. Manta, who had observed the situation on a monitor, rushed to Kaldur's quarters. Tigress told him she didn't know what had happened and wondered if Miss Martian had left a telepathic virus in Kaldur's mind. She suggested that Miss Martian was the only one who could restore Kaldur's mind.
Manta agreed to Tigress's plan to kidnap Miss Martian and force her to help Kaldur, but told her that Deathstroke would accompany her. Tigress telepathically explained to M'gann that she needed her help to save Kaldur and to make the abduction look good. With M'gann distracted, Tigress set off explosives that burst into flames, weakening M'gann and allowing Deathstroke to place an inhibitor collar on her. The two then departed with M'gann aboard the Manta-Flyer.
He left Tigress with her, who ordered Miss Martian to get started. Communicating telepathically, M'gann told Tigress fixing one's mind is not as easily done as breaking it and that any intrusion by her may be perceived by Kaldur as a threat.
Tigress told M'gann to take her into Kaldur's mind as well, as she believed she would not be perceived as a threat. Realizing there was no other choice, M'gann agreed. Tigress's thoughts were interrupted by Black Manta, who told her that it has been six hours since he left her.
Manta at first believed Miss Martian was stalling, but realized she made progress when Kaldur recognized his father. Manta left to speak privately with Tigress, telling her he intended to kill Miss Martian when she finished helping Kaldur.
Outwardly, Tigress seemed pleased, but inwardly, she realized the situation just got worse. Tigress was with Kaldur and Miss Martian, with Miss Martian apparently slow in making progress restoring Kaldur's mind, so Black Manta gave Miss Martian 24 hours to finish or lose her life.
Unknown to Manta, Kaldur had been playing possum while he and Tigress figured how to save M'gann's life. They were now forced to put another plan into action. Tigress told Deathstroke she needed to stretch her legs and get coffee, but after she left Kaldur's quarters, she made her way to the control room to deactivate M'gann's inhibitor collar. On her way there, the alarm sounded because Deathstroke noticed that Cheshire had invaded Kaldur's quarters.
She told the troopers in the control room to go protect Kaldur, then began searching for the collar control. Deathstroke then notified her of Cheshire's presence and that Miss Martian had intervened, ordering Tigress to return to Kaldur's room.
Tigress first continued her search, ultimately disabling M'gann's collar, but as she headed back to Kaldur's room, she got no response from an attempted telepathic communication.
She then encountered Sportsmaster dueling with Black Manta, who told Tigress to deal with Sportsmaster and he would save his son. Tigress and Sportsmaster fought, but just as Sportsmaster had Tigress down, M'gann intervened, pulling the two, Kaldur and Cheshire into a mindscape.
Cheshire first thought it was one of her memories, but then Tigress said it was hers and revealed her true identity of Artemis to her sister. Upon learning that Artemis's death had been faked, Cheshire dropped her grudge against Aqualad but Sportsmaster remained unconvinced, despite Cheshire's insistence.
Artemis told Miss Martian to release them, as she would make Sportsmaster believe it was really her. After M'gann released everyone from the mindscape, Tigress avoided a javelin strike and disarmed Sportsmaster with a maneuver he had taught her.
Now convinced Tigress was really his daughter, Sportsmaster said he was pleased she and Aqualad were putting one over on the Light. Tigress asked her father for a favor, which Sportsmaster did, destroying the collar control with an explosive disc. As Sportsmaster and Cheshire were about to escape, Deathstroke caught up with them and Tigress arrived soon after. As Cheshire and Tigress tussled, Tigress remarked she was touched Cheshire risked everything to avenge her as Cheshire claimed she was just angry Lian lost her babysitter.
Miss Martian then showed up and slammed Deathstroke and Tigress to the wall, allowing Sportsmaster and Cheshire to get away. After Deathstroke escaped Miss Martian's telekinetic hold and charged her, Tigress telepathically told M'gann she needed to escape.
M'gann acknowledged her, mentally apologizing before she threw Deathstroke toward Tigress. Tigress was part of the Light's delegation for a summit with the Reach. As she removed her mask upon Black Beetle 's insistence, she whispered to Kaldur'ahm that the two were in over their heads.
She blocked a stinger bolt aimed at Ra's al Ghul and was knocked into him. Tigress apologized, which Ra's said was not necessary, but his eyes were then drawn to the Glamour Charm around her neck. After Kaldur stepped in between Manta and Black Beetle and got both to stand down, Ra's approached Tigress and removed the charm, revealing her true identity of Artemis and explaining to everyone about the charm. The Reach ambassador concluded that Kaldur'ahm was in cahoots with Artemis and ordered Black Beetle to kill them both.
Deathstroke shot them both in the chest, apparently killing them. Kaldur then released a dead man's switch that generated holographic images, revealing how the Light had merely used the Reach for its own personal gain.
When Vandal Savage revealed to an angry Ambassador that the Light possessed the crystal key to the Warworld , Artemis and Aqualad stood up, revealing they were not really dead, then "Deathstroke" revealed herself as Miss Martian and other Team members arrived on the scene. Dozens of League of Shadows agents then arrived, but some were Team members in disguise. As everyone engaged in battle, Artemis watched as Black Beetle stabbed Ra's through the chest, then was pushed aside by Ubu as he tended to his master.
Artemis charged them, but Ubu kicked her away and escaped with Ra's. Kid Flash caught her and told her he didn't know whether to kiss her or kill her for putting him through everything, to which Artemis told him to hold that thought until they were alone, after which they battled a group of Shadows.
After the Team won a decisive victory and Aqualad lamented about the loose ends that remained, Artemis, Nightwing and Kid Flash all reassured him. Artemis noted that Aqualad had crippled the Reach, broken the Light in half, took down Deathstroke before the Summit and that the proceedings had been holographically recorded, giving them evidence to clear the Justice League.
Beast Boy then ran up and hugged Artemis, remarking how happy he was that she was alive. The squad dispatched the Reach soldiers present with super-speed and projectile weaponry. The heroes would use a computer virus provided by Lex Luthor to safely disable the disruptors. The heroes were paired off with another into twenty squads: one member would run interference against weapons guarding the disruptors, allowing the other to get close enough to plant the virus.
Artemis was assigned to Omega Squad, and worked alongside Kid Flash. While attempting to defuse the MFD, the pair bantered. Kid Flash wanted to return to Paris once they don't have a world to save. She replied that there is always a world to save.
