History: (Man of Steel #3) - Growing up, Margaret loved shiny things and wanted them all for herself. She was ridiculed for her obsession, and nicknamed Magpie. This obsession just got stronger as she grew up, and she took a job as curator of the Gotham City Museum of Antiquities to be surrounded by the valuables she loved. This love turned to jealously when she realized she would never possess the antiques around her. Her mind snapped, and she started a crime-wave as Magpie. She made booby-trapped duplicates of famous museum pieces, and put them in place of the genuine article, feeling she was taking what was rightfully hers, not stealing. She also recruited a small gang of thugs to ensue that she was never caught. She was a harsh employee, killing any goon that failed her expectations. Magpie was unfortunate enough to be the first criminal captured by the team of Batman and Superman. She had an emotional breakdown after she realized that they were going to take away her shiny things.

(JSA #28) - Nevada; Magpie went to Roulette's House to attend one of her gladiatorial contests. She was among the crowd of villains that watched members of the JSA forced to fight each other.

(Superman / Batman #1 (fb, BTS)) - Magpie was reported dead under unrevealed circumstances.
