History: (Green Lantern IV #15 (fb)) - An unnamed woman became the heiress to the D’Aramis cosmetics fortune and became the toast of Paris. She adopted the superhero identity Crimson Fox created by the D’Aramis sisters.

(Green Lantern IV #11, 12) - Crimson Fox apprehended Double Dare, who were attempting to rob the Louvre, and enjoyed engaging them in lascivious banter. Afterwards she was approached by the Global Guardians and asked to join their team. She told them she disliked their vilification of Green Lantern for doing his job, even though he was breaking the Freedom of Powers Act that forbid American metahumans on foreign soil. Her predecessors were friends with Green Lantern, so that meant he was her friend as well. She declined their invitation, but the Guardians told her she didn’t have a choice. They were being mind-controlled by Faceless Hunters in the employ of Amon Sur, and once she was forced to join she was in their thrall as well. The Guardians called another press conference introducing Crimson Fox as their newest member, and used the opportunity to bash Green Lantern again.

(Green Lantern IV #14-17) - Crimson Fox and the Guardians confronted Hal after he once again broke the Freedom of Powers Act to attack a terrorist cell in Chechnya that had his friend Cowgirl captive. Jet incinerated the terrorists and decided to blame Hal for her actions to vindicate their statements that he was a threat to international relations. The Guardians subdued Hal, but the Hunters disliked Hall’s resistance and strong will, and debated lobotomizing him before handing him over to Sur. They were interrupted by the Rocket Red Brigade, who were after Hal for violating Russian airspace, and the JLofA, who wanted to bring Hal home. The League held off the Brigade while Hal rescued Cowgirl, and Hal told the League to send the Global Guardians to Martian Manhunter, so he could unscramble their minds. Martian Manhunter rebooted their minds, turning them from pawns back into the heroes they were. Their first act as heroes was to repair Edwards Air Force Base, which had been torn asunder by Amon Sur, the Faceless Hunters’ employee.
