Description

The FIRST Appearance of Magpie! The 1st Explosion as Superman and Batman are on the rooftop talking!

Published just a few months after Crisis on Infinite Earths, John Byrne's The Man of Steel updated the saga of Superman for modern audiences, changing certain aspects of the character in the process. The third issue finds Superman in Gotham City and at odds with the brutal (and oftentimes unlawful) methods Batman uses to fight crime. During pre-Crisis times, Superman and Batman were the best of buddies.

Magpie is a jewel thief who specifically targets jewels named after birds and then replaces them with booby-trapped replicas.Taking a job as a museum curator, Pye is slowly driven mad surrounded by the beautiful things that she so loves but can never own. She was notable in Post-Crisis continuity as the first villain who was defeated by Superman and Batman working together, Superman having visited Gotham to "apprehend" Batman before Batman's demonstration of his skills while tracking Magpie convinced Superman that Gotham needed someone like Batman to protect it.

Magpie disappears for a length of time, until it is revealed that she is Poison Ivy's cellmate at Arkham Asylum.
