HistoryEdit

Just what is this BROAD talk? The name is Darkling! Both your mouth and actions are rude! I'll tolerate you no longer!
-- Darkling src 

The mysterious Darkling first appeared during the Crusaders epic battle against the combined forces of Eterno, the Brain Emperor and the Malevolent Legion of Juggernauts. She aided the team with her mystic cloak and was quickly accepted into their ranks. Darkling never revealed anything about herself, though she seemed to forge a quick friendship with Fly Girl.

Serious without being overbearing, Darkling was a sensual woman with an appreciation for the paranormal. During the alien invasion that united the Crusaders with Thunder Bunny, it was Darkling who sensed that the rabbit hero was not a threat to the Earth. She also proved her usefulness in dispatching the Druid when the mystic villain attempted to steal the Jaguar's magical belt.

Sudden Death

Unfortunately, Darkling's promising career as a hero came to an abrupt end when the evil Brain Emperor returned with the Riot Squad at his side. Seeing that Darkling posed a threat to him, the Brain Emperor wiped her mind clean and left her floating adrift in Limbo.

Return

Through unknown means, Darla reappeared as member of the Mighty Crusaders. This time with a more somber attitude and less friendly behavior. Also, it seems like her powers are now part of her. In her interaction with the Dream Demon, it was revealed that both knew each other from previous adventures.
