Stephanie Brown, [[Tim Drake]]'s girlfriend and the costumed adventurer previously known as the Spoiler, volunteered for the role of Robin upon Tim's resignation. Batman fired the Girl Wonder for not obeying his orders to the letter on two occasions. Stephanie then stole one of Batman's incomplete plans to control Gotham's crime and executed it. Trying to prove her worthiness, Brown inadvertently set off a gang war on the streets of Gotham. While trying to help end the war, Brown was captured and tortured by the lunatic crime boss [[Black Mask (comics)|Black Mask]]. She managed to escape, but apparently died shortly afterwards due to the severity of her injuries. Tim Drake keeps a memorial for her in his cave hideout underneath [[Titans Tower]] in [[San Francisco]]. She appeared alive and stalking Tim, after his return from traveling around the globe with his mentor.<ref>''Robin'' (vol. 2) #172</ref> It turned out that [[Dr. Leslie Thompkins]] had faked Stephanie's death in an effort to protect her.<ref>''Robin'' (vol. 2) #174</ref> For years she operated on and off as the Spoiler, but was then recruited as [[Barbara Gordon]]'s replacement as Batgirl. She had her own series, as well as making appearances throughout various Batman and Batman spin-off series. Her time as the Spoiler, Robin, and Batgirl was retconned to have never occurred after the ''[[Flashpoint (comics)|Flashpoint]]'' event, with her being reintroduced having just become the Spoiler in ''[[Batman Eternal]]''. However, her history as Robin was later restored.<ref>''Young Justice'' (vol. 3) #5</ref>
