DIAMONDBACK

 


DIAMONDBACK

Real Name: Rachel Leighton
First Appearance: Captain America (Vol. 1) #310, October 1985

Powers: Diamondback has no superhuman powers. However, she was trained in hand-to-hand combat at the Taskmaster's academies. She employs a variety of trick throwing diamonds provided to her originally by the Tinkerer. Among the diamonds she carries are razor-tipped, acid, nitro, snake venom, smoke, and sleep drug-filled. Diamond was also forced to undergo a blood transfusion with Captain America's cocaine-laced Super-Soldier blood. The drug's effect eventually was cleansed from her system, but presumably she still has the Super-Soldier Serum elements in her body, since the serum has proven to be virtually impossible to exorcise. Thus, she should possess peak human strength, speed, agility, endurance, and reflexes.
