Editing Arrowette (section)

===Cissie King-Jones===
Forced by her mother to adopt a version of her old costume, '''Suzanne "Cissie" King-Jones''' becomes the second '''Arrowette'''. Arrowette first appears in the pages of ''[[Bart Allen|Impulse]]'' wearing a frilly costume and a bejeweled mask that apes her mother's old costume. Despite Arrowette's success as a heroine, Impulse's mentor, [[Max Mercury]], is concerned by what he sees as Bonnie's exploitation of her daughter. Child Welfare Services gets involved, and Bonnie loses custody of her daughter, who is sent to the Elias School for Girls, a [[boarding school]].<ref name="dc-ency">{{Cite book|last = Greenberger|first = Robert|contribution = Arrowette|editor-last = Dougall|editor-first = Alastair|title = The DC Comics Encyclopedia|pages = 25|publisher = [[Dorling Kindersley]]|place = London|year = 2008|isbn = 978-0-7566-4119-1}}</ref>

Arrowette next appears in ''[[Young Justice]]'' #4 wearing a more practical costume.<ref name=yj4>''Young Justice'' #4 (January 1999)</ref> Acting alone, she battles [[Harm (comics)|Harm]], who injures her with one of her own arrows.<ref name=yj4 /> She manages to escape and contact Young Justice, later joining the team, along with the second [[Wonder Girl]] ([[Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark)|Cassie Sandsmark]]) and [[Secret (Greta Hayes)|Secret]] (Greta Hayes). The three quickly become close friends, although Cissie admits during a game of 'Truth or Dare' that, if put in a position where she had a choice to quit being a hero, she would ask her mother's advice and then do the opposite to establish herself as an independent person.<ref>''Young Justice'' #5 (February 1999)</ref>

After her school therapist—one of the few adults whom Cissie trusted—is brutally murdered, Cissie tracks down the killers in a violent rage. She nearly kills one of them herself, but is stopped by [[Superboy (Kon-El)|Superboy]]. Cissie is so shaken by the incident that she vows never to be Arrowette again.

Despite leaving the team, Cissie remains close friends with her teammates and eventually reconciles with her mother, who convinces her daughter to try out for the "Summer Games" in [[Sydney]] (a reference to the [[2000 Summer Olympics]]). With her battle-honed abilities, Cissie ends up taking home the gold, and becomes something of a celebrity, guest-starring on Superboy's favorite TV show, ''Wendy the Werewolf Stalker'' (a parody of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''). She helps [[Red Tornado]]'s daughter, Traya, adjust to life at Elias and later, when Secret is resurrected, Cissie helps to organize placement for her at the same school.

Now retired from superheroics, Cissie never expresses any desire to return to her life as a superhero, despite the best efforts of several of her former teammates. They even involve her in a baseball game on an alien planet, with the fate of many innocents riding on the outcome. Cissie is enraged because they chose her instead of many other superhumans, but she participates as best as she can. Her team barely wins. Cissie still remains committed to justice and compassion. During the [[Imperiex]] war, she served as medical aid volunteer, again working with Young Justice, although the team is again divided due to uncertainty about Robin's loyalty to them after the discovery of Batman's [[JLA: Tower of Babel|files on the Justice League]].<ref name="dc-ency"/>
