Black Thorn is a DC Comics character. She first appeared in Vigilante #45 (September 1987), and was created by Paul Kupperberg and Tod Smith.
Elizabeth Thorne used to have a life as a partying socalite; basically a rich drunk. Her brother forces her into rehab. While happy not to be involved with the bottle anymore, she missed the thrill of life. She joins up with the CIA but soon felt constrained by the need to operate within the law.
She fakes her own death and takes on the identity of Black Thorn. She began working as a vigilante in New York where she met and fell in love with -the- the Vigilante. For a time, her own methods were more brutal then even the Vigilante's own and they often argued. However, he went insane and began murdering innocent people, including cops. In a brief moment of clarity, the Vigilante committed suicide.
Black Thorn was devastated. She was later brought into the Checkmate organization by Harry Stein. There she came into opposition with Amanda Waller, but then pretty much everyone did.
Black Thorn is sent, along with Checkmate, Suicide Squad and other operatives, to oppose Kobra's plan to kill millions of people from an orbititng alien vessel. The mission succeeds, though many on both sides die.
Black Thorn is still at least semi-active, as she assists Wonder Woman and a whole host of female heroes against the forces of Circe in New York City.[1]
