Nightshade (comics) - Other Versions

Other Versions

• Earth-Two: An enemy of the Golden Age Sandman (Wesley Dodds), this Nightshade had the ability to control plants. Upon his revival in the 1980s series All-Star Squadron, he was renamed "Ramulus" to avoid confusion with the Eve Eden character and became a member of the Monster Society of Evil.
• Earth-4: In the final issue of 52, a new Multiverse is revealed, originally consisting of 52 realities. Among the parallel realities shown is one designated "Earth-4". As a result of Mister Mind "eating" aspects of this reality, it takes on visual aspects similar to the pre-Crisis Earth-4, including Nightshade and the other Charlton characters. The names of the characters are not mentioned in the panel in which they appear. Based on comments by Grant Morrison, this alternate universe is not the pre-Crisis Earth-4.
• Earth-13: Shown in Countdown: Arena, Eve of the Shadows. Dressed a gypsy attire, she is married to the Captain Atom of her world, the Brigadier Atom. Upon avenging her namesake, and slaying The Shade, she travels the Shadowlands dimension to get back home, finding Monarch waiting for her, holding her husband by the throat. He nukes her world's version of the United States and Canada, and brings Eve back badly traumatized.
• Countdown: Arena: A female version of The Shade. This version of Nightshade, a sadistic psychopath, creates horrible creatures with her powers that dismember one of the other two Nightshades, until she is taken to the Shadowlands by Eve of Shadows and has her head ripped off.
• The Flash: Two male characters were named Nightshade in The Flash television series. The first, Dr. Desmond Powell (played by Jason Bernard) was a hero from the 1950s, while the second was a violent anti-hero/villain who believed he was emulating the first (the second is also known as the Deadly Nightshade), Curtis Bohannan (played by Richard Burgi).
• JLA: Destiny: Nightshade appeared as a prominent character and later changed her name to Destiny after she received the ability to see in the future.
• Kingdom Come (Earth-22): Nightshade was briefly shown in flashbacks as a member of Magog's Justice Battalion, along with the rest of the Charlton 'Action Heroes'. She was apparently killed with the other members when Captain Atom was killed.
• Watchmen: The character of Silk Spectre II, Laurie Juspeczyk, is partially based on Nightshade, though it could also be argued that the character of Silhouette had more of her visual style.
