HISTORY

Francine Lee was the girlfriend of Kirk Langstrom, the scientist who invented the bat-gland serum and involuntarily transformed into Man-Bat. Refusing to give up her love to Kirk, Francine took the serum herself and was transformed into a female Man-Bat, which affected her mind. The Batman gave them both an antidote, and the happy couple was married.

Some time later, an atomic blast reactivated the bat-gland chemicals in her blood, after which she was repeatedly transformed into a vampire bat, controlled by the evil Baron Tyme. Still later, Francine adopted the heroic identity of She-Bat while fighting the villainous Snafu.

These days, Francine is cured, and dedicates her life to bring up her children, Aaron and Rebecca.
