''Dominique Montgomery'' needed no grand tragedy or lost love to inspire her to become the third ''Manhunter''. Discovering the uniform and pistols of her predecessor in an old trunk during the settling of her grandmother Elizabeth's estate, the young woman dove into the "family business" with a passion. She turned her experience as a Detroit police detective to the task of dealing with those criminals who felt they were "above the law," operating outside the system to bring down those who did the same. She was eventually caught and discreetly ousted from the force; afterward she turned to bounty hunting and morally-grey mercenary work to make a living. Though never wholly on the side of the angels she was considered more heroine than villainess in the final accounting; the third Manhunter gave her life to protect a group of trapped civilians as they evacuated the city in the Battle of Detroit.

Following a family legacy dating back to the days of the Old West, Manhunter is the fourth woman of her family to bear the title, having taken up the mantle from her predecessor who was lost in the Battle of Detroit. Relying on nothing more than a brilliant intellect and a peerless skill with conventional firearms, more than one supercriminal has learned the hard way that sometimes all one needs to thrive in a world of would-be demigods and omnicidal maniacs is a heaping helping of blood, balls, and bullets and the knowledge of how to use them.

Legacy

The original Manhunter was a figure of fear and legend in the days of the Old West; Brigid McManus was the lover of the Sheriff of the small town of Burnside, New Mexico;when he was murdered viciously by a band of outlaws she took up guns and a mask to seek revenge in a bloody vengeance ride before moving eastward, finally finding solace and settling down,dying in her bedwith her paired Peacemakers long-since hung up for good.


They would remain so until the rise of organized crime in the wake of Prohibition and the Great Depression, when McManus' granddaughter Elizabeth Dawson found herself facing the same sad tale as her storied grandmother when her policeman husband was gunned down by mobsters in Chicago; taking up the mantle and revovlers of her grandmother, she became the second Manhunter; she cut a bloody swath through the gangs of Chicago and then Detroit before heading across the Atlantic, gunning down Nazis and facing the Third Reich's ubermensch until the Allies' victory. Her career ended with the rise of McCarthyism and the Red Scare; like her predecessor she too faded into anonymity and settled down,stored her grandmother's pistols, and raised a family with a second husband. Once more the mantle of the Manhunter slept - and it would sleep for the better part thirty years.


Dominique Montgomery needed no grand tragedy or lost love to inspire her to become the third Manhunter. Discovering the uniform and pistols of her predecessor in an old trunk during the settling of her grandmother Elizabeth's estate, the young woman dove into the "family business" with a passion. She turned her experience as a Detroit police detective to the task of dealing with those criminals who felt they were "above the law," operating outside the system to bring down those who did the same. She was eventually caught and discreetly ousted from the force; afterward she turned to bounty hunting and morally-grey mercenary work to make a living. Though never wholly on the side of the angels she was considered more heroine than villainess in the final accounting; the third Manhunter gave her life to protect a group of trapped civilians as they evacuated the city in the Battle of Detroit.
