Topic: Stephanie Brown

Spoiler (Stephanie Brown) is a fictional character, a superhero in the DC Comics Universe. She also appeared as the fourth Robin. The character first appeared in Detective Comics #647, and was created by Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle.

Stephanie Brown is the daughter of the Cluemaster, one of Gotham City's third-rate criminals. Her father spends most of her childhood in jail or away from the family, and though he claims to be rehabilitated upon his return to Gotham, Stephanie is furious to discover that he is actually returning to crime without his need to leave clues behind. She decides something needed to be done.

Stephanie tailors a costume for herself, and calls herself The Spoiler. She learns where her father is hiding out, finds out his plans, and leaves clues so that the police and Batman could stop him. Robin tracks her down and, after a few brief confrontations, helps capture Cluemaster. Although she initially wishes to kill her father, Batman convinces her to allow him to be arrested.
