Current Crimson Avenger

like the original El Diablo serves as a minor Spirit of Vengeance. She, possessing the power of teleportation and intangibility, is an African American woman who might be called Jill Carlyle. In a flashback sequence, she studied law but apparently lost a case in which the defendant was clearly guilty. She obtains a pair of Colt pistols originally owned by the first Crimson Avenger and uses them to exact vengeance upon the unknown criminal. These guns were cursed such that if the possessor were to use them out of revenge he or she would be cursed to track and kill those who have taken innocent life. She gains the memory and skills of those whose deaths she is avenging. Her guns never miss, never run out of ammunition, and have no triggers. She was a member of the JSA during the "Stealing Thunder" storyline, where her mission was to avenge the death of Lee Travis, revealing that the explosion that killed him was caused by the Ultra-Humanite. She returns later in JSA #52-53, tracking down Wildcat. While she performed her cursed duty she attempted to learn how Lee Travis seemingly divested himself of the guns' curse. Though attacked by the Spectre in a 2005 issue of JSA, the Crimson Avenger was seen at Blackgate Prison, fighting escaping inmates during the world-wide supervillain breakout the Society engineered in Villains United: Infinite Crisis Special #1. The Crimson Avenger later appeared, alongside the current Vigilante and Wild Dog, on a rooftop in the great Battle of Metropolis, raining bullets down on the Trigger Twins, the Madmen and Spellbinder, Infinite Crisis #7
