Onyx - Batman Family

This was the eighth entry into my 28 Days of Black Superheroines series that I've been working on via Instragam in order to celebrate Black History Month.

Onyx debuted in 1985 as an assassin turned hero. She was once a member of the League of Assassins, but turned her back on them to become an ally of Green Arrow and Black Canary. She later moved to Gotham City where she effectively became an auxiliary member of the Batman Family. In the New 52 canon, Onyx is the leader of the Fist Clan.

Onyx has had a few interesting looks over the years, including a rather snazzy costume in Batman: Bad Blood. I ended up drawing her appearance from the Bat books from around the War Games era. It's a very simple yet effective look that shows off how badass she is.

As always, I love hearing from you guys so please feel free to leave a comment below.

Enjoy!
