Blackwing became a member of his Heavy Mettle. She and the rest of the group, attacks the New Warriors to obtain Turbo's costume. Heavy Mettle was defeated and sent to jail, except Firestrike.

During Dark Reign she was tricked by Hood and Taskmaster into training with the Initiative for their " Shadow Initiative." However, the Shadow Initiative had been changed to become cannon fodder meant to weaken the enemy in the next mission (taking Prison 42 from the remnants of King Blastaar's army) before the Heavy Hitters of Osborn's Initiative finished the job. Blackwing participated in the attack either in ignorance or because she knew he would be killed if he tried to quit. She was shot down in the ensuing fight and killied.
