Cissie King-Jones was the daughter of the former Miss Arrowette, Bonnie King, and Star City reporter, Bernell Jones. Her mother was an Olympic-level archer and insisted that her daughter achieve the same level. Bonnie developed a psychological disorder and forced Cissie to train constantly. After Cissie encountered Impulse and Max Mercury, Max grew concerned about Bonnie forcing her daughter to become a hero to fight crime. Max got Child Services involved and Bonnie lost custody of her daughter. Cissie was sent to the boarding school Saint Elias School for Girls. However, Cissie continued to train. Later she joined the team of young heroes, Young Justice.
