Backstory: Beth Scott is the only child of Jack and Clarence Scott, a pair of genius gadgeteers who traded in created advanced tech to sell to criminals and supervillains on the black market. Beth grew up unaware of this side of her parents, thinking them to simply be everyday wage slaves. They tried hard to keep her out of danger, instead encouraging her to follow her athletic pursuits in gymnastics and archery. She seemed to have a bright future ahead - although that all changed the day her parents fell afoul of the mob.
Beth was luckily at gym practice the day the mob showed up to her parents home and murdered them. When she got home and found their bodies she was ambushed by a mafioso who had stuck around to wait for her, but he was dispatched by an old family friend, Bob 'the Eliminator' Black. Bob took the then-sixteen year old Beth in and trained her in the ways of an assassin so that when she was ready she could seek revenge. He also provided her with a package that her parents had entrusted him with that contained several cards for offshore accounts full of money just in case they were ever killed, as well as a key and coordinates to a hidden warehouse where her father and mother had been crafting new gear for their own use.
Inside Beth found prototypes they had made for various gadgets and tools to make more, including a high-tech mechanical bow. With Bob's help Beth fashioned as many of the gadgets that she could into devices that could be mounted on arrowheads, and took to the streets in a one-woman war against the criminal underworld as
Night-Arrow.
