Stephanie Brown was introduced in a three-issue story arc in Detective Comics # 647-649 in which writer Chuck Dixon reinvented a villain called the Cluemaster.

The Cluemaster is a fictional character, a DC Comics supervillain who was an enemy of Batman.

The Riddler has a working relationship with the Cluemaster, although he initially resents the villain for seemingly copying his modus operandi.

With several other villains, Cluemaster becomes a member of the Injustice League, a team of out-of-luck supervillains who, when banding together, become even less successful than they have been in their individual careers.

In this three-issue story, Cluemaster has reformed and been released from Blackgate Prison.

Robin tracks her down and Batman, Robin and Spoiler set a plan in motion to take down Cluemaster.

Batman tells Cluemaster to stop and Cluemaster, thinking Batman will only lecture him about how it is morally wrong to disfigure a child, is taken aback when Batman simply reveals Spoiler is his daughter.

Spoiler uses the shock of the revelation to gain the upper hand and uses one of the chains attached to the Gunship lifting the canister to strangle Cluemaster, but Batman prevents this.
