Read more about Thorn (Rhosyn Forrest) at: Wikipedia Official Site: DC Comics Thorn is a fictional character in DC Comics, a superhero who suffers from multiple personalities. Rhosyn "Rose" Forrest is the daughter of Metropolis police officer Phil Forrest, who was killed by a criminal gang named the 100. When Rose went to sleep, her Thorn personality would emerge and stalk the streets as a vigilante, attempting to bring the 100 to justice. When she succeeds in bringing the 100 to justice, the "Thorn" personality subsides. Eventually, however, the gang escapes and forms another group, called the 1000, and her alternate personality resurfaces. She has since worked with Superman and Booster Gold to try to put these criminals behind bars. She was briefly under the control of Lord Satanus. Thorn has no actual superpowers, but she is highly athletic and was taught martial arts by her father. She is known to carry a pair of combat daggers, a barbed whip, and a bandolier of tiny, thorn-shaped weapons, some of which contain explosives, miniature smoke bombs, or blinding magnesium flares.[http://www.unstable.com/whoswho/thorn.htm] In the 90's, Thorn appeared in a Green Arrow storyline written by Chuck Dixon. After trying to kill a Metropolis crime lord, Thorn was defeated by Eddie Fyers and taken prisoner. After being taped up and gagged in a supply closet, Thorn returned to her Rose persona and began to sob, frightened and confused about what was happening. Her sobs were heard by Connor Hawke (the second Green Arrow), who rescued Rose, eventually teaming with her to take down the crime lord after she returned to her Thorn persona. |
