| “ | When I was little, Cadmus made me play all kinds of games, but they weren't any fun either. They'd strap me into their machines and poke wires into my brain. "Ace can you move this object with your mind?" Yeah, I can move it... They weren't really games you know. They were training me. Turning me into a weapon "for justice" they said. They got their weapon. I got cheated out of my childhood.. | „ |

Summary
Ace is a minor yet significant character in the DC Animated Universe.
Ace was one of five children that were kidnapped and placed in a government-funded facility where they were trained to use their powers for the purpose of being used as weapons. Years later, the Joker freed the children and formed them into the Royal Flush Gang team, using four of its team members as interference to prevent the Justice League from defusing all the bombs he had set up in Las Vegas, while using Ace to manipulate the minds of those watching the Justice League in action on television. However, she turned against the Joker when Batman revealed he was using her.
Ace was later retrieved by Cadmus. Eventually she escaped and created her own Royal Flush Gang by giving powers to four other people. At that time, her powers have grown much stronger but caused enormous strain on her brain which would eventually lead to a fatal aneurysm that would result in her obliterating the city she was in. Amanda Waller then asked Batman to get near Ace so he could use a special weapon to kill her before that could happen. Because she could read his mind however, Ace knew he had no intention of killing her and aware she was dying simply asked him to stay with her because she was scared. Batman held her hands until she died peacefully in his arms, an act of compassion that would lead Waller to believe the world would always need someone like Batman.
