Biography
While she was married to Maxwell Lord, Selina Kyle did not participate of his criminal dealings, and instead ran her own nightclub, the My Alibi, and led her own, small criminal gang, the Birds of Prey.

Selina later sought to kill Maxwell because she did not like living with him at that point, and so, Kyle asked Matt Murdock to reconcile their past relationship and flee from Gotham City. When Matt attempted to invade Lord's mansion to kill him, he was spotted by Nick Manolis, who knocked him out and tortured Murdock for Lord's enjoyment.

A surviving Murdock later sought for Crispus Allen at Josie's Bar, asking him to help invade Maxwell's estate. He agreed as a favor duo to Murdock helping him escape prosecution for police brutality four months earlier, and during their operation, Allen fought and killed Manolis.

Murdock then confronted Lord at his bedroom and beat him to death. A dying Lord then explained Murdock "had been fooled" before passing away; mere seconds later, Kyle appeared and explained that Lord's plan was all a part of her plan so she could inherit his fortune.
