History
Lashawn Baez was an unconfident grad student at Central City Medical School, who left her studies when her father got ill. Lashawn was to donate a kidney to him, but the operation triggered her meta-gene and made her explode when being touched. Now unable to donate any organ, she refined her meta-human abilities so that she could teleport by splitting her self down to molecules and then re-build her body elsewhere. As Peekaboo, she snuck into Central City Hospital to steal a kidney. Accidentally destroying a lab, she was forced to fight the Flash (III) and Cyborg (I) who defeated Lashawn and sent her to Iron Heights. During Gorilla Grodd's attack on the prison, Peekaboo escaped and visited her father who had been given a new kidney. However, his body rejected it and Lashawn watched him die. When Flash appeared, Lashawn furiously revealed that she had originally intended to become a hero, but after being branded a Rogue by Flash, she rejected him and all he stood for. Nevertheless, Lashawn saved the life of Linda Park when she was injured in the battle. Peekaboo then turned herself in to the police, and remains in their custody.
