Cheyenne Freemont is a fictional character who appears in the DC Comics series Nightwing. She is a super-powered fashion designer who shared an intimate relationship with Nightwing (Dick Grayson).
[edit] History
The child of two metahuman parents, young Cheyenne witnessed firsthand how people reacted to others with powers, as her family was run out of town due to their strange abilities. When her own powers emerged, she kept them hidden for fear that people would hate her as they did her parents. Her flair for design led her to become a famous clothing designer. She was content to live a normal life, until she crossed paths with Dick Grayson, the superhero known as Nightwing.
After Cheyenne spends a night with Dick, a man who has feelings for her proceeds to beat her for her tryst with Dick. Cheyenne uses her psionic powers to blast him away with a force bolt. Later, when Jason Todd threatens her, Dick (as Nightwing) comes to her rescue, only to become an accidental model in her fashion show. Cheyenne learns that Dick is Nightwing, and Dick learns that Cheyenne is a metahuman. He tries to convince her to become a superhero, but she refuses, not wanting to expose herself as a metahuman. Only when Jason Todd became a prisoner of two super-powered brothers who intended to kill him, did Cheyenne use her abilities to help. She creates a costume similar to Nightwing's and uses her powers to help Nightwing save Jason, before retiring as the female Nightwing.
[edit] Powers
Cheyenne possesses the power of telekinesis, an ability she can use to manipulate objects with her mind. Her control over her powers is so acute, that she can psionically give someone a deep-tissue massage, while sitting in another room. She can fire bolts of pure psychic force that can knock a full-grown man across a room, or shatter furniture. When a living slime creature tried to engulf her in protoplasmic gel, Cheyenne was able to project waves of concussive psychokinetic power from her body and caused the creature to explode.
