  1. Correct!

  2. I’m going to withdraw this one. I was thinking of Mary Elizabeth Kane, almost always known as “Bette”, the alter ego of former Teen Titan Flamebird. I had thought she was originally Batgirl, but on further review it appears those were actually different people with the same name, apparently some sort of DC nerd in-joke. Also, I learned that the clue could have applied to Jimmy Olsen, who was known as both Flamebird and Elastic Lad during his checkered career. So this has been a morning well spent.
