Line 21:
David Cain is one of the world's premier [[assassin]]s, taking out some of the most famous and powerful people on the planet, no matter how seemingly impossible the task.
 
Exceptionally meticulous, Cain's success can be partially attributed to his painstaking preparation, always planning far ahead for any contingency: hence his decision to train someone to be his partner and eventual successor. Several attempts failed before he succeeded in illegally acquiring a child who, at an extraordinarily early age, showed stunning physical prowess - the female who would one day become the new [[Batgirl#Cassandra_Cain|Batgirl]]. While it was originally believed that he had adopted her, recent issues suggest he may actually be her biological father.
 
Naming her [[Cassandra]], Cain trained the young girl in every imaginable form of violence, from hand-to-hand combat to weapons and explosives. To further her skills, Cain never taught her how to speak; instead, physical movement became her language --she learned to read a person's body language as well and easily as other people can understand speech. This skill led Cassandra to be able to predict exactly what her opponents were going to do, sometimes before they knew it themselves.
