Behind the cut!

Well, the final Versus came down to Wonder Woman and Cassandra Cain, and the winner by 1192 votes to 1167 is...

...

CASS! HA!

In celebration, some bits from the story No One Dies Tonight, in which Cass carries out her memorial rite on the anniversary of the time she killed someone, by making sure no one dies violently in Gotham. At all.

This includes breaking into a gas chamber to keep a murderer from being executed.










The convict is bewildered by a mysterious ninja breaking him out of his execution, which considering he was ready to die starts to get him worried as to what's going to happen next. The pair then bump into the mother of the woman that the convict murdered, which knocks the wind out of Cass' sails,


Reluctantly, Cass returns him back to the guards (whose ammunition she stole on the way into the prison), and breaks out of the prison again, devastated that she wasn't able to keep the titular promise that she made to herself at the beginning of the issue.

This is from issue 19 of Cass' series.

I assumed her motivation was probably explained in the story itself. I agree that if she feels strongly enough to interfere she should do so all the time, so I gathered there was a reason this individual or case struck a chord.

Okay, the anniversary thing was mentioned, though that seems a little odd to me because I thought she tried her best to keep people from dying every night, but I guess I'll roll with it...

I hate not being able to edit my posts

Based on comments elsewhere in the thread it appears to be a self-imposed anniversary/memorial of her first "kill" for Cain, and her determination that no one should die on that day stems from that, so it's not so much ideological as chronological, and the actual person involved is irrelevant.
