Duela Dent is a fictional character in the DC Universe. She is a former member of the Suicide Squad, the Teen Titans and its counterpart, Titans East. Introduced under the alias of Joker's Daughter, she has also used the aliases Catgirl, Scarecrone, Riddler's Daughter, Penguin's Daughter, Card Queen, and Harlequin.
Duela Dent first appeared as Joker's Daughter in the Batman Family series of comic books. She gained the attention of Robin (Dick Grayson), as she later claimed to be the daughter of Catwoman, Scarecrow, Riddler, and Penguin. She deduced Robin's identity and he revealed that she was Duela Dent, Two-Face's daughter.
Duela claimed she wanted to join the Teen Titans to atone for her father's crimes; however, not all members of the Titans were in favor of this idea. In Teen Titans #48 she changed her identity to Harlequin. As Harlequin, Duela utilized gimmicks such as smoke-inducing powder puffs and bullet-firing lipstick.
After the Teen Titans comic books were canceled, she popped up in the Batman titles, calling herself Card Queen while infiltrating a criminal organization called MAZE. Duela's last pre-Crisis appearance is in Tales Of The Teen Titans #50, as a guest at Donna Troy's wedding where she appears to be a middle aged matron. Dick Grayson notes that he'd finally realized she was too old to be Two-Face's daughter; she agrees then disappears before he can take the matter further.
Delusional and schizophrenic, the mysterious Harlequin has been in and out of mental institutions for several years. An acrobat who possesses numerous "clown-motif" gadgets, she calls herself Duela Dent (while her true identity remains unknown) and acts as an ally to the Titans.
