Delbert Billings (the original Spellbinder) turned down Neron's offer, and was shot by his girlfriend Fay Moffit, who then became the third Spellbinder (aka, Lady Spellbinder).

Neron granted her the ability to induce genuine hallucinations, and she is followed by Batman and Robin, but they did not count on the scale of her illusion-casting abilities, which extend to making absolutely everything disappear. She escapes from Batman and Robin due to her ability to create a total illusion in her immediate vicinity, which remains even if they close their eyes. They realize that the only way to be able to approach her safely is if the approach is controlled by someone outside her immediate area of influence. Robin acts as Batman's eyes once Spellbinder is tracked down by the police, guiding him through a version of virtual reality technology. Once captured, she discovers that her deal with Neron was not all she'd hoped - if her eyes are covered, her illusion-casting abilities no longer function.

She subsequently created an illusory world in which Barbara Gordon was Batgirl (although she did not realize this had once been true). She had been hired by Blockbuster to kidnap Oracle. Oracle was able to defeat her when she attacked her with a fire extinguisher (to blind her and prevent her from casting illusions) and a club, and then tied her up for the cops. (Birds of Prey: Batgirl)

She returned to Birds of Prey when Black Canary and Catwoman were kidnapped by the rogue parademon Pharzoof. She was being transported with several fellow villains when their train was hi-jacked and taken to Apokolips. The villains battled the parademons, and eventually were returned to Earth where they were taken to the Slab.

Later she battled Black Canary. Black Canary is trapped inside Slabside Penitentiary along with a host of villains infected by the Joker, making them even more crazed than ever. Her sonic cry is able to give most of them pause, but Joker sends Copperhead and Hellgrammite after her, as neither have ears. After dealing with them, she is briefly confronted by the Shadow-Thief before meeting, to her great relief, Batman, Superman and Mary Marvel. However, she soon notices that Marvel's lightning bolt is backwards, and the heroes are revealed to be an illusion created by Spellbinder, the first of the female villains affected by the Joker. Much later, Canary is comforted by Blue Beetle and Oracle - even though she was sucker-punched by Spellbinder, she did later warn Nightwing and Batman of the Joker's wider-reaching plans, effectively saving their lives.

Spellbinder was apparently killed alongside the Trigger Twins by a group of gun-toting super-heroes during Infinite Crisis.
