**Sofia Ramos** is a young woman whose family was rescued by Batman from the Ark Program, a secret metahuman experimentation project run by a cabal of billionaires. When Sofia's parents are both killed she was taken in by Ra's al Ghul, who brainwashed her into being his acolyte **Babylon**. Black Lightning and the Outsiders liberated Sofia from Ra's' control, and she became a member of the team.

## Chronology

**Origins**

When she was young, Sofia and her parents, Gabriel and Ana, were abducted by a consortium of billionaires. The Ramos family was experimented on by these billionaires, who sought to possess a sizeable force of metahumans for their own nefarious purposes. Soon enough this project, known as the "Ark Program" was shut down by Batman, who burned the facility to the ground.

In the aftermath, all of the captives perished except for Sofia and her parents, who all gained metahuman abilities, Batman relocated the family to Los Angeles, hoping they could have a normal happy life together. Unfortunately, the experiments from Ark Program took their toll on Sofia's mother and she died soon after their relocation, leaving Gabriel to raise Sofia all alone.

### On the Run

Years later Sofia and her father, now living a relatively normal life in L.A., were ambushed by a mysterious man while they were stuck in a traffic jam. The man killed her father but could not kill Sofia in the same manner, so he tossed her off the overpass, allowing Sofia to escape thanks to her metahuman powers. She tried to leave town but she was intercepted by Kaliber at the train station who was sent to protect her by Batman. He told her that the man who killed her father is named Ishmael, an enforcer of Ra's al Ghul, an immortal terrorist who apparently wanted Sofia to serve him.
