Biography[]
Stiletto[]
A.J. and fellow thug Bruno Mannheim ambushed Chloe Sullivan outside a writer gala event. Lois Lane heard her screams and went to her aid; she whacked Bruno with her stiletto heels before kicking A.J. down. However, Bruno escaped with Chloe's handbag and car, which contained her laptop. A beaten A.J. sarcastically asked Lois if she was some sort of superhero, to which Lois replied she was and called herself Stiletto.
A.J. was then arrested, but was released on bail and returned to the Ace of Clubs where Bruno recently took over. The new bartender, Jimmy Olsen arrived late to work when Bruno and A.J. noticed he had a camera and took it away from him. They admired it before recognizing Chloe and Stiletto in his photos. A.J. then shoved Jimmy onto the balcony where Bruno beats him, demanding to know who Stiletto is, before hitting him with the camera so hard that it fell over the rail onto the street. Bruno then ordered A.J. to find where Chloe was while Ricky would unlock her laptop.
At the Talon, Chloe was coming downstairs to the basement when A.J. attacked her. He held a knife to her throat demanding she tell him who Stiletto was. She managed to break free, but A.J. caught up to her and pinned her against a wall with a knife. As he was about to slit her throat, Doomsday emerged from the basement of the Talon, drags him away and brutally killed him. After Doomsday finished him off, Chloe bagged up A.J.'s remains into two large garbage bags and threw them into a dumpster at the back of the Talon. Seeing blood on her hands caused Chloe to break down in tears.
