#63 - Trish McKenzie
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/0/0/AADKmbAAEI3k.jpg
Patricia McKenzie, twin sister of Alexander Fields McKenzie, was in truth the daughter of the Reverse-Flash, a girl cobbled together and birthed with the express purpose of helping the nefarious Eobard Thawne in his quest to expand his domination of time to one of space as well. Carefully monitored by the Reverse-Flash, who masqueraded as her therapist, the Reverse-Flash came to Trish often over the years and manipulated her, adding to her trauma as she endured injections and mental manipulations.

Trish ended up a slacker, a party girl, and after dropping out of college, a dependent of Fields meager musician paychecks. Along the way, however, she became a close friend of Barbara Gordon, introducing her to Fields - an act for which Fields would be forever grateful. Her future sliding into a place of abject depression, Trish was nearing an impending overdose when the earthquake that rocked Gotham turned her life upside-down. Trapped in Gotham due to the No Mans Land edict, Trish was among those refugees that fell in with the party-orgy lifestyle of the Mad Hatter. However, the False Mad Hatter capitalized on this bacchanalia and planted mind-controlling masks on the people of the territory, including Trish. Eventually, she was reawakened from this manipulation by Fields and his friends, and Trish returned with them to the Gazette.

At this point, the False Mad Hatters effects began to deprogram certain aspects of Trishs mental manipulations - but as it would turn out later, not the ones put in place by Reverse-Flash, but by Zatanna, who had mindwiped Trish upon her request after spending a summer at Doom Manor. Trish began to unspool, the eclectic alternate variations of herself slowly forcing her original personality to retract and remain dormant under their more powerful identities. In a hope that she could come to control her physical symptoms, Fields brought Trish to Deathstroke for teaching. But even Deathstroke was unaware of the extent of what had transpired in Trishs past. Fields and the other heroes of No Mans Land began to run into Inverse-Flash, Horror Baby Killer Muffin, the effects of Belleblazer, and others, while Trish retreated into the streets and disappeared from the Gazette.

Around this time, Rozetta and Fields began to study a diary they found in Trishs now-empty quarters, and through that diary, started to piece together the truth - Trishs parentage, the multiples of Trish from alternate realities, and a hint as to her location at the time. Trish was found in a strange form of suspended animation at the time, and with the help of Slade, a large group of Trishs colleagues entered the Bleed and found Trish, only aged 8, inside, among hallway filled with closed doors. Each door possessed a Trish inside - and the only way to free the Trish they knew was to convince the Trishes of this place to end their own lives. One by one, Fields convinced Trish after Trish to kill herself, all to protect the Little Trish he had known as his sister, pure and uncorrupted by the machinations of the Reverse-Flash. Ultimately, Fields learned that his Trish required a second, alternate Trish to serve as a host of sorts, to fill the cracks in the real Trish left open by the damage of the Reverse-Flash. A Trish was chosen - one that had been reared by Lex Lulthor in her world, who had killed the Penguin and usurped his empire. One who had become fiercely independent. All of this seemed to be according to some plan of the Reverse-Flash. It was said that the multiverse had ceased existing in the Crisis, but through the expulsion of the Bleed from Trishs own system, the Multiverse, which had been germinating within her for several years, all at once burst forth, returning to its state of meta-reality. Trish had been housing multitudes of worlds within, and now, as if theyd never left, the Multiverse had returned. Or more properly put, that which existed had been changed, but also had now always been this way. Reality smoothed itself over, and time, which exists only as a measurement of past and present, adjusted accordingly.

Afterwards, Trish began to display new abilities - most likely thanks to the Lex-Trish. By kicking broken objects, Trish discovered she was able to instantaneously repair them. Trish also began to craft objects seemingly from nowhere, nonsense things suchas Ivar, an almost but not completely un-doglike companion, Patchs voicebox, and the bapplegun. Trish also seemed to fall in with Lex Luthor, just like her counterpart - but the truth was, Trish used Lex to build Johns brother Jack a new body - a Jimmy Olsen robot refitted to be possessed by a ghost.

After the end of No Mans Land, Trish made her way into the cosmos with Fields, Ivar and Nina, and they spent years together, mapping the Bleed - a concept that heretofore had never existed and yet now made up the majority of existence. Recently, Fields disappeared, and Trish remained in the Bleed, searching for her brother. But a message sent through Trishs mindwiped memories to Misty Kilgore informed some of her old friends - including Oracle - that she was alive and well, and in need of their support.

But the story didn't end there - recently, it was revealed that Trish spent a summer of her life at the Doom Patrol Mansion, all of this stemming from a long-abandoned journal. For some, a diary written by Patricia McKenzie seemed old hat, but for others, insight into the mind of a woman that contained several dozen alternate iterations of herself read like the ravings of a mad woman. And maybe she was - Patricia McKenzie had never told her old friends that she spent a summer in Doom Manor while her brother, Fields, went off to Switzerland. But the truth was, Trish had been percolating new personalities for years before she revealed them to Alex, and a single diary in her old quarters have begun to reveal the truth. Through a series of messages written between herself and the many-personed mind of Crazy Jane, a Doom Patrol mainstay, a high school-aged Trish is telling the story of how she came to learn the truth about herself, and how her strange disorder brought her closer to a girl with something similar and yet entirely different. Ultimately this version of Trish was mindwiped by Zatanna - yet a piece of her remained a captive in Misty's mind, sending out a broadcast to the refugees of Z'onn Z'orr, a great warning channeled through her past from a Trish of the present - an urgent warning about the dangers of the Bleed. But how did this Trish become the Trish of the present learn of the Trish of the past and find a way to use her to everyone's advantage?

And just what awaits the party when they find their long-lost ally? Despite only managing the shortest of appearances in the campaign thus far, Trish tantalizes with a promise of something grander - far grander - and something that could have massive ramification in the war against Darkseid.
