A stunning new cosplay gender swaps Nightwing, and gives fans a taste of what it might look like if Dick Grayson's sister Melinda chose to don his iconic costume.

Melinda Zucco is Nightwing's long lost sister, as revealed in Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo's memorable «Leaping into the Light» storyline. The mayor of Blüdhaven, she reveals her secret connection to Batman's first Robin in Nightwing #81. Melinda was in fact the daughter of John Grayson, Dick's deceased father, and Meili Lin, an escaped slave bride of the mobster Tony Zucco. Meili ran away and hid from her husband in the same circus as the elder Grayson. The two eventually had a relationship together, which resulted in a daughter. The affair took place before the John Grayson met Dick's mother, and Tony Zucco would eventually murder Nightwing's parents. Their deaths would set Dick on the path to vigilantism.
