Fleur de Lys made her debut in 1984 in the third issue of New Triumph. According
to the story line, martial arts expert Manon Deschamps assumed the costumed
identity of Fleur de Lys, operating in real Montreal area locations, and joined
forces with Northguard, New Triumph's featured hero. Although not the product
of a world war, she, too, served to protect Canada--this time from a threatened
takeover by a tight-wing evangelical group and from organized crime. Her Catwoman-like
super hero costume is blue and white and emblazoned with one French canadian
fleur-de-lys on her forehead and two more on her body. She carries a nonlethal
weapon shaped like a fleur-de-lys that protects her by producing bright flashes
of light.
Montreal writer Mark Shainblum created the script and Montreal artist Gabriel
Morrissette did the artwork. After an eight-part adventure series, financial
difficulties forced the end of Fleur de Lys and Northguard in 1990.
