New leader[]
- "The butterflies breath our air and drink our water. But our food sources don't keep them alive, so they had to transport a creature from their planet across the galaxy. And now we know they keep it in the cavern below the farm of Coverdale Ranch. There, they milk the beast to take the amber fluid. To stop the butterflies all we need to do is kill the cow, without it they won't be able to stay alive for more than a couple of weeks. However, they almost certainly know we're on our way to do that now, which means they'll do they can to move the cow before we get there."
- ―Emilia Harcourt to 11th Street Kids[src]
Harcourt and Adebayo arrive confused to the Paws A Moment Veterinary Clinic.
Harcourt and Adebayo quickly traveled to the veterinary on their car and parked it, upon entering the room where John Economos was in, Harcourt confusedly asked what was happening, to which Economos explained how the nurses offered to help Peacemaker to save Eagly while Vigilante threatened them with a gun. When Economos revealed that Vigilante was a restaurant busboy, Vigilante was convinced to kill the nurses by revealing information about his secret identity, Harcourt then convinced Chase not to kill them by telling them that they should just tie them up so they don't escape, to which Chase agreed. At that moment, Leota would be called by her wife so she left the room they were in, Harcourt asked where she was going so Leota explained and left the room.
Harcourt gives all the information about the butterflies and the cow.
Shortly after Adebayo returned with the rest of the team completely convinced to kill the cow, to which Harcourt asked what was going to happen to her wife, to which Adebayo said that she would be fine. Economos asked how they would solve the mission without Murn, so Adebayo looked at Harcourt as the right person to lead the team, and then the rest of the colleagues saw her convinced that she would guide them, Harcourt agreed to guide and proceeded to explain all the information that collected about butterflies. Harcourt mentioned how the butterflies had to transport the creature known as the cow across the galaxy since she fed them with the amber fluid and it hid under the Coverdale Ranch, to stop the butterflies Harcourt said they should only kill the cow and make sure they weren't discovered as they could move the cow by teleportation, definitely hurting the mission.
Harcourt and the 11th Street Kids are on their way to travel to the Coverdale Ranch to kill the cow.
When Harcourt asked who was with her, the entire team agreed to join the mission, including the nurses who were also convinced, however Harcourt and the entire team told them that they could not go as they were only going to die. The 11th Street Kids then tied the nurses to chairs to prevent their escape and proceeded to hijack one of their trucks. Harcourt and the team took their equipment and headed to the truck to travel to the Coverdale Ranch to complete the mission, in the car Harcourt sat next to Economos, who at one point turned up the volume of the radio stating that there was no wrong time to rock, to which Harcourt smiled.[9]
Infiltration at Coverdale Ranch[]
- "They'll be teleporting this cow in any minute. We need to find out and look for the helmet."
- ―Emilia Harcourt to 11th Street Kids[src]
Harcourt opens the back door of the truck.
After a few hours, the team arrived and positioned themselves near the ranch around a forest, going down Harcourt opened the back door for Peacemaker, Vigilante and Adebayo to get out. Leota then decided to call her mother Amanda Waller to request reinforcements to which Harcourt asked Adebayo to tell Waller that if they were late the butterflies would teleport the cow out of the ranch so it was her only chance to stop them.
Harcourt talks on Adebayo's phone.
However, Waller said that Harcourt was in charge of her and that Economos and Leota should stay if something went wrong, to which a frustrated Harcourt replied to Waller having heard her call when Adebayo brought her cell phone. The team moved forward and headed into the woods carrying their weapons, while Harcourt positioned herself and watched the butterflies in the distance with a binocular. When Adebayo asked about Peacemaker's helmets, he responded by explaining what they were for to which Harcourt asked about the functionality of the Anti-Gravity helmet.
Harcourt gets frustrated as the Anti-Gravity helmet moves away.
Shortly after Adebayo would mistakenly activate the Anti-Gravity helmet while the team watched after Vigilante noted it, frustrating Harcourt. She then asked how they would get Sonic Boom's helmet to the barn, to which Peacemaker suggested throwing it from the trees and letting it slide. When the team started comparing the idea to the Green Arrow, Harcourt said that it wouldn't work further frustrating her, so Peacemaker suggested that Eagly fly to the barn leaving the helmet, which she was not entirely convinced about.
Harcourt and the 11th Street Kids watch Eagly carry Peacemaker's helmet to the Coverdale Ranch.
Peacemaker then proceeded to give Eagly instructions, however Harcourt mentioned that there was no way an eagle would understand him, while Eagly made negative gestures towards Harcourt, Peacemaker then asked Eagly to wear the helmet causing him to pay attention and start flying with it. Harcourt and the team watched for a few excited moments thinking the plan worked, however Eagly turned around and threw the helmet into some trees in the woods.
Harcourt asks for help searching for Peacemaker's helmet.
Harcourt got angry and remided the team that the butterflies were going to teleport the cow and that they should hurry asking everyone to look for the helmet immediately. As they searched, Harcourt asked Adebayo what made her change her mind, to which she replied that seeing Eagly hug Peacemaker she felt a signal. Harcourt then wryly asked her why she wasn't a signal to run in the opposite direction and not risk her life, Harcourt then went off to look elsewhere frustrated that she couldn't find the helmet anywhere.
Harcourt finds Peacemaker's helmet among the leaves of a tree.
Harcourt approached Peacemaker and observed how he was having hallucinations with his father to the point of throwing a dart at a tree. Confused, she asked Smith what he was doing and proceeded to look at the dart in the tree. Seeing it in detail, Harcourt was surprised to find Peacemaker's helmet among the leaves and ran to grab it. Excited to find it, Harcourt asked Smith to do something else for her as she watched him, asking him to kill the ranch's butterfly guard, which Smith did without a hitch as sunset approached.
Harcourt asks Economos to infiltrate the Coverdale Ranch.
At night, Harcourt and the team prepared to execute the mission while she explained that the only way to get the helmet in is for someone to infiltrate it as incognito, so Harcourt asked Economos since he was the only one who Eek Stack Ik Ik never met, Economos then began to complain, after some discussion Economos accepted and proceeded to dress as an infiltrator. When John headed towards the Coverdale Ranch, Harcourt established a connection with him through the radio-communicator, John would briefly look back at the team, however Harcourt asked him not to, when Economos became upset Harcourt asked him to stay calm.
Harcourt establishes communication with Economos.
Economos would be discovered by a butterfly who asked what he was coming for, worrying Harcourt, however John managed to evade it and managed to enter the ranch leaving the helmet, however being inside Economos said he couldn't do it, to which Harcourt told him that he would. he was doing fine and asked him what was there. Economos said that there were some stairs through which he could go down to leave the helmet, to which Harcourt asked him to go down to leave it as close as possible to the cow, halfway down the route, however, John would return when he saw the creature, Harcourt tried to communicate with John again and he replied about the size of the cow.
Harcourt watches Economos from a distance with her binoculars.
Seeing through the binoculars that Economos was returning, Harcourt told Leota to get ready to use the radio-communicator and activate the helmet. However as John was leaving, a butterfly asked Economos what his host was like, to which Economos began to talk about himself explaining how he dyed his beard, while Harcourt listened and watched through binoculars. When Economos returned with the team, it would be discovered along with the helmet.
Harcourt prepares her weapon to fight against the butterflies.
Harcourt watched worriedly as Leota almost dropped the comlink but managed to perform the explosion multiple times. When John returned, Harcourt along with Peacemaker and Vigilante loaded their weapons and prepared to battle the butterflies, Leota suggested that they help, however Harcourt asked him to stay so that he could help them if something happened, once they were ready, the three headed towards the fight.[10]
Battle at Coverdale Ranch[]
- "Help... Chris."
"I have to get you out of here."
"Go..." - ―Emilia Harcourt and Leota Adebayo[src]
Harcourt, Smith, and Chase start shooting butterflies as they head to the Coverdale Ranch.
Emilia Harcourt, Peacemaker, and Vigilante slowly walked towards the ranch and when a butterfly spotted them, they began shooting at each butterfly that came towards them, where Harcourt used her shotgun, killing multiple of them. Shortly after, the team began to run closer to them, to kill more easily. While Harcourt was shooting it she began to briefly use her knife against some butterflies that were approaching her, however she was pushed by a butterfly man who knocked her to the ground, but quickly managing to slash his head to kill him and be able to get up.

Harcourt quickly switched weapons and used her pistol to assist Peacemaker with an oncoming butterfly, then ran off shooting more butterflies in the head. When Smith saw Eek Stack Ik Ik go down to the basement of the ranch, Emilia asked him to go kill the cow while they took care of stopping the rest of the butterflies.
Harcourt is injured by the butterflies while trying to continue fighting.
While she continued to fight when there were few enemies left, Harcourt shot a man in the head, however this made it easier for another butterfly to shoot her with a shotgun from a distance causing damage, Harcourt aimed to fall and managed to kill the butterfly with a shotgun to the head, but was shot again by another butterfly that also managed to fight back killing him. Harcourt about to faint, she then fell to the ground spitting blood from her mouth.
Harcourt is saved by Adebayo from being killed by a butterfly.
Adebayo saw Harcourt fall and quickly ran two pistols towards her as she killed multiple butterflies that tried to get close to her. A butterfly without a host saw Harcourt on the ground, so it flew over it and proceeded to approach its mouth to enter it, the butterfly was about to achieve it, however Adebayo would arrive to save it by removing the butterfly from its mouth before that it could enter completely, when removing it Adebayo grabbed it in his hand and killed it with a shot.
Harcourt asks Adebayo to help Chris Smith kill the cow.
Adebayo, then concerned, approached Harcourt to speak to her, asking her to stay with her, however Harcourt with her few breaths asked her to help Smith, when Adebayo told her that she should get her out of the ranch, Harcourt insisted that helping Smith was more important. Adebayo asked her what she should make of it, to which the injured Economos approached her and passed the Human Torpedo helmet to her, whereupon she proceeded to go.
Harcourt is carried on Peacemaker's shoulders after killing the cow.
Adebayo and Smith would manage to kill the cow as well as all the butterflies below, so upon returning to the surface, Smith found a frightened Harcourt lying on the ground and passed out with many injuries.

- "Just be careful with this one."
"You know, they say the gods created us, but we're the ones who always wind up burying them... Waller sends her regards." - ―Hawkman and Emilia Harcourt[src]

After recovering from her hip injury, Harcourt returned to work for Amanda Waller at A.R.G.U.S.. Eventually, Harcourt was assigned by Waller to the secret underwater prison at the Task Force X Black Site facility, where she waited for the Justice Society to transport former champion Teth-Adam to be imprisoned. When Hawkman and Doctor Fate arrived parking the Hawk Cruiser, Harcourt and her troops came over to greet them, to which Nelson asked if she was surprised to see them, which Harcourt denied.
Nelson then asked if they could contain Adam, to which Harcourt replied in a mocking way that he was the one who could see the future and that he should know. Hawkman asked her to be very careful with Teth-Adam, so Harcourt talked about how, presumably, the gods had created them, but it was the humans who always ended up burying them, Harcourt and the troops then proceeded to retreat with Adam's body, not without first mentioning to the Society that Waller sent her regards.[11]

Harcourt bristles at Economos's complaints.
Eventually, Harcourt and John Economos were ordered by Amanda Waller to go to Philadelphia to recruit superhero Billy Batson into the Justice Society, Harcourt was also notified that Batson was immature. Arriving and parking away from Batson, Harcourt became angry when Economos continued asking about how far to get to Batson, stating that Batson was not expecting them and she did not want to scare him away, frustrating Economos who claimed that Batson was a hero and not a deer.
Harcourt welcomes Billy Batson to the Justice Society.
Harcourt then chided him that Waller would scold them if they didn't accomplish the mission, making fun of Economos's shoes. Upon arrival, Economos and Harcourt interrupted the practice with bottles of Batson's, revealing his secret identity, although Batson tried to hide his identity, they explained that they already knew who he was and his special abilities, offering to join the Justice, something Batson quickly accepted, so Harcourt welcomed him into the Justice Society.
Harcourt retires after completing her mission.
When Batson asked if the Justice Society was different from the Justice League, Harcourt claimed that it was true, disappointing Batson who wanted to work with Wonder Woman, being fed up with immature behavior from Batson, Harcourt left having completed the mission while Economos asked her to come pick him up in the car.[12]
Personality[]
- "Don't worry about Harcourt, she doesn't really like anybody."
- ―John Economos to Leota Adebayo[src]
Harcourt is an agent who is not afraid to use criminals to force them to fulfill missions, which is why she was recruited by Amanda Waller to guide Task Force X during the mission of Corto Maltese. Harcourt was also seen gambling money with her teammates to find out which squad member would survive and who wouldn't, hinting at her liking for gambling. When Flo Crawley knocked out Amanda Waller for her null interest in helping the citizens of Corto Maltese when Starro attacked the island, Emilia Harcourt quickly set out to assist Task Force X, regardless of a violation of Amanda's orders. Later, when she woke up from the blow, Harcourt and her companions felt uncomfortable for disobeying her.[1]
At the start of Project Butterfly, Harcourt was cold and apathetic towards her team mates, firmly believing that the mission was little more than just Waller's way of getting revenge for their previous rebellion against her. Harcourt showed the most disgust toward Peacemaker out of everyone on the team, whom she saw as little more than just a sexist, dumb brute. Over the course of the mission however, Harcourt slowly begins to warm up towards the rest of the team and begins to see the more humane side of Christopher Smith, to the point where she even begins to sympathize with him.
When the forged diary that Adebayo snuck into Peacemaker's trailer was used to incriminate him, Harcourt immediately defended Smith and confronted Adebayo over the incident, showing how much her views towards Smith had improved to where she now sees him as a genuine friend. She once again showed this during the Battle at Covedale Ranch, when despite the fact she was seriously injured after being shot by two Butterflies, she insisted that Leota focus on helping Chris take down the Cow. Leota also sees Murn as her friend and was affected by his death. After Murn's death Harcourt was elected to be the team's new leader, a position she gladly took showing fully trust towards everyone in the team, though she still found herself annoyed whenever someone in the team did something dumb.
