In addition to her solo features, writer Gail Simone made Manhunter into one of the lead characters in her "Birds of Prey" series as part of a controversial revamp in issue #100, where Kate was brought in to serve as a replacement for Black Canary. Manhunter remained with the team until the book's cancellation with issue #127 in 2009, and was not part of the subsequent 2010 relaunch. Writer Marc Guggenheim announced that in 2011, Manhunter would begin appearing in his "Justice Society of America" series.
