Weaknesses
- Mental Illness: Since the death of her mother, Kane's sanity began slowly deteriorating and ultimately lost control when he was held hostage for years by the Cartwright. Even after her escape, she was still haunted by her past and appeared to be extremely unstable and violent after Enigma removed the ability to love in her mind, becoming one of Gotham's most notorious terrorists. The illness briefly stopped affecting Kane when she decided to work with her sister, Kate. Unfortunately, she once again became the violent Alice when Kate was claimed to have died, and she slowly began suffering from memory flashes of her past. Kane's relationship with Ocean eventually reset her brain back to the state before Enigma's brainwashing, though was once more undone when Ocean was assassinated. Months later, Kane even started seeing hallucinations and was determined at restoring her mind using the Joker's Joy Buzzer.
