Who is Dallas Riordan?

Origin Dallas Riordan's father and most of her family were police officers so it was natural for her to go into the 'family business'. After some time with the NYPD she became an aide to the mayor of New York City . When the Thunderbolts appeared after the disappearances of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four , the city embraced them as their new hero team so the mayor appointed Dallas as liaison between his office and the new team of "heroes". Dallas like everyone else was completely unaware that her new associates were really super villains in disguise. The ruse was to use their new found publicity to get access to Avengers files and gain their security clearances with which they could take over the world. Dallas quickly began a flirtation with Thunderbolt member Atlas and the two were dating when the group was exposed as villains. The Thunderbolts, led by Citizen V but was now revealed to be Baron Zemo , made their attempt to take over the world and fled to a satellite Zemo had acquired. In order to save face, the mayor chose to blame Dallas for leading him astray and promptly fired her.
