Encounters with the Dark Knight[]
Tricking Jax Pavan[]
- "How pathetic of you Mr. Pavan, you really thought that my name was Rachel Tate?"
- ―Miranda Tate
In 2012, Tate infiltrated Pavan Technology to gain knowledge on Jax Pavan. Tate was determined to get as much vital information from him as possible. To do so, she decided that she should go under the name of Rachel Tate. As Rachel Tate, she became a Pavan Enterprises board member engaged in philanthropic endeavors for Gotham City, including charity fundraising. She personally heavily invested in Pavan Enterprises clean energy fusion reactor project. She persistently tried to meet with Jax to discuss the clean energy project after he shut down the project for three years, but she was ignored by a reclusive Jax. She was described to Jax as "quite lovely" by Maurice and Carl Foxx. Carl also described her as "smart" to Jax and reminded him that, "She has supported the project all the way." Pavan was easily fooled by her trick. He later discovered that she was really Miranda Tate and didn't believe it. Even though the plan was found out, Miranda had some success in her plan. Later, Pavan came back and tried to kill her for what she attempted on him but failed. Right after this incident, Miranda tried to do the same and also failed.
Faking her death[]
- "There's...no way...this bomb...will be stopped. Prepare yourselves. My father's...work...is done."
- ―Miranda faking her death
As her plan didn't work, she decided to fake her death. Believing that her plan to destroy the city wouldn't come true. However, as her plan failed, Pavan flew The Bug and left the city.
- "What an idiotic fool. You really think you're going to win this time?... Well, that's where you are wrong. Because I have a plan, a plan that can't save you or your little friend of yours. You see... I have a neutron bomb and a trigger, a trigger that will make you and this city blow to pieces. Then you and The Incredible 08 Hulk will be killed. Such a shame that this is the end for you, but have a wonderful afterlife, my dear Jax."

- ―Miranda Tate
