Biography
Nichelle had two sons, Khalil Payne and an unnamed individual, with her husband Kito Payne. After her husband was sent to jail, she was forced to work overly hard to provide for her sons. Following her son's paralysis, Nichelle began working overtime to pay for his hospital bills. When the doctors came to give the news that his spine was completely severed, she came with him and Jefferson Pierce.

Some time after Khalil's return as Painkiller, he visited Nichelle. He gave her some money and a burner phone in order to contact him. Later, while looking for ways to get to Tobias Whale, Black Lightning confronted Nichelle and convinced her to call Khalil and arrange a meeting between the two of them.
