Superheroes with swords

Most DC Comics superheroes in present-day settings did not originate with swords, but a good number went on to use them at one point. Some (Wonder Woman, Robin) even adopted a sword as a regular weapon. 

Not including medieval characters (Silent Knight, Shining Knight) and characters who debuted with swords (Katana, Azrael), below is a gallery of mainstream DC heroes who took up the blade. To maximize the drama, I focused only on comic book covers. The list is incomplete and the image shown is not necessarily the first time that character used a sword. Please identify any oversights in the comments.
