Fictional character biography

Bombshell was a member of the Teen Titans during the one-year gap after Infinite Crisis . She has similar powers to Captain Atom, having been bonded with the same alien metal as him at the insistence of her father, the head of Project Quantum. [1] [2]

Bombshell is later revealed to be a traitor to the Titans. She threatens to kill Raven and attacks several members of the team to obtain a disc that contains the essence of the deceased Titan Jericho, but is stopped by Ravager. [3] The Titans defeat Bombshell by shattering her metal skin, negating her abilities. [4]

Cyborg and Miss Martian later visit Bombshell in jail. After Bombshell refuses to tell them who she works for, Miss Martian probes her mind and discovers the existence of Titans East, of which Bombshell is a member. Before the two can learn any further information, Batgirl breaks into the jail and slices Bombshell's throat with a batarang. [5]

It is later revealed that Bombshell is alive. When Project Quantum learns of her survival, they attempt to have her killed. Bombshell learns that her father is the head of the project and sets out to kill him. Amy's father reveals that her joining Titans East, and her current predicament, is due to a rogue factor within Project Quantum. At his urging, Bombshell agrees to be sheltered by the Titans. [6]

Bombshell and her rival, Aquagirl, are swallowed by a demonic sea monster during a mission to rescue Raven from an extradimensional being called Wyld. [7] After their rescue, Wonder Girl asks Bombshell and Aquagirl to leave the Titans, believing that they are inexperienced and more likely to get into dangerous situations. [8]

Powers and abilities

Bombshell has Dilustel (quantum metal) skin like Major Force and Captain Atom, which was taken from the body of an alien lifeform known as the Silver Shield. This skin makes her nearly invulnerable and grants her a measure of superhuman strength. She can fly, fire blasts of energy capable of scrambling the minds of others, and control electromagnetically powered technology, like the electronic parts of Cyborg. Bombshell's Dilustel coating shields her eyes and gives her immunity to Jericho's abilities of possession, which require eye contact to activate. [4]

In other media

Bombshell appears as a character summon in Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure . [9]
