□ Name: Lana Baumgartner / "Bombshell"
□ Journal: bombshelled
□ Series: Marvel Comics 1610
□ Canon point: post Cataclysm: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #3
□ History: Wiki here.
□ Personality:
Lana is pretty aloof most of the time, not caring about what's going on around her (the world could be literally falling to pieces, people running screaming past her on the street and she'll just walk calmly with her headphones on chewing bubblegum). She was raised by her mother Lori, who before Lana was born was imprisoned at Ryker's Island for armed robbery, and chosen by Roxxon Industries for a genetic experiment. That experiment gave Lori (and the unborn Lana) their powers. Lori wasn't the best role model for Lana, and so she grew up with a life of crime, always being taught to look out for number one. At the time, Lana thought nothing of her villain lifestyle, because she didn't know any different, but once she was 15 and her mother was sent to jail and she went to live with her grandmother and go to high school like a normal girl, she wanted to separate herself from her old lifestyle as much as possible.
More recently, after meeting Cloak, Dagger, Spider-Man, and Spider-Woman, and teaming up with them to take down Roxxon and deal with the insanity that occurred when Galactus showed up, Lana changed her goal from 'ignore my superpowers and be a normal girl' to 'use my powers to help people and be a superhero.' In Lana's words, "I just didn't know what it felt like [...] to do the right thing. I wasn't raised to-- I didn't know." Because of the haphazard way Lori raised her, Lana's sense of right and wrong was so skewed that she never knew how good it could feel to help people, and once she got a taste of it, she wanted more. Really, it's not straying too far from the sort of selfish behavior she showed in the past because while she's helping people and being altruistic, she's doing it because of the way it makes her feel.
Lana's main characteristic is her foul mouth. In the comic, which is marketed to children and can't contain swears, half her dialogue is replaced with @#$!%es or is just "What the swear word is it with you two?!" (actual quote) In fact, Lana's swearing is so bad that it's what clues Peter Parker into her true identity when she starts at his school. It's not known who she got her dirty mouth from, because her mother doesn't swear and there's no father in the picture. It's probably just a product of the rough lifestyle she had as a developing child.
When she was younger, Lana was impulsive, always charging headlong into a fight rather than backing away from one. After she stopped stealing and started going to high school, she began avoiding confrontations in an effort to distance herself from her old life. Now that she's picked up the mantle of Bombshell again, she'll run towards the explosions and fighting rather than away, but we see her making that difficult decision, showing how she's changed as a character in the few years between her old life and now.
We don't know what happens to Lana between when she started at Peter's school and when she shows up in Miles Morales' life, but at some point she started wearing a costume again. I speculate that this is at least in part because when Peter died, everyone found out he was Spider-Man, and Lana saw that the nerdy little guy she knew from school was the same guy who risked his life again and again fighting superpowered criminals. Now, I know Lana never received the "With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility" speech, but she is starting to figure it out on her own.
□ Age: 17 (She's 15 when she starts at Midtown High School, then a little over a year passes between that and her appearances in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Vol. 2 issues 23-28. It's stated in Cataclysm: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1 that she's under 18. In the end, I decided I feel more comfortable playing a 17 year old in a sex game than a 16 year old.)
□ Gender: female
□ Appearance: Brown hair, amber eyes, average height. Her hair length varies from issue to issue, but I'm going to say shoulder length. Pale skin, average sized breasts and ass.
□ Abilities/Powers: When Lana was young, she could only use her powers when in close proximity with her mother, but now she can use them on her own.
Lana can shoot projectile energy beams from her hands for explosive effects or shockwaves, both of which emit loud booming sounds. By directing her blast emissions she is capable of short-ranged flight.
Long story short, she has kablooie powers.
□ Personal Items: A few outfits; her Bombshell costume; her old Bombshell costume, sized up to fit her older body; some makeup; her ipod with headphones.
□ First Person Sample:
[Having a microchip in your brain was weird, Lana had to admit, but who was she to judge? She herself was born out of a science experiment. She thinks and the chip broadcasts her image, standing in front of her bedroom mirror wearing just a pink bra and panties with purple lace.]
So I'm not sure how this place works exactly, but it seems to be in favor of random hookups. And seeing how my asshole of an ex-boyfriend isn't here, I figure I'll ask: Anyone interested? Full disclosure, I'm seventeen, so if that's an issue for you, don't bother replying.
[She winks and ends the feed.]
□ Third Person Sample:
Lana was settling in to Ariel a lot easier than she settled in to most places. And if she was anyone else she'd worry about what that said about her, but being Lana, she just brushed it off and decided to go with it. She misses her powers, and doesn't feel too good about the creepy-anonymous-scientists-doing-surgery-on-her-in-her-sleep part of being kidnapped to a sex city, but all in all, life here isn't so bad. She finally gets to be a normal girl, just like she used to dream of. Sure, it's coming right at the point when she'd finally decided to use her powers for good and become a superhero, but she's lived without powers before, back when she couldn't use them if she and her mom were separated, and she can do it again.
She still carries her ipod around with her, wearing her headphones even though the thing doesn't work. She's heard rumors that it'll start working eventually, if she has enough sex, just like the rumors she heard that said she can get her powers back the same way. That's fine by her; she's having more sex here than she ever did back home, what with Sid being a flake and the world going to shit. So, she walks around with her huge headphones on anyway, humming pop songs and figuring that people will tend to ignore the person with headphones, which suits Lana just fine. If she sees something (or someone) interesting, she takes off her headphones and pursues, but for the most part she ignores everybody and everybody ignores her. Just the way Lana likes it.
