Bombshell is a fictional supervillain in the DC Comics Universe who was first mentioned in Teen Titans vol. 3, #38. She was a member of the Teen Titans during the one year gap after Infinite Crisis. She has similar powers to Captain Atom as she underwent the same alien metal skin experiment that Nathaniel Adam did.
In Teen Titans vol.3, #40, Bombshell was revealed to be a traitor to the Titans, as she threatened to kill Raven, and attacked several members of the team to get a disc that contained the essence of the deceased Titan Jericho, but was stopped by Ravager. At the end of #41, the Titans beat her by shattering her metal skin. Since it was this metal coating that gave her the powers she no longer has her abilities. In Teen Titans vol.3, #43, Cyborg and Miss Martian visit a depowered Bombshell in jail. After refusing to tell them who she worked for, Miss Martian proceeded to probe her mind. In doing so she discovered the existence of Titans East, and that Bombshell was a member. Before any additional information was discovered, Batgirl and Risk broke into the cell — but did not save their former team mate. Instead, Batgirl sliced Bombshell's throat with a batarang.
[edit] Powers
Bombshell has Dilustel (quantum metal) skin like Major Force and Captain Atom, which was cut from the body of an alien lifeform known as the Silver Shield which was captured by Project Atom. This skin makes her nearly invulnerable. She can fly and fire blasts of energy. Bombshell can generate energy waves capable of scrambling the minds of others, and can control electromagnetically powered technology, like the electronic parts of Cyborg.
Bombshell's origin is different from Captain Atom's and Major Force's in that she was not exposed to a nuclear explosion in the course of acquiring her Dilustel coating; she was merely covered with the alien material. Thus, there is no risk of a radiation hazard if her quantum metal skin is breached: in fact, damaging the metal coating beyond a certain point seems to negate her powers as it is not bonded to her body.
