Bombshell is a fictional superhero 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 may no longer have her abilities.
[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 had was captured by Project Atom. This skin makes her nearly invulnerable. She also can fly and fire blasts of explosive energy. She 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.
[edit] Trivia
She was initially referred to by Geoff Johns as 'Lieutenant Atom'.[citation needed]
