[edit] Creation

The "Miss Dynamite" character was created in 1990 as a secondary character for several unfinished comics, although her name at the time was Iva Sauter. In 1993 she was renamed Catharina Eva Sirkowski, and became the main focus of the comic series that followed. Miss Dynamite's middle name was supposed to remain the same, but because of a mistake from the author, Iva became Eva. Also, the family name Sirkowski would have been a reference to Russian pioneer of aviation Igor Sikorsky, but the author made a typo.

[edit] Main characters

[edit] Eva Sirkowski

Also known as Miss Dynamite, although she is believed to be of Russian nationality as of her surname, it is hard to prove. She can speak English like a girl from Florida, but she also manages to speak many languages without any English accent. She herself claims to be Russian-born and has a deep knowledge of that country's system, history, and culture. And at times she acts as if she was the last true living Bolshevik. But considering her taste for wealth and hard-core capitalism, she's most likely pulling our leg.

[edit] Blackie Chin

Tanpopo "Blackie" Chin is of Japanese and Chinese descent and the only child of millionaire Mutsuhito Chin. When she was only six years old, her father was killed by Yoshi Hamaya, who then took control of the Chin Corporation. Scared for her life, Chin ran away and hid in the Sanya neighbourhood of Tokyo, where she grew up among junkies, prostitutes and pimps. It is unclear how and where she acquired her martial arts skills, but when she was mature, she tried to kill Yoshi Hamaya and take back what rightfully belonged to her but Yoshi convinced her otherwise. Blackie wasn't keen at the idea of becoming a business woman so she relinquished her empire to Hamaya, in exchange for a fat pay cheque.
