(Though she may still be an alien - yes, enough European heritage would mean it's possible for her to be a natural redhead, but all we know about her childhood is she grew up in an orphanage. Because her parents were on a different planet, maybe? The story never says, so you can imagine what you want.)<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/funko_dcbsmm1_hg1.jpg\" "\\"Bombshells")
The DC Bombshells<\/i> line added a lot of diversity to the ranks of the characters - not just of the L<\/a>GB<\/a>T<\/a> variety (though they did obviously do that), but also ethnicities and nationalities. A new Elseworlds is a great excuse to stop everyone from being lily-white Americans, and Bombshells<\/i> was all about it. Harley's<\/a> from Britain instead of Brooklyn, Ivy<\/a> grew up by the Seine instead of Seattle... so okay, they're both still white, but Hawkgirl is now Latina, having grown up in both Mexico and Brazil.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/www.oafe.net\/yo\/art\/dcdbombs2hg2.jpg\" "\\"original")
Bombshells<\/i> Hawkgirl doesn't have her big naturals: the wings, that is. And she doesn't use gravity-defying metal to let her fly, either, opting instead for a Rocketeer<\/a>-like jetpack she (presumably) built herself, being a fancy engineer and all. Her helmet has little winglets and angry yellow eyes, its shape reminiscent of her Wolverine-ish mask<\/a>. This Mini may set a record for the amount of translucent plastic used on a non-translucent character: not only are the exhaust plumes from her jetpack<\/a> yellow, but they also remembered to include her pink bubble gum, which is more than we can say for the action figure<\/a>.<\/p>\n
