 Powers/Abilities:
Hellion had superhuman strength, enabling her to lift up to 2
tons.
She may or may not have
possessed
some degree of superhuman durability, enhanced healing, speed,
agility,
etc.
As her father was a police
officer, it would seem likely that she was experienced in
self-defense
and/or perhaps some forms of martial arts.
She carried a handgun, with
which she had some level of experience and skill.
She rode a 1950
Harley Davidson custom-chromed Fat Boy, and she was
an experienced motorcycle rider.
Hellion had the balance and
agility to briefly stand on her Harley's seat, facing backwards
while
riding at high speeds, and to fire her handgun, with presumable
proficiency.
.
Height: Unrevealed (she was not noted to be
excessively short nor tall, so perhaps 5'5" to 5'8")
Weight: Unrevealed (perhaps 115 to 135 lbs.)
Eyes: Unrevealed
Hair: Black (or dark brown)
.
History:
(Presumably from the Excelsior handbook and/or notes from Roy
Thomas) -
Bent on avenging her murdered Los Angeles Police Department
(LAPD)
father, Jamie Barada was inundated with unknown energies that
mysteriously endowed her super-powers to battle the largest
corporation in the world.
Scantily clad (in a "cotton party
dress," a gift from her father that she wore symbolically),
Hellion
rode a 1950 Harley Davidson custom-chromed Fat Boy.
Comments: Created by Stan
Lee, Marv Wolfman and Leo Durana.
Hellion was intended to be
part of the Stan Lee-created Excelsior line circa 1996, which
never
actually came out.
Stan specifically wanted to include a female
headliner, and he had originally chosen to write Hellion himself,
but
he eventually appreciated that he didn't have the time to do so,
and so
Marv Wolfman was piped in to script the series.
More information on
Excelsior Comics is included in Omega's
profile, and you can check out Comic Book Creators#33 for a lot
more
information!
With Stan
Lee
and Leo Durana both having passed on, and with Marv Wolfman not
remembering anything about the character when I asked him, the
information provided by Roy for Comic Book Creators#33 is likely all we are ever going to get on
Hellion. I feel like Roy must have a copy of the Excelsior
handbook...
While the
characters are most likely alternate reality,
having been intended to be apart from the Marvel Universe,
there's
really not any reason they could not have existed in Reality-616
in the
mid-1990s, which given the sliding timescale, would have taken
place
over 20 years (as of 2025, and counting) before the Fantastic
Four's
spaceflight.
It would be
cool if legal issues ever allowed
Marvel to adapt the characters to some sort of "Lost Generation"
story,
covering the next few decades after the end of the First Line.
Major kudos to Loki for
tracking down the article in Comic Book
Creator#33.
