History:
Suzy’s life was more directionless then most second generation heroes.
While she had a Superhero Barbie( and her Malibu Secret Base, complete
with a Jacuzzi), she never knew she’d wear some silly yellow and black
tights and fight E.V.I.L. .
But all that changned one night when she was woken up late on her
brother’s 16th birthday. Since he was away at SCHOOL(it really peeved
her that he got to go to that cool private school) she didn’t know why
she heard HIS voice in the living room. She snuck into the living room
and saw him wearing an ULTRA cool suit. Her dad was proud and her mom
was talking about all sorts of exo improvements she could make to the
suit. Her brother said he wanted none of that, while he’d allow his mom
to increase his padding...but that would be that.
Suzy woke up early the next day, for the first time since her brother
had moved out, and for the first time EVER made her parents breakfast.
When mom asked Suzy what was up, Suzy told her that she wanted ‘ the x-
skelotor’ which would allow her to do all sorts of cool stuff. Dr Karen
Beecher Duncan had never been as happy with her daughter than at that
moment. Mother and daughter then spent the next year and 1/2 training
together as mom taught Suzy basic flying, fighting techniques and the
history of her fellow African American heroes( of which mom and dad
were
the first to join a superhero team).
After Suzy’s first public outing as Bumble Bee II, she and her mom were
surprised to find Suzy got a letter from G.O.O.D. Dr Karen Beecher
Duncan, as an employee of STAR, knew about G.O.O.D. and told her
daughter that this was the chance of a life time... Suzy thought it
sounded wayy cool, and packed her stuff( including her Superhero Barbie
now in a custom Bumble Bee outfit) to move into a G.O.O.D. Secret
Base....
Powers and Weapons:
Suzy’s mom Karen Beecher, an accomplished computer technician and
electrical engineer, designed and built her Bumblebee costume. Its
insect-like wings allow her to hover or fly at great speeds, and by
varying their rate of vibration she can use them as sonic disrupters
(one frequency even stuns listeners into unconsciousness). Her costume
also has a "sting" of sorts, since its antennae absorb solar energy
that
she can release as blasts of electricity through her eye lenses. The
main body of the Bumblebee costume is an insulated, form-fitting
exo-skeleton that protects her from sonic feedback and also deflects
most blade weapons and small-caliber projectiles. The costume's
ear-pieces also help protect her from falling prey to her own wing
frequencies.
Suzy’s costume also has a wrist-mounted "honey gun" that fires an
incapacitating adhesive
Personality:
Suzy is major up beat. She enjoys being a member of
G.O.O.D. and kicking E.V.I.L.’s butt. . She has sometimes groused that
she wished Birds of Prey and G.O.O.D. got more press, like the JLA, but
usually is willing to let it slide. Like her brother, she feels that as
an African American super hero she has to prove herself more then...
say
the bat folk on her team. Her team mates might also notice that while
Suzy will drool over any guy, most of the guys she actually dates are
African American.
