Who is Bulletgirl?

Susan Kent, girlfriend of police detective Jim Barr (Bulletman), gained flight and mental-repulsion powers by wearing her own gravity-defying Bullethood helmet. She joined Jim as Bulletgirl, fighting crime alongside him as one of comics' earliest superhero duos.

Few characters can claim to have soared through the Golden Age and still been making waves nearly eight decades later, but Bulletgirl is one of them. Debuting in Master Comics #13 in 1941 — brought to life by Al Carreño for Fawcett Comics — she arrived at the height of the superhero boom and carved out a lasting place in the publisher's celebrated lineup. Her adventures unfold alongside some of Fawcett's brightest stars: Susan Kent, Bulletman, Jim Barr, and even Captain Marvel and Billy Batson share her pages, placing her squarely at the heart of a golden era of four-color heroism. With two key-issue appearances to her name, a presence across Master Comics, Bulletman, and the modern Convergence: Shazam series, and a publishing history stretching all the way to 2020, Bulletgirl is a genuine piece of comics history — a Golden Age heroine well worth seeking out.
