Countdown to THE PYRITE WAR #9: Blast Lass

BLAST LASS

Powers: The ability to cause solid objects to detonate, with an explosive force of proportionate intensity to the mass of the original object.

First Appearance: The Pyrite War

Notes from the Simon Tower Archive: Another terrible name, and she dressed like a cheerleader from Hell, but at least Blast Lass knew how to use her powers. You touch something, you blow it up. Endlessly useful. And it reminds me a little of Hotshot… or at least, he’s learned how to use his powers in a similar way. I wonder if there’s any chance he’s related to her.

In 1939 Siegel City only had one superhero, the world’s first. When he discovered his powers, Gabriel Ruston thought he would be the second, but died on his first excursion in costume.

After Gabriel’s death, his brother David is drawn into an investigation. What if Gabriel wasn’t the second? What if there were others? What if something tragic happened to all of them?

In Siegel City, nothing is ever what it seems… even in a Golden Age.

THE PYRITE WAR launches on September 10, 2013. Prepare for battle.
