Fusion #4 Page 6

Here's page 6 of Fusion #4, and zolem called it. (Although, since her powers come from Bob, he could take credit for the save as well.) As you can see, her powers have a little more versatility than simply allowing her to fly, make flashes of light, and generate energy beams and shields. And you can also see that she isn't always sweet; it's best to stay on her good side, that's for sure.

Regarding Fusion “absorbing” the bullet . . . She actually incinerated it; her dialogue is misleading (chalk it up to her being caught up in the moment). Generally, she fuses the hydrogen (like the sun) and other gases in the atmosphere, which are all less dense than iron and gives off energy when fused. If she fuses something denser than iron (such as most bullets), she absorbs energy.

Also, Fusion mentions another alliterative hero, the Crimson Cowboy. I thought about dropping the bit about Crimson Cowboy for being too corny, but I just loved the corniness of the “You done pissed me off good” line too much, so it stayed.
