History is only made by the masses of the people (Part 8)...

Black Super Hero History Month

Bumblebee



DC Comics' Bumblebee first appeared in Teen Titans #45 in December 1976.  Karen Beecher, in addition to being a scientist, was the girlfriend of Titans' member Mal Duncan.  She joined the Titans, and when the team disbanded, she and Mal married and retired from superhero-ing.  She then took a job at S.T.A.R. labs working on non-lethal weaponry.  She, and Mal, have come out of retirement periodically.

She wears a superpowered bio-suit, that allows her to fly and fire 'stings'.  She was DC Comics first ever black, female superhero.
