The Question: All Along The Watchtower #2 - Oh Hey, It's Bulleteer!

While raiding the JLU armory for weapons, Superman villain the Eradicator bumps into a surprise guest, the Bulleteer, who found themselves in charge of the department due to her past experience with stock management...

---

Huh, honestly wasn't expecting an appearance of the Bulleteer from Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers, but it's nice to see her for the first time in what seems like years.

Her deal is that she is Alix Harrower, a teacher who specialises in working with autistic children, who had the misfortune of being married to a research scientist with a superhero kink.

This wouldn't necessarily be a problem, but his attempt at giving himself powers with a kind of smart metal that bonds to skin ends up killing him by accident while leaving her with super-strength and functional indestructibility... leading to her loosing her job as a teacher as her students were now scared of her shiny new appearance, resulting in her effectively falling into the job of becoming a superhero because she's still ultimately a nice person even though she's aware that her dead husband kind of forced her into this position against her will and she isn't happy with the baggage that comes with it.

In all honesty her subplot in Seven Soldiers was... sad. Grant Morrison was effectively using her as a lens to examine how superheroes were seen by people within the DCU as a metaphor for celebrity (with some feeling entitled to become superheroes out of a desire to be special interest of having something of worth to share), kink (Morrison getting meta with how superheroines are fetishised both in and out of universe in a manner they would return to with Mary Marvel in Final Crisis), deconstructing the idea of "with great powers comes great responsibility" maxim (Alix was already helping people in a constructive way, with her transformation effectively have a net negative on her life) and so on.

Following their appearance in Seven Soldiers, Alix has appeared in several comics, but it's nice that JLU both has her in a job she finds useful (albeit boring), where strangers usually aren't trying to punch her for reasons she doesn't understand, and where her colleagues value the work she does.
