The Story:
Bulleteer #1
Ballistic: How The Bulleteer Began
Writing - Grant Morrison
Art - Yanick Paquette, Michael Bair
Lance Harrower attempts to perfect a metal coating called Smartskin to turn himself and his wife Alix into superheroes. The Smartskin bonds to the skin and renders the flesh indestructible. The Smartskin has effectively been used on a mouse, but has not been stable enough to cover a person. Meanwhile, Lance plays to Alix's vanity saying that the Smartskin will help them obtain immortality and preserve her looks. Alix brushes off her husband's thoughtless comments and leaves, only to return later, finding Lance covered in Smartskin and complaining of difficulty breathing. As Alix phones 911, Lance touches her hand. The Smartskin makes contact with Alix's body and spreads over every inch of her. Lance dies as a result, but Alix survives her transformation. While going through Lance's belongings, she reads his e-mails from a girl he received through a superhero fetish website. The horrible things he wrote in his e-mails hurts Alix so bad that she runs through a wall into the night in blind fury of emotion. She comes across a train wreck and saves a few citizens, jump-starting her superhero career after losing her career working with autistic children. |

Obsessed with the idea of becoming a famous super-hero and preserving his beautiful wife's youth, Professor Lance Harrower invents Smartskin — a steel-hard living fiber which bonds with skin collagen. When his experiments go awry, Harrower is suffocated under a coating of steel skin. His wife Alix survives the horrific accident only to find herself an outcast and a freak. Now jobless, alone, and encased in super-hard, living metal, she is a truly reluctant super-human called the Bulleteer. |

 Noteworthy Items:
Lance and Alix's last name is Horrower, as in Sheeda Horrowing? Alix is the feminine shortening of Alexander in Greek language means to “defending men.”
The clock reads 4:45 am. Add those three numbers and you get unlucky 13.
Speculation dictates that the Smartskin will some how be tied into the Sheeda and the Cauldron of the Rebirth. |
