I'm still amused over this quote from Grant Morrison's recent 52-exit interview at Newsarama:

I'd also like to point out here that my character the Bulleteer CANNOT FLY! Repeat BULLETEER CANNOT FLY!

I checked this morning and she was definitely in the air in WWIII Issue 4, and I believe I've seen the character aloft elsewhere.

What are the best and/or funniest reasons why the Bulleteer now appears to be a flying character?

Here's what I've come up with so far:


Pixie Dust!
A little bit of Nth Metal got mixed in with the goop that gave her powers
She clocked some poor time-lost Legionaire and stole their flight ring. You'll find Matter-Eater Lad bound and gagged if you open up her closet door.
Colossus is performing the ol' "fastball special" but he always has to be off-panel because Levitz hates Quesada
Firestorm transmuted her ample bosum into helium
She's taken the lyrics of that old R. Kelly song to heart. She can also 'touch the sky' if necessary
The Bulleteer in those scenes is actually Martian Manhunter. Says J'onn "when I'm in the form of the Bulleteer, I feel positively foxy - like the seventh Pussycat Doll. Plus I get a lot of attention from both Nightwing and Batwoman. Nice!"
A great big magnet!
That's not flying - it's falling with style!
Bendis ghost-wrote those scenes
That's the Bulleteer of Earth 26. Duh!
Red Bull gave her wings
She failed to read her own entry in Wikipedia. Doesn't anyone do research anymore? :mad:
Don't worry, we'll fix it in the Hardcover.


What are your suggestions?

The best one gets you the DC equivalent of the "No-Prize", i.e. you become the new writer of "Hawkgirl".

Someone shot her out of a cannon.

Her breasts' gravitational forces are pulling her into orbit around the sun. She uses magnets on the ground to bring herself back down.

Because Didio commands that it be so.

She was on a time with Firestorm, who transmutes elements.

Her skin is metal.

Maybe he transformed her elemental properties for a short time?

She has a telekinetic sidekick.

Miss Martian was investigating the new JLA.

An Amazo was infiltrating the hero community.

Superboy-Prime: PUNCH! (No. Not a retcon. He was just lurking around off-panel, punching her airborn.)

It's not like any time a new writer uses a Morrison creation/innovation things don't change drastically anyway--why should this time be any different?

Ambush Bug teleport drops her.

The helmet's... magic... or some shit like that.

She knows she's a comic book character and tells the laws of comic physics to fuck off.

Metal Mickey can fly, and she keeps him in her cleavage at all times.

On that note, how fucking awesome would it be for her to have a mouse sidekick? What an unlikely superpet. With her strength and his indestructability, she could toss him like a fuckin' rock and knock the shit out of villains. That'd be the greatest scene ever.

Dr. Psycho: What're you in for this time, Lex?

Lex Luthor: Well, I tried to create a golem out of kryptonite but Superman knocked it out with a lead pipe from a mile away then hauled me in. What about you?

Dr. Psycho: I, uh... I was fuckin' around with Bulleteer and she knocked me unconcious with a steel mouse.

Pffft ah hahahahaha!
