A former member of the New Mutants and X-Force, Boom-Boom is a mutant with the ability to create energy bombs of various sizes and intensity which explode upon impact.
Depends on what kind of story you want. I love the old cheesy 80's stories, so I'd recommend Fallen Angels & X-Terminators. NextWave is also good, although questionable in characterisation.
Also, the original X-Factor. The one from the 80's where the original 5 X-Men posed as humans hunting mutants in order to save young mutants in trouble. Classic Boom-Boom chasing Iceman, and detonating everything in sight... :)
Anybody know of any recent story-arcs with her that are good... Besides Nextwave, that is? I already own the ultimate collection for that series, but I'd like to see one where she's portrayed differently than in that title.
If you haven't checked out the later issues of X-Force, I'd give those a try. Around the time she became Meltdown, we saw a more serious side to her personality and we got some new insight into her past. She was still wild and fun to read about, but she was more caring and less self absorbed, there are some photos from that time on this page where she's trying help a child postitute and some others. I think thats a better representation of her character than what we saw in NEXTWAVE, but we all have our preference.
Also, some of those stories back in New Mutants where she was friends with Wolfsbane were pretty good, if you like late 80's/early 90's drama...
