BiographyEdit
Comics Greatest WorldEdit
Barbara Kopetski was born in Steel Harbor to an unnamed mother and father, who raised her with the help of her grandmother alongside her brother Charlie. Her father was a former marine (who fought in Korea) and steel worker while her mother was a police officer. Eventually, her father was bed-ridden and suffering from Alzheimer's disease while her mother died from unknown causes.
When Barbara was a little girl, Steel Harbor was thriving but as she grew older the town suffered in the hands of various criminal factions. For a time, she left the dying city when she was in her late teens/early 20's, but she eventually returned to Steel Harbor. There, she opened the Hammerhead Bar and Grille and became a bounty hunter, though it is unclear which happened first.
