{{quote|"Well shit is different here Barbie. I run the show in New Port City. I run it my way. The villain, got it!? Murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers don't wait for some asshole superhero or dial up ''[[Invincible]]'' when shit gets fucked up. Heroes aren't welcome in this town. People here want some one who represents them. That's me... The Queen!"|'''Bomb Queen'''}}
The Queen is a villainess who has eliminated and subsequently banned all superheroes from the fictional city of New Port City. She rules the city as a benevolent dictator; the limitations she has placed over the city's criminals have made her a [[Villain with Good Publicity|popular leader]].
Famous for being [[Worse Than It Sounds]], yet still [[Lowest Common Denominator|apparently being popular enough to have six miniseries]].
'''Volumes:'''
Line 25:
* ''Bomb Queen Presents: All-Girl Special''
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Anything That Moves]]: Bomb Queen enjoys "all genders, ages, and preferences both legal and illegal."
* [[Author Filibuster]]/[[Author Tract|Tract]]: Bomb Queen usually gives a spectacularly [[Anvilicious]] one of these, either before [[Karma Houdini|getting away scot-free]] or to flabbergast some [[Straw Loser]] with her [[Blatant Lies|sage wisdom]] (usually ending in [[Straw Man Has a Point]]). Her latest{{when}} one was about how [[What Do You Mean It's Not Didactic?|she's no worse than people who protested against]] [[George W. Bush]], and how [[Blatant Lies|her city stands for justice]].
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Bomb Queen is an aversion, believe it or not, as she's shown to have much bigger plans in the works besides destruction and hedonism, though she doesn't do much to dispel the notion she is batshit insane.
* [[Exact Words]]: She's asked not to harm a hostage by someone who wants them free after doing something for Bomb Queen. She keeps her word that ''she'' won't do anything...
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Bomb Queen has to deal with a few of her former villain buddies who decided to backstab her in the second issue. Admittedly, she did it first, but they are such [[Jerkass]]es it's really hard to feel sympathy when Bomb Queen retaliates.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Prior to Bomb Queen, Jimmie Robinson made some comic books, mostly in genres that don't sell well these days. Some feel it was the poor sales of these titles that led him to [[Creator Breakdown|go in the opposite direction]], and copy writers like [[Garth Ennis]] and [[Mark Millar]], dialing the [[Gorn]] [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 36 ⟶ 37:
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: In promotional material for the sixth ''Bomb Queen'' miniseries, a background character notes how unoriginal [[Image Comics]] are in putting out a comic book with [[Barack Obama]] on the cover.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: In one issue, it's heavily implied that Bomb Queen is having children made into food for her hungry townspeople.
* [[Karma Houdini]]:
* [[Mad Bomber]]: Bomb Queen, but she often combines explosives with other plans.
* [[More Dakka]]
* [[Plot Induced Stupidity]]: Usually given to any character [[Crossover|from the Image Universe]] who stands up to Bomb Queen.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]/[[Refuge in Vulgarity|Vulgarity]]: Both the main character and the series itself is very much guilty of this.
* [[Right-Hand-Cat]]: Ashe, [[The Starscream|though he turns out to be a hate demon.]]
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Bomb Queen VI #2 took '''''fourteen months''''' to come out.
* [[Sinister Shades]]:
* [[Stripperific]]
* [[Villain Protagonist]]: Bomb Queen herself, a fact she revels in.
