Though she has no super powers, Action Girl is nonetheless an effective crime fighter. She’s best known for her impressive gymnastics skills, and does a lot of jumping, tumbling, etc. in combat. She’s also a decent hand-to-hand fighter. But Erica’s greatest asset is her ability to think quickly and creatively under pressure ; she often finds clever ways to incapacitate a more powerful foe (as when she escaped a pounding from “The Specialist” by handcuffing her to a ladder).

History

Little is known about Erica, or the circumstances that caused her to become Action Girl. Her exploits have made her something of a celebrity in her home town, and inspired other young women to follow her example. Though many of the crimes Action Girl takes on are small- scale (vandalism, etc.), she has also fought genuine super villains like The Terror Jocks and The Go-Girl Gang.

Description

Erica is a pretty teenage girl with short blonde hair and multiple piercings in both ears. Her official Action Girl uniform consists of a brick red jacket with a button-down flap (ala Captain Marvel) and an “AG” logo on the chest, a knee-length forest green skirt, matching headband, and lace-up leather boots. She often wears tights of various colors under the skirt, and occasionally sports a pair of goggles.

Personality

Action Girl is a very upbeat and outgoing person, always trying to keep a positive outlook in all situations. She’s very conscious of her position as a role model and mentor to other girls, and will offer advice on everything from self-defense to fashion at the drop of a hat. Erica takes her crime fighting seriously, but she does have a wry sense of humor that sometimes slips out during a fight.

DC Universe History

Action Girl lives in an unnamed coastal town… probably on the West Coast, judging by the beaches and hot weather. So slip her into Titans West… she’d be at least as useful as Flamebird, and run rings around Golden Eagle ! ;-)
