He is totally a 80/90 action movie Frankenstein.
And that’s what all the millenials misunderstand about the 90ies FPS, it was just more than big guns and action. It was some kind of a new subculture. And nobody back then gave a fuck about political correct.
Bombshell as how she is portrayed now, would be totally forgotten today. You had lived it in the 90ies, or you never fully understand it.
I lived in the 90s and still think that the early designs of her are super lame, the nice ideas only start appearing in the 99-2001 version. "Let's copy Barb Wire!" is not character design, that's just laziness and even if you compare that to Duke it's clear to see that Duke is actually the sum of all the classic action movie heroes while proto-Bombshell is literally Barb Wire and nothing else.
Edit: And really even the idea of using Barb Wire as inspiration is pretty embarassing. It's an absolutely terrible movie and Pamela Anderson is not a badass action heroine in BW, she's just "hey, sugartits is acting all weird and ackward with those fake guns, let's laugh at it!"
