Quarrel II
From Herocopia
|
She wears a costume similar in design, uses much of the same weapons and employs a fighting style similar to her villainous father, the first Quarrel, however she chose a positive path for her heroic career. Her early years were spent as a member of the Omega Rangers. She is now a distinguished member of Honor Guard, and a resourceful solo-adventurer. She's spunky, determined and reliable.

Standard sized quarrels are stored on left hip. She also has a backpack used for larger and/or special quarrel mechanisms. The backpack also seems to hold a parachute, unless that was a different backpack that Steeljack references in 2:19.
Her basic set of quarrels and grappling devices were probably the extend of her father's original arsenal. Her association with the technical members of Honor Guard, especially N-Forcer, have resulted in a wider, more versatile and far more advanced set of projectile weapons and tools.
Wears a grappling device on her right hip for aerial movement, can also be fired from projectile launcher for long distances. See Astro City Comics 2:15.4 for a actual demonstration.
Speculations, Observations and Theories:
How she became Quarrel and later a member of Honor Guard has not been revealed. It is assumed that the desire to make amends for her father's mistaken lifestyle are significant influences in her decision to become a crime-fighter.
Early stages of her crime-fighting career include ties to Street Angel.
Character commentary suggests that she is from a small town in Kentucky.
Romantic Rumors
In Kurt Busiek's Astro City Vol. 1 issue #5, Nightingale refers to a romantic relationship involving Quarrel and Crackerjack. Later hints dropped in letters pages by creator Kurt Busiek, indicate that there might be more to consider than what the obvious surface aspects suggest. This prompted some interesting discussion at the official Astro City forum, Bruiser's, including fan speculation that Quarrel and Crackerjack might be related.
Quarrel seems attracted to male relationships that will disappoint at best, but mostly hurt.
