Real Name:
Millie Barr

Millie is a rubbery super who’s ego is anything but inflated.

Millie Barr was an outgoing surfer girl who dreamed of becoming a rescue blimp pilot. In order to pay for her continuing piloting lessons she took a job as an assistant safety inspector at the Wellyear Tire Company.

On one of her shifts, she paused on a catwalk suspended over one of the factorys vulcanizing solution vats, to daydream about her promising future as a pilot. The catwalk gave way and she felt into the vat below along with various drums of other chemicals and a live power line. After the factory closed for the post-accident clean up, she pulled herself out of the vat and huddled in a supervisors office, where she was found the next morning.

Millie’s body was radically changed by the accident. She was now essential a hollow rubber shell with incredible elastic strength. She discovered that her body was held up only by her internal air pressure. Basically she was a balloon. Local press dubbed her “The Inflatabelle”, much to her chagrin.

Her parents sued Wellyear and won a hefty settlement for their daughter, who had now fallen into a deep depression.
Between missing her chance to become a blimp pilot, the ironic insult to injury that she was now a living blimp, and her perceived failure in her parents eyes, she ran away to spare them from having a failure for a daughter.

She lived on the streets of Cayuga City for some time where she discovered alcohol calmed her nerves enough to keep her abilities in check. Her alcohol consumption increased as the years progressed, as did her need more ever increasingly powerful drinks.

It was on the street that she came to the aide of a man being mugged. The victim was not grateful and resented Millie’s presence. This was mainly due to the fact there were a number of “superpowered” people in Cayuga City that frequently brought up the insurance rates with their dangerous exploits.

Millie attempted to become a villain but failed at that venture as well. She attempted to rob the Wellyear Tire Company by deflating and sliding under the factory back door. She attempt to slide money under the door failed due to the wind simply blowing the money away into the night.

She spent the next 6 years drinking herself into a blind stupor in a sisyphean attempt to suppress her memories of how much of a failure and a disappointment she had become.

Abilities:
•Rubbery body that can stretch and inflate to immense sizes.
•Puncture/bullet proof (unless over-inflated), however still feels the pain of said impacts.
•Super strong breath.
•Can hold her breath for impossibly long periods of time.
•Immune to most poisons and all poisonous gases (i.e. cyanide or nerve gas).
•Impervious to telepathic attack due to not really having a brain anymore.
•Can drink anyone under the table.

Weaknesses:
•Vulnerable to puncture and/or explosion when inflated to twice the size of a Thanksgiving Day parade balloon.
•Can be killed if she's pressurized to her maximum capacity and exploded into a shower of bits.
•Can be pierced by diamond/obsiddian tipped projectiles.
•Carbonated beverages and gassy foods make he9r swell up out of control.
•When filled with water she has great difficulty moving and can be immobilized. She doesn't have any super strength to move such bulk.
•Low self esteem, lots of self loathing and constantly drunk.
•Can not stretch herself like your typical stretchy super hero. If she wants to stretch a limb, someone has to stretch it for her.

Random Facts About her:
•She can't drive.
•Her favorite color was yellow.
•Her default booze is Quack Spaniels Black Label, but she really hates the taste of alcohol.
•A fan of dubstep and surf rock before the accident.
•Hates loud noises like bangs or pops.
•Has a beautiful singing voice but hates to sing. Remembers every lyric to every song she's ever heard.
•Has attempted suicide. She's jumped off a building, but bounced back up on top of it, crashing into a garbage can. Tried blowing herself up to the point of explosion, but ran out of quarters for the air pump at the gas station. People passing by thought she was a promotional balloon.
•She can’t really feel subtle changes in temperature. She can only feel extreme highs and lows of temperature. This kind of comes in handy since her suit doesn’t offer much thermal protection and floating the stratosphere can get a little chilly.
•Hypothetical voice actors: Nacy Travis or Andrea Martin.
