First Appearance
Secret Wars II #5 (1985)
Appearances

Primary Team
New Mutants
Debut Era
1980s
A mutant who creates explosive plasma spheres she calls "time bombs." Brash, loud, and defiantly fun in a franchise that often takes itself too seriously, Tabitha went through more codenames than almost anyone — Boom-Boom, Meltdown, Boomer — but never lost her irreverent spirit. A core member of both the New Mutants and X-Force.
