Comics character / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Transformers character, see Bumblebee (Transformers).
Bumblebee (Karen Beecher-Duncan) is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics and other related media, commonly as a member of the Teen Titans.[1] She first appeared as Karen in December 1976's Teen Titans #45, and adopted the Bumblebee identity three issues later. Historically, Bumblebee is sometimes considered DC Comics' first Black woman superhero character, though this distinction is also accorded to Nubia,[2] a less traditional costumed crimefighter than Bumblebee, who debuted three years earlier in 1973.
