Duck Dodgers!

[yendi]

I finally got to see the GL episode of Duck Dodgers last night. Twice. I damn near had a Lanterngasm. :-) They had everyone! I mean everyone. Kilowog (voiced by John DiMaggio), Katma Tui (voiced by Tara Strong), Sinestro (voiced by John de Lancie) and Hal Jordan (voiced by Kevin Smith) were all there, of course, but they had Tomar-Re and Boodikka in nice segments, and had background appearances by everyone from Guy Gardner to Ch'P, from that plant-haired guy Alan Moore wrote about to G'Nort. It was just amazing. Other than Kyle and Rond Vidar, I don't think a single Lantern was left out (there was even a cartoonish John Stewart). Just amazing.

I don't even remember a Boodikka.

She appeared mostly during the final days of the corps (I think she was created after 1990), mostly in the main GL book and the quarterly. She got her hand chopped off fighting Hal, and is still presumed dead (since she was left drifting in space).

Ah, well, I was already gone from super-hero books before Hal turned evil.

Boudicca was a queen of the ancient Britons who fought against the Romans (and in the alternate spelling, "Boadicea," it's the Vicar of Dibley's first name). Did Boodikka's life allude to that in any way?

She was a warrior woman, and like the queen she's named after, she died after most of her army (the Bellatrix Bombers, I kid you not) were killed. No suicide, though.
