Since there are no Friday Night Fights this week (sob), I thought I'd give some attention to some quasi-fights.
And what better quasi-fights than to watch Bulletgirl get knocked out ridiculously easily?
Let's remember, Jim Barr and Susan Kent took a chemical formula to give the super strength and super intelligence...and that's before they even put on the Gravity Regulator Helmets, which let them fly and deflect bullets. So, pretty tough heroes, right?
Well, when investigating a "nightclub of crime," the super intelligence doesn't prevent Bulletgirl from being surprised by half a dozen goombas dressed like a Fawcett Comics version of Eyes Wide Shut:
And as for the super strength and super-deflecting helmet?
I guess bullets don't hit as hard as rolling pins...
Still, Susan manages to escape...
And give 'em back a little of their own...
But...
Oh, dear, captured again.
Don't worry...Bulletman rescues her later.
Still, getting beat by a rolling pin and a seltzer bottle--in one afternoon!--doesn't say much for your alleged super-powers.
In another story in that issue:
Oooh, lead pipe to the face!! OK, we'll give you a pass on that one, Susan. Ouch...
Don't worry, gang: Bulletman saves her (again)!
From Bulletman #16 (1946)

One day your Bulletman will come, Sally.
