History[]
Sheeva is a character in the 2000 AD strip Bad Company. She was a 'Boom Baby', the result of an experiment in genetics intended to create humans of higher than normal intelligence. Instead, the experiment gave its subjects the ability to create explosions. Sheeva, aged about twenty, was "probably the last one left alive." She was apparently born on Earth, and belonged to the New Christian Hindus.
An enigmatic and often antisocial individual, when recruited to Bad Company on the planet Broken Heart Sheeva formed a strong emotional bond with Danny Franks. She ultimately sacrificed her life to give him time to reach the Krool Heart before their duplicitous former comrade Protoid. She entered the Krool Heart's consciousness to confuse it enough for them to escape from one of its traps, but the encounter left her transformed into a pseudo-Krool who tried to kill Danny. As Danny pleaded for his life Sheeva regained enough control to turn her destructive power inwards, causing herself to detonate instead.
