History: Barbara Kopetski comes from a tough family; her father was a marine and her mother a cop. And she comes from a tough city; she grew up on the mean streets of Steel Harbor. As a young girl she had a taste for excitement, loving motorcycles and fast cars, and demonstrating a natural apptitude with guns of all types. In fact Barb demonstrated a natural talent for just about everything she tried to do; driving, shooting, fighting, whatever.

As an adult she has two lines of employment. She owns the Hammerhead Bar in one of the rougher areas of town, and she works as a bounty hunter for the local bail bondsmen, hunting down anyone stupid enough to try and go on the run in her home town. She is allied with Motorhead.

Comments: Barb Wire has the dubious distinction of being the only one of Comic's Greatest World's characters to make it to the big screen, where she was played by Pamela Anderson.
