History[]

Bright and enthusiastic, Hummingbird did her research before joining the group. Making a name for herself during the Torori invasion and making fast friends with the modern incarnation. She was later seen with the Guard defeating the Khyborgs and again later to help Quarrel rescue Crackerjack.

However, Amanda was a baby born into the Honor Guard family. Growing up in Ohio, Amanda made frequent trips to the Honor Guard Headquarters where she spent a lot of time with her aunts, Quarrel, Mermaid, Beautie and Cleopatra. She trained with the Honor Guard after her powers appeared in her early teens. After a meeting with the original Cleopatra, Amanda's mother asked her if she really wanted to become a super hero. She did and with that she fought her first villain, the Strawman. But her powers still continued to grow. Her mother took her to Starwoman where she would train in space, increasing her speed and skill further. Going through life as a teenager and a teen hero was tough but with her mother's support and the guidance of her aunts she was able to handle it. That was until she started to notice physical changes to her growing powers. Taken to Tabitha Grey, Amanda learned that her powers were continuously growing and changing her into a bird. Taking Assemblyman's portal to Peru, where she was conceived. Together with the women allies of the Honor Guard, Hummingbird took on the evil god corrupting her gifts and after defeating him and reuniting her mother with her lost father, Hummingbird accepted her gifts for what they were and refused to back down from the challenge of a lifetime.
