Scrap (real name Bridget Flynn) is a fictional comic book superhero, a member of the superhero team Dynamo 5, which appears in the monthly series of the same name from Image Comics. Created by writer Jay Faerber and artist Mahmud A. Asrar, Scrap first appeared in "Dynamo" 5 #1 (January 2007).

Character profile

Following the assassination of Captain Dynamo, the much-beloved superhero protector of Tower City, his widow, former government agent posing as a now-retired investigative reporter Maddie Warner, discovered from his personal effects that he had been unfaithful to her countless times. Despite her devastation at this discovery, Warner realized that without a full-time protector, Tower City would be vulnerable to Captain Dynamo’s legion of super-villain enemies. She used her skills and the information she discovered to track down five people who could be Dynamo’s illegitimate children.

Bridget Flynn, an NYU Film School graduate"Dynamo 5" #1.] from Cleveland"Dynamo 5" #3; Page 8.] working at a Hollywood, California movie theater, was the fourth of the five children contacted by Warner. Gathering all five of the children together, Warner exposed them to the same unidentified radiation that gave Captain Dynamo his powers forty years earlier, unlocking their powers. Bridget inherited her father’s super strength. She took the codename Scrap, and works to protect Tower City with her newly discovered brothers and sisters.

Bridget was raised by her biological mother and her mother's husband, Bridget's adoptive father. Shortly after gaining her powers, Bridget's father paid her an unexpected visit a few days before Father's Day. Suspicious of his reasons for the visit, he reluctantly told her that he and her mother had separated because they were no longer in love, which caused much pain for Bridget. ["Dynamo 5" #4; Pages 7-8 & 17-18.]

Maddie Warner, having been impressed with Bridget's school transcripts and speculative film scripts, has offered to put Bridget in touch with one of the entertainment reporters from the newspaper where she once worked, in order to jumpstart her career, but Bridget, who admits that she isn't good at "schmoozing", has declined Warner's offer, explaining that she doesn't want special treatment. Warner insisted that remaining at her unfulfilling theater job and avoid risking failure would not help her reach her goals, but Bridget has yet given an amended response to Warner's offer. ["Dynamo 5" #2; Pages 13-14.]

Powers

Scrap has superhuman strength. The upper limit of this strength is unknown, but she has been observed lifting a tank over her head, and throwing it the length of a city block. The exact physiological nature and limit of this strength is unknown, though she has also displayed a considerable level of invulnerability as well, as she has also been seen destroying large powered armor suits by kicking them, without sustaining any injury. ["Dynamo 5" #1; Pages 4 & 5.] On another occasion, Scrap was able to easily survive being pushed off a skyscraper by her half-sister Synergy (who also possesses their father's superhuman strength), smashed through the street below to a set of underground subway tracks, and further kicks to the abdomen by Synergy, without more than a moment's incapacitation. ["Dynamo 5" #7; Pages 16-19.] On the other hand, a direct punch from the supervillain Brawn was able to knock her into unconsciousness or semi-consciousness for several moments. ["Dynamo 5" #9; Pages 15 & 18.]

Scrap has shown a reluctance to kill or cause life-threatening injury in battle. ["Dynamo 5" #1; Pages 5 & 6.]

After the her first encounter with Bonechill she practiced holding her breath, and can currently hold it for twenty minutes. ["Dynamo 5" #12 Page 5]
