Peter Blake, 2001
Bobbie Rainbow is the daughter of Babe Rainbow, a fictitious lady wrestler, who
in turn was the daughter of the infamous Doktor K. Tortur.
Bobbie's father is unknown, but she was born during 1976, when Babe
was living and wrestling in New York (for a brief period in 1973 she was the world
champion), and her most likely father is Ebony Superman, who was also world
champion at that time.
Bobbie is wearing the championship belts, and famous leather hat passed
on to her by Babe, when she retired from the ring in 1989. She is currently
wrestling in the U.S.A and around the world.
Bobbie bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother.
