Plot:

Set in the fictional city of Terminus, Georgia (which is named after the former name for Atlanta), Body Bags follows the contract-killing exploits of a Hispanic father & daughter team of "body baggers" (assassins) Mack Delgado (aka "Clownface"), a knife-wielding veteran of the business, and his overzealous and overly-bosomy teenage daughter, Panda. Many of their assignments come from the series' only other recurring character, Sheriff Toni Sinn. Despite the arguing that goes on between teenager Panda and father Mack, Mack is still very protective while Panda constantly fights for her father's respect and permission to set out on jobs with her father and his longtime body-bagging partner, Pops.

The Body Bags story draws similarities to the film Leon a.k.a. The Professional. For example, Panda returns to her father's side after ten years apart, while Mack is looking for a rival body bagger who set him up. Although Mack was reluctant, he allows Panda to help him take care of his rival and later becomes a full-fledged bagger herself.

Their 10-page appearance in Dark Horse Presents ties into the original 4-issue mini-series as the two come under fire from an experimental gun stolen and operated by Geech, a drug dealer whose pregnant wife and unborn child were murdered by Mack in a cowardly act back in the mini-series.

The latest Body Bags installment, entitled 3 the Hard Way, features Panda solely dealing with a corrupt police detective who is really a crime-boss while begrudgingly cleaning out Mack's distinctive hot rod, "Da Boss".

====================================

Introduction:

Panda is the overzealous teenage daughter of Mack Delgado (a.k.a. "Clownface"), a notorious bounty hunter. Through perseverance and a certain degree of stubbornness, she was able to convince her father to let her join him in the "body-bagging" business.

====================================

Origin:

She is the daughter of Mack Delgado, also known as Clownface, and an unnamed mother after her mother's death. She moved in with her father with every intention of helping him in his work as a body-bagger.

====================================

Major Story Arc:

Panda is the daughter of Clownface and a policewoman. After her mother died, Panda was taken by ambulance to the Los Angeles County Hospital, and she was hospitalized for drug abuse and then taken to the Psychiatric Consultation Ward for suicidal tendencies, where her psychological profile was also drawn up.

It was noted that she had a tender and loving view of her mother, but her therapist observed that she may have been deprived of her emotional needs and her anger issues act as a defense mechanism and her explosive impulsiveness stems from an immense need for attention. Her father's absence suggests that Panda has idealized him and she wants to be equal to or better than him.

After being discharged and prompting her therapist to ask her to leave. Panda bought a plane ticket and traveled to live with her father. She immediately made her presence known and her intentions to follow in his footsteps. Not afraid of violence or strong language, she is as likely to take down her targets with extreme prejudice as she is to bring them back alive.
