HitGirl How the KickAss Sidekick Grew Into a DEADLY Assassin

While Dave Lizewski went from an inept everyday kid to a masquerading vigilante superhero in Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s Kick-Ass, it’s hard to deny the Mindy, Hit-Girl, stole the show. In the first Kick-Ass comics and the movies they inspired, she helped Dave clean up crime, only to endure some key losses along the way.

Her tribulations damaged her psyche badly but Mindy kept pushing, dedicated to the mission she and Big Daddy started out on. With that in mind, we’re taking a closer look at her journey as a deadly assassin thus far as she prepares for a new vigilante war in Kick-Ass vs. Hit-Girl #1.

Big Daddy turned Mindy into a killer by selling comics and earning money to bolster their arsenal. He got bored with his career and wife, so he began training Hit-Girl to conduct bloody massacres that would put them on the radars of cops and criminals alike. They’d bring their guns, bombs, knives and swords to New York where they’d partner with Dave Lizewski to go up against the Genovese family. However, this was a brutal battle that saw Big Daddy die, leaving Dave worried over how dangerous this game was.

Yet in the wake of all this, Hit-Girl kept evolving, as criminals such as Red Mist were still out there. She trained Dave after her adoptive cop dad, Marcus, started raising her with her birth mom. Still, no matter how much Marcus begged, Mindy wouldn’t leave the life behind. She’d destroy the Italian and Russian mobs while finishing off the Genovese family. Ironically, Red Mist would redeem himself, dying to save Mindy in the final stages of that turf war, but she still didn’t see the need to stop. Dave would retire after his dad became collateral damage, and go on to become a police officer himself, but this couldn’t stop Mindy from soldiering on.

She didn’t even care that she couldn’t train another Kick-Ass successor. To her, the symbol of justice was more important so failures like this didn’t matter. As long as she remained alive and kicking, she had to honor Big Daddy. Sadly, it was starting to affect her mentally, she was haunted by his presence, which only made her more violent. Her aggression went into overdrive after the Kick-Ass books and in her solo series, she began using deadlier weapons such as ray guns and implanted bombs in a way that would make Suicide Squad’s Amanda Waller proud.

Mindy’s journeys took her to Colombia, where she rigged Mano up with explosives, forcing him to help her bring down El Padre’s cartel. At this point, she even used his little brother, Jorge, as a hostage. Unlike traditional heroes, Mindy didn’t care about using kids or adults, so long as the job got done. After taking out the cartels there, she’d then jet over to Canada to take out another gang, as well as Italy to slaughter Giustina’s crew of dealers. Her global quest continued to Hollywood where she went after toxic males, pedophiles and LA’s nastiest, most corrupt people. She even honed her craft in Hong Kong as well in the Hit-Girl comics, eliminating a triad that her dad always wanted to put down.

Under the pen of creators like Kevin Smith, Peter Milligan, Daniel Way, Goran Parlov, Rafael Albuquerque and many others, Hit-Girl became more of a strategist, kidnapping and resorting to illicit tactics to inflict fear on the international stage. In that sense, Hit-Girl is arguably now more of a terrorist than an anti-hero, but she has no problem with that since she’s only killed criminals on her Punisher-like crusade.

But now, Hit-Girl seems to have met her match after Patience Lee took on the Kick-Ass costume in Albuquerque, forming her own army with former cartel members backing her in a drug war. To Hit-Girl, Patience is indeed part of the mafia, so Mindy will stop at nothing to kill the former Afghan soldier out of respect for the mask Dave left behind.
