nope ... wrong one. This chicks powers are nothing like Marvel Girl. You know the old Squadron Line-up... Hyperion, based on Superman Nighthawk, based on Batman The Whizzer, based on The Flash Doctor Spectrum, based on Green Lantern Power Princess, based on Wonder Woman Amphibian, based on Aquaman Golden Archer, based on Green Arrow Lady Lark, based on Black Canary Tom Thumb, loosely based on The Atom Blue Eagle, based on Hawkman Arcanna, based on Zatanna Nuke, based on Firestorm I have no idea who in the Justice League would be similar to her.  |

I'm not sure either, Perry. Wikipedia suggests she's based on Halo, but I don't think that quite works. Halo had light-based powers, while Inertia shifts momentum around.
I can't recall anyone in the JLA who can do that, unless you count the Speed Force types. And since Inertia was created before the Speed Force, that doesn't seem likely.
Not sure who Gru was thinking of offhand, honestly. Inertia is an old character from Gru's Squadron series, but I'm blanking on any direct analogue.

I'm thinking if anyone will know it's Hector. His knowledge of comics is mind boggling.

My take? She's based on no one in particular. There is no equivalent in the JLA or JSA. Sure, maybe the powers can be matched to some oscure Legion of Superheroes member or stretch common sense to put her as part of an original X-Men analogue or whatever reason someone had to think she could be an analogue of Halo. There was no need to try to fit a square into a round hole with Hyperion, or Dr. Spectrum or even Arcanna or Nuke. The homages/rip offs in SS were pretty clear, so if one doesn't appear to be, it probably isn't. Maybe she is a Vibe homage. I mean, makes more sense than the other characters being thrown around.  |

I agree with Heck. Inertia looks like a new one to me.
By the way, nice avatar Hector. Kind of hypnotic.
