Biblegirl (real name Lia Martinez/Martin) is one of Bibleman's sidekicks and friends. She was introduced in the episode Breaking the Bonds of Disobedience, When she was hired to be Biblegirl for Bibleman's live stage show, She got the job because Cypher and her were in a dance class together years before. She is contacted by Luxor Spawndroth in order to trick her into leaving the show but ultimately she decides to stay on and accepts when Bibleman, Cypher and U.N.I.C.E ask her to be the real Biblegirl.
Family[]
Not much is known about Biblegirl’s family. The only things we know are that she has a father and a cousin. According to her story told in a deleted scene from A Fight for Faith, her father presented a Bible for her to be laid on shortly after being born. Her cousin Melody later joined the Bible Adventure Team after they changed from being in the Bible Cave to the Mobile Mission Command.
History[]
She started off being hired as a fictitious Biblegirl in a stage show Bibleman was writing and producing. When tempted by Luxor Spawndroth to be disobedient to obeying God's will, she quit and almost headed to New York for an audition on Broadway.
When she realized she should stick to her commitments (after reading Matthew 5:37), she returned to apologize and was confronted by Luxor Spawndroth. Picking up a net that started glowing with power, she fended him off until Ludicrous ran across the stage, which caused Luxor to chase after him. Shortly after, Cypher and Bibleman took her to the Bible Cave, where she agreed to become a real-live Biblegirl. The Bible Chamber donned her with her own Armor of God.
When all of the heroes proceeded to confront all of the villains, she and U.N.I.C.E. pursued L.U.C.I. and confronted her, only for L.U.C.I. to get scared and leave. When everyone was reunited, she witnessed Luxor Spawndroth's fifth death (having appeared six times but escaping after his first evil scheme was thwarted as the Shadow of Doubt). (Breaking the Bonds of Disobedience)
On their next adventure, she attempted to help a little girl named Riley Watson resist the temptation to turn her back on her family in Christ and go back to her old friends. She donned street clothes for these events, saying that it would be "a LOT less intimidating." She also tried to convince Cypher to not do the same thing Riley was doing and even spied on him doing it, reporting his actions back to Bibleman.
Once the wicked force behind this evil plot was revealed to be Luxor Spawndroth on his seventh plan, she joined the Bible Adventure Team in raiding his sewer lair. She hacked L.U.C.I. and caused her to "melt," which shut her down temporarily. She then proceeded to stand alongside Bibleman and Cypher as Luxor was defeated for the final time, joining them in quoting the Lord's Prayer. (Lead Us Not Into Temptation)
During the following weeks, Biblegirl went on vacation and mysteriously changed appearance, though Miles Peterson and Cypher couldn't see any difference. Once the new villain Primordious Drool: Intergalactic Desperado of Destruction and Despot of Evil contacted and challenged Bibleman, she assisted Cypher in applying the Full Armor Sequence to Bibleman. On his mission, she monitored perimeter activities, cross movements, and backup systems in anticipation of Bibleman possibly needing help.
After the first encounter with Primordious Drool, she helped the Bible Adventure Team analyze the science behind his plasma projectiles.
After an extensive period of time where Primordious Drool laid on heavy attacks to manipulate the city to put their faith in Bibleman instead of God, she and Cypher witnessed Bibleman being publicly humilated on the Sammy Davey Show.
Once they returned to the Bible Cave, they all went into prayer about the city's misplaced faith. Unbeknownst to her, Bibleman was sent another challenge by Primordious Drool and left to confront him alone. (He fell into the same trap he'd warned her against in the previous episode of forgetting your parter and going solo) She and Cypher later entered the Bible Cave and witnessed Bibleman's defeat via U.N.I.C.E.'s monitoring systems. (Jesus Our Savior, Part One)
Weapons and abillities[]
Like Bibleman, she wears the full armor of God. In The Bibleman Adventure (AKA Bibleman Genesis), she wielded a gun that was later modified by Bibleman to be a molecular ion fusion blaster. He quipped, "It's all fun and games until someone loses an ion." (Divided We Fall)
Later, during the events of Bibleman Powersource and the animated series, she wielded batons.
