A broadsword’s good for that… but it’s especially appropriate for Ms. Amazement.

WWs roots are Greek, not Celtic. If there’s a back story for Miss A, I’ve missed/forgotten it.

It’s always funny to look at what each decade considers offensive and allowable.
Back in the day, “Jim Bowie,” “Zorro,” and “Branded” had knife and/or sword fights every week, but two guys holding hands would have gotten them canceled in a heartbeat.

Celts often displayed the heads of their enemies. It’s one of their traditions that Romans found barbaric for some reason. Romans were sexist prudes.
