Tallulah Black is a fictional character, a western comic book antihero that appears in comic books published by DC Comics as a supporting character of Jonah Hex. The character was created by writers Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and artist Phil Noto. Tallulah Black is a tragic figure and bounty hunter whose face and body were horribly scarred with cuts and left eye taken out. Despite her history and background, Tallulah is kind and a decent person who truly cares for people besides herself. The character was portrayed by Megan Fox in the 2010 film Jonah Hex.
Tallulah Black first appeared in Jonah Hex, Vol 2 #16 in April 2007 created by writers Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and artist Phil Noto.
When men from the U.S. government (or claiming to be) came to her family's house, they told them to get out as they were going to steal the Black family's land for themselves. But Tallulah's family stood their ground and told them that they didn't want to go.
Not willing to take no for an answer, the men turned violent and killed the rest of Tallulah's family, raped her and shot her in the left eye, leaving her for dead. In spite of all that, miraculously she survived her wounds.
A year later, while she was working as a prostitute in Little City, the leader of those men recognized her in the brothel she was working at. Surprised that she lived and escaped him the first time, he slashed up much of her body.
Tallulah survived again, but her face and body were left heavily scarred. Seeking revenge, she goes out to find Jonah Hex knowing of his reputation as a bounty hunter asking for help and telling him her story. After some initial reluctance at first, Hex teaches her about marksmanship and how to use a pistol for herself; with her newfound knowledge and skills, Tallulah goes out with Hex and avenges herself on the men who slaughtered her family and disfigured her, shooting them all to death.
