## Trivia

* Bumblebee's suit is strikingly similar to the *Mega Man* franchise.

* Bumblebee's eye design is very similar to Fluttershy's from *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*, one of Faust's most notable works.
* Her main enemy is Giganta, although she can choose an enemy too.
* She loves romance as seen in "The Bird and the Bee".
	+ However, she hates the Diana and Steve's relationship. This is mostly likely because Diana is always distracted by Steve's presence whenever he is around and loses concentration on other things.

* She loves tacos, but she doesn't like burritos. Ironically, both are Mexican food dishes.
* In most of the episodes she appears in she is offering her help to some of the girls, mainly to Zatanna and Supergirl.
* The role that she has in the team of heroines is to be the voice of reason. This has been shown on more than one occasion by motivating her friends; like when she taught Supergirl how to be a hero, Wonder Woman that it's okay not to be perfect, and when she gave her teammates the motivation to come together again with a speech.
