Alexa Bliss has never shied away from flaunting her love for comic book characters. In 2016, Bliss showcased her fondness for a certain DC villainess at WWE Backlash.

Sporting a two-toned outfit, pigtails and pink highlights, it wasn't hard to guess where Alexa was deriving her inspiration from. The look was a clear nod to DC's Harley Quinn. Bliss even tweeted it out, calling it a "homage to #harleyquinn"

While she didn't win the title that night, she certainly won over the fans with her show stopper look. This also proved to be a turning point in her career as she went on to embrace her dark side and become a heel. Her character remained reminiscent of Harley Quinn herself.

This isn't the first time Alexa Bliss has captured fans with her pop culture nods. While at NXT, Alexa made up a heel stable with Blake and Murphy with all of them sporting Iron Man inspired gear. They also gave Freddy Krueger a turn and doled out perfectly creepy appearances.

Bliss had this to say of her constant experimentations with her looks “I'm such a villain fan. I love comics, I love anything Disney – everyone knows that about me, I'm a big Disney fan – anything that's fictional, I'm a huge fan of. I just like portraying characters but making it my own. The Harley Quinn thing I was really excited about.”

She has gone on to dazzle audiences with other villain and hero inspired costumes. At the Elimination Chamber, she went with a Supergirl-inspired gear, with red and blue boots and her own emblem on the chest. At Wrestlemania, her green and purple outfit had question marks and a vest that said “Riddle Me Bliss”. It was a direct take on DC's Riddler.

Hopefully, we will continue to see Little Miss Bliss in other comic book adaptations in the future.
