If you really want to be a completist, HB also appeared in the Secret 
Society of Super-Villains cancelled issues in Cancelled Comics Calvacade, 
too, when the villain group put together by the Silver Ghost wanted to knock 
off the F-Fighters.  SG's group featured such one-shot wonders as 
Quakemaster (coming to my web site soon, I promise!) and the Sizematic Twins 
(don't ask ;) ).

Well, there you get into a tricky kind of thing which is why I've been kinda 
leery of listing a lot of folks.  There are lots of mainstream villains who 
project explosive blasts.  Plastique kinda falls into that category.

Really, however, only Nitro (of Marvel) and the Human Bomb (to a lesser 
degree) actually "detonated" their bodies.  Most other folks just point 
their fingers and fire bursts of "explosive energy."  Which makes them more 
Blasters than Bombers, IMO.
