Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Blogger harshes on Storm. I don't see how Storm is a much more unattainable fantasy than Wonder Woman or Power Girl or Wolverine. We don't look like that, we don't do those things.

I still think she rocks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Storm is one of the greatest and most influential characters in the history of superhero comics. She's had more great stories featuring her as the lead than any other female hero.

For Amych: The unaired Batgirl pilot from the sixties with Yvonne Craig. I had forgotten that her skirt reverses and converts into her cape, and that her mask can be disguised as a hat.

Bonus: Batgirl song with annoying chorus of "Whose baby are you?"

Now tagless for your comfort.

Because it blew the back off of my head.

Heeee. That was pretty awesome.

It was so depressing! Also, it makes a lot more sense for Number Five and Spaceboy to be twins than Number Five and Rumor, even though I liked that idea because they're my two favorite characters.

Because I didn't go buy it yet?

I heard a rumor you did.

Love the ending of UA.

But I'm doubly glad of the resolution to the Dawn boinked a thricewise plot.

I've decided to check out Kick Ass and have six issues waiting for me.
