Spike ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Would Supes choose to be here if Krypton was whole? Would he be saving people there?
Sort of impossible to say. If Krypton never exploded, Supes wouldn't have been sent to Earth at all, probably wouldn't know it even existed, and wouldn't have been raised to be a hero by the Kents.
She never learnt to control her powers at all, despite it being her reason for hanging at the mansion.
Let me think of aliens -- they are typically the last of their race, right (Martian Manhunter, et al)? Or very stranded (Warlock)? I'm blanking on other categories ...
Oh, I thought she went back to being one of the bad guys again. I do remember that she originally went to the mansion because she thought it was the only place she could learn to live with what her powers were doing to her.
So where do you guys put Huntress on the scale? I'm quite curious.

Failure as a student, you mean?
Martian Manhunter is the last of his race, yes.
Hawkman and Hawkwoman are...ex-patriots? Who knows anymore?
Starfire is, I guess, a Tamaranian princess escaping slavery. Or was before she left.
Hm. What other alien superheroes are there? I'm sure Marvel has tons (Captain Mar-vell, for instance), but I'm not a big Marvel guy.
Failure as a student, you mean?
Yes, which weakens the premise that it's a school (or an effective one) -- what with the not teaching and stuff, except for the kidlets.
Koriand'r kept going home, but then there was the insane sister. Not sure if she's just fleeing a failed relationship at this point.

Vigilante. Like Punisher.

Because one student never learned to control her powers?
I think one has to look at how the individual characters are portrayed these days, as oppsoed to, say, in the Sixties or Forties, because the attitude has shifted a lot. The X-Men, particularly, have been re-interpreted.
Vigilante. Like Punisher.
Except hotter.
And slightly more interesting.
We need subclassifications for Vigilantes.
