I just read she muses she would have snapped Wolverine's neck with a kick if not for his adamantium skeleton.
The line is that I know people IRL who can do that. I don't know anyone who could do what she did in the movies.

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I guess I just chalk it up to Hollywood inflation where an average action hero can often pull off as much or more than a highly-trained fighter.

She's disproportionately inflated, though. When you rate her alongside the other people in the movie, she's on a par with the other combat powered folks, and perhaps even more acrobatic. She's not on that level in the comics.

And a new scanner to, uh, do things I would never ever do.

Green Arrow #39
Identity Crisis #1
Nightwing #94
Ultimate X-Men #47
And also Green Arrow and Ultimate Fantastic Four backissues.

Ok so um.
I'm not at all familiar with Nightwing.
But he's in this month's Wizard magazine and...
Batons? BATONS? No wonder the fangirls have fun with him.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Escrima sticks, to be precise. Unbreakable ones. And I may know too much about the subject, now that I think about it.

Batons? BATONS?
Escrima sticks. Which are actually used in martial arts, as opposed to marching band and talent show competitions.
Edit: Hee. Knew that was going to x-post.

I am pleased to announce that due to the extreme amount of free time I will have from Sunday onward, I plan to spend some time each day at Borders or B&N reading old Batman TPBs.
