she left to have a "normal" life

Posted 1 year, 2 months ago

The baby turned out to be a Skrull bioweapon that Paibok had implanted, hoping it'd kill the FF after it'd hatched.

Lyja didn't so much 'leave to have a normal life' as 'got lost in the shuffle after Onslaught wiped out every hero on the planet'. She's only just recently gotten her second appearance since the year 2000, and I get the distinct impression without looking to check that it's probably just a cameo.

   I'm pleased to see her return. I'm also pleased to see that I was right about her reasons for teleporting the Baxter Building into the Negative Zone. I figured it was an attempt to save her husband (Johnny is still her husband) and the Franklin children from being killed in the invasion. I don't think she was too worried about what would happen to Ben Grimm, though.

   I've always felt that she was the best of all of Johnny's girlfriends/love interests. She was a strong character, tossed aside when writers wanted to return to the old "Johnny the Dog" concept, where he was chasing skirts left and right. I feel that Johnny and Lyja are in love, but Johnny fears commitment and Ljya fears being hurt. They make a great couple...but not for a few more years. She needs to find herself, and he needs to "sow a few more wild oats" as they used to say.

   Still...I hope that's not TO far in the future. She's a great character ;>)
