" @Gylan Thomas:  I was just using X-23 as an example. I am aware that she is a fictional character.

" You should read the upcoming batwoman. Sure she has the word "bat" in her hero name and does the same thing batman does but she is a very deep and unique character. Currently there are more women heroes in DC than there are men. The problem is that Marvel writers dont know how to really write for women. They dont go too deep into characters. See the Ms. Marvel series to see how bad it is. But DC is really bringing up the women heroes now-a-days. Power Girl is a fun comic. Power Girl is also the leader of JSA All-Stars.

When they are, the comics sell. AKA Wonder Woman.  But i agree on one thing. The writers need to bring some more women characters into the big picture with wonder woman. Right now shes the biggest woman character. No other female character compares to her, while the male characters dominate the big picture. But its life. Males will always be superior. "

I seriously think it is because I do not use contractions in my posts. Kind of like how X-23 speaks.  "

I personally have never heard of a woman raping a man. 

I believe that if the writer of a female character really cares for that character then the results will show but if they dont then it will sucks, same goes for guy comic characters too. in theory if every character was given the proper amount of attention then their character could flourish, i think both dc and marvel should focus on this. though both of them probably do have at least one good female series going for each company

Well, he struggled as much as he could for being poisoned. Devon Grayson (the writer behind it) has admitted she wrote it as rape. "

I said rape because I meant rape. I know the difference between rape and sexual assault.   Men in abusive relationships are often known to be raped.   Furthermore, I am not the one that completely changed the direction of your blog but you should be happy anyone wanted to post in your blog at all.  "

Not only is it plausible, it happens enough in real life that it is starting to be talked about. Obviously it does not happen as often as male on female rape, but it actually happens.  "

I'm just glad I'm not a Nightwing fan. I imagine it pissed alot of people off (and I dont remember exactly if it was full on penetration rape, or just Dr. bad touch rape). "

That very subject has been debated on here before. Whether or not its ridiculous really wasn't the point I was trying to make :p  in fact I agree its ridiculous which is why I mentioned it. It clearly shows the state of things.

Sorry. I didn't mean to come off liek I didn't get your point. Just sayin' it seemed bizarre to me when I heard about it. I think the super stuff is ok to ignore reality but if we're dealing with some thing that can't be put down to a super power it needs to be done in a plausible way. "

@blackstormtorrent:  Thanks (: I'll have to check it out. I love Felicia and Monica, so I look forward to their scenes.  Do Felicia and Monica have big roles? Because I've only really heard about the cancer theme with patsy. "

yea there have sum scenes mostly about the cancer that i can remeber monica stuff about her and brother vodoo and felica is about her and sum rich guy cant remeber her story that much "

" Yuck! The characters had barely ever met before Divas. If at all.There was no set up or any thing. Seemed like the reader had missed some thing. Birds started from scratch. They weren't lazy about it. "

But Marvel Diva's was only a limited miniseries, planned for 4 issues. So I guess they had to speed things up and automatically make the characters friends. "

" Of course the characters personalitys are different. If not it really woudl be an outright copy. However, stay with the Bat's as an example, Batgirl as a concept isn't the most original idea.  I'm not sure we can attribute every thing that happen with a Batgirl or because of a Batgirl to Bab's shooting years before either. What if Bab's had just retired?  Shooting Bab's was the desicion of one Allan Moore (big fan). Just like what Mike Grell did to Balck Canary in Long Bow Hunters (?) You are right about the whole "women in refrigerators" thing of  course. What it really comes down to is that the audience is predominantly male. "
