@Rheged: @aztek the lost: Thanks for the input guys. Actually, the H2 headers you pointed out (Ms Marvel personality, Zatanna home, mystic advice, relationships, other appearances) were all created by other users, so I haven't fixed them yet other than making grammar and syntax corrections. But I agree with your suggestions and will try to implement them soon. And Aztek, thanks for the blonde Zee image, I've been looking for one for a while now. :)
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for it, but would it be crass of me to point out that I think our current H3 headers are inadequate? They really don't format very well with the text, spacing it rather randomly and irregularly. It often makes for a untidy and unprofessional appearance. The H2 headers just look a lot neater and clearly separate themselves from the text, which is likely why people overuse them. I don't know if there is any way to fix this, but our pages are always going to look kind of ragged with the current H3 headers. Just putting that out there.
Sorry dreamsmith, but I'm going to have to post a strong rebuttal here. You didn't like the writing, fair enough. I'll agree that the writer didn't write Carol as well as he could have in that story arc. But Carol Danvers is the one and only Ms. Marvel, period. Carla is a sociopath who was handed the role and didn't deserve the title for one second. And as for thinking Carla is the more interesting, more real, three dimensional character, I'm guessing you haven't followed Carol's career since her beginning like I have. She's one of the most complex and interesting women characters in comics. If she were really as one-note and one-dimensional as you claim, she would never have attained the popularity that she has. Don't judge a long-enduring character by one writer's temporary stint.
One other thing: Carol IS extremely powerful, enough to be able to rip the Moonstone out of Karla. If anything, writers tend to constantly write her with less power than she really has. Her feat was only ridiculous if you're reading her book because you wanted to see her lose.
^ Ivy's Creation is correct. Poison Ivy is immune to virtually all substances that would otherwise be considered toxic or harmful, no matter what they are, so this would include anti-toxins. My guess is that even if an enemy created an anti-toxin specifically from the poison in her bloodstream and attacked her with it, her body's natural defenses would instantly form an immunity to it.
@comkid100: YOu need to read the whole series, since there is a specific reason why Zatanna said that. Earlier in the series, Poison Ivy was convinced that Zatanna had something to do with Catwoman's fragile mental state. This was due to Zatanna's history of performing magical "mind wipes" on supervillains in order to make them less dangerous, and Zatanna was known to have tampered with Catwoman's mind before. So Poison Ivy created an animated plant avatar out of the plants in Zatanna's house and attacked and interrogated Zatanna with it, really manhandling her in the process. Here are a few scenes from the issue:
This encounter was still fresh in Zatanna's mind, hence why she told Ivy to stay away and would immediately consider her a threat if she appeared again.
@GothamRed: I once really liked Psylocke, until a certain writer/artist turned her from a proper British woman into an Asian ninja slut, for no good reason other than to fulfill his personal fantasies. Just because she was now Asian, she suddenly had the desire to run around in a thong and blatantly proposition every eligible or ineligible male in her vicinity? As someone with an Asian mother, I found it beyond offensive and it ruined Psylocke as a character for me. But even worse, the fanboys ate it up.
