Tony Stark is Iron Man. To have someone that "worships" him while at MIT and who is "allegedly" smarter than Tony at her age is just lame and uncreative. |

Yeah, I agree. I thought the Jessica Jones character on NetFlix was great. It came pretty close to a female Batman concept for me. I know that's off, but I never got into comics, so I don't have a lot of characters to compare her to. Which is fine because she is way more interesting as herself than some cheap gimmick like this one.

That's not how comics works. By the time the issue with the Hydra reveal came out the next issue would have been fully written and drawn. |

I see stories like this, like when the female Thor happened, and I wonder how many of the people discussing it have even seen a comic in the last year, much less read or even bought one. I know it's been decades for me.

Unfortunately Moon Knight killed it for me. So many people clamoring for him to be in the MCU, so I thought I'd read his backstory. Utter crap. Haven't read anything since. Well, excpet Saga. Which is probably the only serial I read, but in 3 or 4 episode bursts.

I don't read comics but even I know these things happen all the time. For example, the Batman in Batman Beyond wasnt Bruce Wayne and the show was still a cult classic and had very positive reviews. Posted via Mobile Device |

The word "Man" is half of the character's name.

So you launch this character in Iron Man, and a year or so down the line Tony Stark comes back and she spins out into her own Iron Girl series. Hopefully she's built enough of a fan base in the main book to stay afloat. I really fail to see why that's such a horrible thing. |
