I give you credit for keeping this very positive. Being a negative person myself, the story of Kinetix is an interesting example of what happens when the creative team don’t like a character. She started off as a parody of Phoenix, then became an anime cat girl, and finally degenerated into a representation of somebody’s dark sexual fantasies. Sort of like the fresh yong girl who goes to Hollywood to be a movie star, finds out it’s not as easy as she thought it would be, got herself into situations where she was exploited, and finally ended up in porn.
On a lighter note, I have really enjoyed this series. Keep up the good work.
Good luck on condensing Saturn Girl’s entry into an easy read.

As a huge Kinetix fan (6.218 feet to be exact =p), I gotta say your entry did her justice. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

She may have started as a Jean Grey swipe, but she became, I thought, very interesting despite all the back-and-forth the writers put her through, and she was my favorite character in this era…which made her eventual fate a little hard to take. Whatta waste.

Anyway, very nice overview!

“Jean Grey? What are you doing in the Legion of Superheroes?” Ah yes, Kinetix, first of the “let’s poke fun at Marvel” characters. I think that’s half of what made her so irritating (the other half being, of course, the power tripping and the get-it/lose-it power thing that screamed “now that we’ve got our parody character, we can’t decide what to do with her.” …wait, that’s three halves. It’s been a long Monday…) Still, she did eventually grow on me. She had spunk. (I, uh, *cough* did like the cat-girl version. But I also like how she got the cheek tattoo by being bitch-slapped ^___^ )

I’ve wanted to electrocute anime cat girls too, don’t worry.

Once again, nothing but love for these. Kinetix was definitely one of those I never knew anything about, so now I know, right? Actually, I don’t think that sentence made much sense . . .

Great job!

Wow, wow! I can’t get enough of these. I’ve never read Legion and probably never will (blame geography), but each of HHs is an entertaining and informative ride. As a reader, I have no choice but to simply absorb a fraction of your love for the characters. Can’t wait for the next one. Thank you!
