I'm wondering if that helped her. If she decided to put on this suit which regulates light or something to help channel her power, maybe it was damping her. I mean, in raw power? She outshined Mister Rapey Rape. Doesn't make sense that he beat her all the time.
Seriously, she smacked the Anti-Monitor. She ought to be pretty handy against some lesser minions using his power. But somehow she only starts disintegrating them after her clothes get ripped off.
Maybe, but this whole story was just ugly. Which is Robinson's specialty on anything that's not STARMAN or LEAVE IT TO CHANCE. (I'm assuming the latter--I haven't read it) A bunch of confident superheroines reduced to scared little girls holding each other, except Zatanna, who's simply out of the story through most of it(and I'm glad--based on this, I do NOT want to know what happened between her and her dad). All the males conveniently taken out first. And the sexism. And the racism. I know it's coming out of the BLs. But I have to wonder if this is Robinson simply indulging himself.
And I'm sorry, but the issue-long stripping of female Dr. Light--disgusting. Simply disgusting. It amounts to prolonged emotional rape.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
