Awesome light powers are EVEN BETTER. They're warm, they give you a tan, they leave your ex free to hook up with the cute scientist boy to stop him from going evil...


...wait, what?

Except awesome light powers+sunny disposition+non-white superhero+female = fridge.

In all fairness, being white didn't help Mary Marvel escape the fridge. Well, she's not dead yet, but still. Give it a year.

Being white why she's just in comic book limbo. Being female and having a sunny disposition just qualifies you for multiple doses of Break the Cutie.

Um, let's see...


Ice died, I guess. But she came back, so I guess it doesn't count.

But hey, isn't she Roma now? Let the fridging begin! Let us collect her Gypsy tears to protect us from AIDS!

...I'm suppressing that storyline in my personal canon. Tora is a bright, cheerful girl with happy living parents. She is an ice goddess. Not gypsy ice-Batman.


(Didn't they try making Dick Grayson Roma a few years back?)

I think that one stuck.

Yes, one of Devin Grayson's additions to the Nightwing title was that his father was Roma (His mother was a former dental hygienist who ran away to join the circus), and one that's still in place (The level of detail she threw in would be hard to undo easily). Whether it's ever referenced again is another matter.

Sure, "Grayson" is a traditional Roma name...

[icon_uk]

That's apparently the anglicised version of the family name "Graesinka"

[lieut_kettch]

Gaaah! Just imagine an apostrophe "s" after the "white."

[sweettart1823]

plus if we are talking about her being in a relationship with Cassie add queer to that list. :3

Not to mention the most damning adjective of all: a Teen Titans member.
