Ultimately few DC characters (Cassandra Cain being one though, Roy Harper is currently another) have been trashed and made toxic in such a short time for no apparent reason than Mary Marvel. -
The thing I don't get is that kind of trashing has almost never produced a character that people are more interested in as far as I can tell, at least without major setup, yet they did three in a row? And, IMO, getting worse about it as it went on? That's even speaking as a Cass fan, as at least her villain form was more 'generic dragonlady' than ... Black Mary's dumbness or Swing-a-dead-cat Harper, and she got a rapid 360 while editorial actually protected Mary's change.
