Haha, good bits. Missing a somewhat strange character moment for Finesse, where she moves aggressively against magneto in defence of her mentor Quicksilver, which is a new direction, but interesting.

I haven't decided if she's playing Quicksilver by asking him to teach her about his methods, or really moving her fixation. Maybe both?

Although the fact that Magneto could be touched at all by Finesse's billy club would be pretty disappointing to me if I were a budding supervillain who had idolized Mags as the ultimate bad guy.

	I don't think Finesse is that sophisticated. Her schtick is that for all her prodigious ability read people, she hasn't a clue how to use that information for her own purposes. Her blackmailing of Quicksilver is about as fancy as she's ever got, and it's monumentally crude and blunt. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

	funny considering her name is Finesse and she sorely lacks it. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 6 comments) (Show 6 comments)

Gage loves his irony, doesn't he?

I presume she'll grow out of it. She seems to me to be the most child-like emotionally of all the AA. The whole "Hey, if you want a girl to kiss you I'll do it, but be quick I've got other things to do" scene with Reptil in the early issues just screamed "eight-year old!" to me.

In many ways she's more like what Valeria should be written like.

I'd say she also lacks a role model/father figure, and is looking to fill that slot.

Which is a shame, because comics are desperately in need of more of those who aren't straight, white guys. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Lui's doing a good job writing Val in X-23. "What do you mean I can't use the thermonuclear reactor to open a time portal and pet a dinosaur? It's not fair!" (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Hmm, I guess that's true. Terrible in her main title and the FF appearances in Spidey, though. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well she's actually supposed to be a two to three year old supergenius, but she's never drawn that way. Except in X-23 this month. My satisfaction was total. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)
