WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN??

Tom Brevoort has a Formspring and he's actually pretty good at answering questions.

In his most recent batch of replies, he tackled things like the recent CATWOMAN/STARFIRE controversy and why Gambit isn't invited to more poker games.

I thought Moonstone was manipulative, but also portrayed as... not as smart as she thinks she is in that run. Kind of getting way over her head in term of the team leadership.

She wasn't a good leader because she always looked for fast and easy fixes rather than focusing on the big picture. That and she didn't care. She liked being leader more for the power and the prestige, not to mention the hefty paycheck Osborn was giving her for holding the position. When it came to doing a good job though she just didn't give a shit. Karla was quite self-centered as she's always been.

Now when Bendis got ahold of her, all that flew out the window and she lost all that intelligence and manipulation. I look at all the missed opportunities where Karla's skills at being manipulative could have been put to good use...Molecule Man for instance. Here is this insane, incredibly powerful guy and she doesn't try to manipulate him? Or Sentry for that matter? And what about when Ares hit on her? Now there would have been an opportunity to use her sexuality as a good manipulation tool considering how key Ares was to Osborn's plans at the time. Instead she sleeps with Bullseye because he dresses like her ex? That made her look hardup and pathetic, made all the worse by the fact that in Ellis's run she couldn't stand Bullseye. She thought he was a disgusting creep and he even tried to kill her once. I mean, really.
