Okay, this is only the second issue. and as a gay latino man i take issue when people call the "tokenism card" almost on reflex (not saying this is the case here, its just i am wary any time the word is used).

so far in the first issue she has been introduced as smart, she is an assistant instructor. They also stated that she has a history of superhero-ing but has had little in the form of formal training.

gage has done REALLY well with these kids. His fear itself tie ins were the best of the series. even Hazmat who is a grade A... well... she's grade A has had great character moments.

i have complete faith that he will not reduce her to the role of token lesbian.

I don't like how Hazmat is acting but it is completely in character with who she is, and also has been show to stem from the fact that the only one she can have safe contract with outside of her suit is Mettle, so her... beside manner is going to be lacking. I don't like it. and it is completely uncalled for. But it is not incredibly out of character for her
