I suppose in a place like the Marvel universe, turning yourself into a cyborg because you thought it would make you cool is what rich teenagers would do.
Just Say No To Upgrades, kids!

... also, shouldn't Selene have been dead at this point? How'd she get better?

[mrstatham]

Selene was brought back just like Maddie, as I recall. I'm not fully sure on the how/why. I do know that two incredibly awesome female villains pandering to Wood's need to make his villainess look awesome is sad, though.

I am extremely skeptical about Selene willingly bowing to another villain as her superior, and my understanding is that her resistance to mind control and other psi powers is at least comparable to Magneto's.

[mrstatham]

Yeah, this. As above, Arkea is a classic example of a writer lazily using existing characters to make their new one look good. The difference here is that the characters Wood used to do so in this instance are Selene, and the equivalent of a Phoenix host, muddled power sets or not.

I thought Magneto used his helmet for that, though?

[bruinsfan]

The helmet helps, but he's supposed to have very strong defenses against psychic attack on his own.

I... I don't get who this comic is for. Are there fans of these lady supervillains? Did the collective We demand it?

[scorntx]

Well... pretty sure Enchantress, Selene and Typhoid Mary must have fans.
They've been around a few years (though the only Selene fan I can think of off-hand is Chris Claremont. Ha!)

But... this is still staggeringly random and bizarre.
