Gender Qualification
This is becoming one of my favorite entries on the Website (along with Jack-in-the-Box, Confessor, Astra and Blue Knight). I love the updates and I've had fun with the images.
However, I twitched a bit when I read " Lauren's new identity became the world's foremost female superhero."
Why the qualifier? Why not cast her as "one the world's foremost superheroes" and drop the gender patronizing?
Of course that got me to thinking, who's to say she is not "THE world's foremost superhero period?" Yea, I know Samaritan has all that empyrean stuff coursing through his veins, but hey, Winged Victory can channel a near endless stream of female energy from all the ages. Have we seen her at anything close to her full capabilities?
I don't plan to change the entry (at least not right now), just sharing some thinking and stirring some discussions.
