I am a huge fan of the Justice Society of America, and I did indeed notice Maxine Hunkel, a.k.a., Cyclone. She is a major cutie and she seems to know it! She's not a flirt or anything like that but she is a very sexy teen. And she is also smart and brave, two qualities in teen girls that I find extremely attractive. She really caught my eye, and I'm not surprised that you realized I would like her. She and Stargirl make Power Girl look dumpy by comparison, and Stargirl is obviously proud of her body considering how her costume shows off her mid-driff. I was disappointed that the Golden Age Flash has prejudices against adults and teens forming relationships with each other, even though I understand that bigotry against intergenerational relationships is heavily ingrained into our culture's collective psyche. In the JSA story arc/trade paperback Thy Kingdom Come there was a scene where Stargirl and a fireman in his 30's were flirting with each other, and Jay Garrick interrupted them and told the man, "Aren't you a bit old for her?" As I have said before, isn't it a bit silly to consider a teen super-hero like Courtney Whitmore, who routinely takes on the most powerful menaces in the universe and survives each battle, to be psychologically incapable of handling a relationship with an adult man? IMO, it's beyond ridiculous for a super-hero, who should have the utmost respect for Stargirl and her capabilities, to show such a bias. I really wish Courtney would have told him, "Um, excuse me, Jay, but I have taken on the likes of Solomon Grundy and Per Degaton and psychologically survived the slaying of most of my family right in front of my eyes...and you think I can't handle a relationship with this man? Mind your own business, please!" I am definitely going to delve into this subject in my Solar Man chapters regarding Ultra Girl's capabilities.
Several people have asked me to post on VoA more often, and Starlet Luver really made me feel welcome there. I appreciate that from all of you. I will do my best to post more on VoA in the future and I look forward to seeing your thread on V For Vendetta.
