It doesn't help that I don't particularly like the character.

I wonder how much of how that develops Claremont planned ahead of time. Because you can't really predict the popularity of characters. And I don't think Wolverine would have become the character he became without her.<br /><br />I have those Iron Man issues, but I don't know if I ever actually read them.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
