An entry under villains is debateable... I'd say no personally as she was a combination of under the Master/Unity's influence and protecting her child.

I'd guess part of the debate goes, "But she murdered two innocent people in cold blood!"

Yeah, but the same could be said about Wolverine or Wildchild... Marrina whilst as a Leviathan... Northstar the terrorist... yet they're all considered heroes(or at least AF/X-Factor Wildchild was even after killing people).

[Le Messor]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with 'put Alpha Strike under villains', add her to the membership, wait for them to strike and capture them all while they're off work.

Fair 'nuff.

But all Heather had to do was take her child, which she could have easily done without melting the heads of two relatives who really weren't doing anything wrong or endangering Claire in any way.

It may have been mainly written this way for shock-value. If so, it was effective. But not having any real follow-up to it, leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Heather was a hero; how does she feel about this act? How does she come to terms with it? Is she a wanted criminal? Does anybody else know what she did? Is she racked with guilt? Leaving us hanging with these questions, knowing full well it could be years before somebody attemtps to answer any of them, is cruel and unusual punishment. Why write it, if you are not going to properly finish it?

That's my take on things.

But you're right, other heroes have gone there.

Does anybody else know what she did?

I imagine the several witnesses who watched it and commented on it at the time do.

Oh I agree, but the 'villain' tag is a grey area.

It was 100% for shock-value, definitely.

I'd imagine they would have followed it up, but sales didn't give them the chance.

Ah yes; "sales". See my comments about Marvel here: http://alphaflight.net/showthread.ph...7505#post87505
