Now I'm biased and I think that Cheshire is a loving awful character that deserves to rot on the comic book limbo but there's something about Tynion's Cheshire that it made me cringe. Oh and he also turned Bronze Tiger on a weretiger because.

I got a lot of flak already for my opinion on N52 Starfire but oddly enough, I felt honestly creeped out by N52 Cheshire. Unlike Kory who was more than met the eye (under Lobdell's since Tynion's is awful) I found Cheshire unidimensional, shallow and with serious mary sue-ish traits, the way she has been written with all that emphasis on her sexuality as weapon and her dynamic with Roy made me cringe (she wants Roy as her pet, Roy nicknamed her 'sexy crazy cat lady').

Probably is just a kneejerk reaction to Tynion's awful writing but I still found it odd.

I'm not going to check but didn't Nightcrawler used to creep on Kitty when she was still underage and he wasn't?

Yeah, I remember that issue. Hate-Monger was tapping into some doubts Sue had about the entire FF thing and used it to turn her into Malice, who was better at using the force field offensively than Sue ever was.

When they figured it out, Reed decided the best way to snap Sue out of it was to get her even angrier so eventually she'd break the conditioning and come out the other side. It was part of Byrne setting it up so Sue would ditch the Invisible Girl moniker and use Invisible Woman instead, and is kind of the start of the gradual evolution Sue went through in the '80s that turned her into the FF member you least want to gently caress with.

Yes there is. And there's a point where it turned back too.

That's a bit of a stretch, especially in a film about a self-appointed vigilante who breaks about 200 laws every day.

Speaking of Sonic Comics, Ken Penders once did a pitch for a Sonic Movie. It's... You know, just watch. And weep.

Remember when some higher-up sent a memo around saying that he "never wanted to see Supergirl's panties again"? Looks like the artists found a way around it by making it panty-time 24/7 and calling it a leotard.
