(from Secret Six vol. 3, no. 18)

Of the many troubled young women Gail Simone has created, Virtuosa is my favorite. Partly because she’s not nearly so Mary Sue-ish as the others (she loses nearly every fight she gets into), but mostly becase she has this delicious Morticia Addams character design!

I don’t write Mary Sues. I think they’re silly. :)

I did love Virtuosa, partly because I loved her design, as well. She was an uber-intelligent, ultra-classy Indian woman, who ended up on the side of the villains not because she was evil. It was because she worshiped a man, the original Fiddler, who was evil. She herself had no real hate for others, she just was a big fan of a guy who did.

Fun fact that sucks: In her first appearance, she was mis-named as Virtuoso, which still bugs me to this day.

Since there are so few Indian women or girls in Western comics, it’d be a delight to bring her back.
