So I read this thing about Captain America promoting suicide prevention.

Now, since I'm actually a real live therapist when I'm not busy pretending to be a robot, this is kind of Relevent To My Interests. I'm also the first person to admit that this is the most attention I've paid to Captain America in...well...ever.

Those of you who actually read

Selina's background is actually pretty suicide-heavy. As a little girl, she found her mother after she had slit her wrists in the bathtub. She was a battered wife in some versions and in others they hinted at depression. I think a particularly chilling detail in one version is that her mother left her crucifix on the bathroom counter because she couldn't bear to wear i when killing herself. Little Selina pocketed it and that was the first thing she ever stole.

And then her dad spent a few years drinking himself to death which is kind of suicide via the slow path. Guess who found that body too!

Selina herself has stated her parents as weak, etc. Scarecrow messed with her head and tried to get her to kill herself, but she didn't go much further than sitting there holding a gun and staring at it. I don't think any writer has ever shown that as a viable option for her in recent continuity, in spite of her parents.

Superman has saved a suicidal person or two in his day and I so disapprove of that image title, whoever uploaded it >:| Here. Is. Another. I prefer Superhugs to violence.
