I mentioned in a comment once that I made a list of 58 reasons why Knockout Needs to Come Back, truthfully I had about 20 reasons. But I decided to complete the list to bring it up to 58 because I felt up to the challenge. So without further ado,
1. Scandal and her make the best couple ever
2. Poppet
3. Beloved
4. Her hair is its own being.
5. She is really fucking tall, and that’s hot.
6. Visual reasons:
7. The destroyed motel rooms after she and scandal have rough sex
8. Her and scandal have really rough sex
9. I refuse to believe it has happened until Gail Simone writes it.
10. She is tough
11. Her biceps and every other muscle in her body.
12. She looks as strong as she is
13. Her wicked grin
14. Her temper
15. Her devotion to Scandal
16. She and Scandal can kick ass together
17. Knockout kicks ass really well
18. Scandal and her have the best chatter and lines when kicking ass together
19. She doesn’t ride a pink bike
20. Her word choices (i.e. “sweet morsel”, “abysmal”, “lice-ridden scrunt”, “I’ll explain rage to them in small, staccato bursts”, “Better than sex. And almost as brutal”, etc)
21. Naked Knockout > Naked Catman
22. Naked Knockout > Naked anyone (fictional or not)
23. Potentially more shower scenes
24. She never accepts defeat
25. Her fight with Barda was epic
26. She isn’t afraid to be bad
27. I’m going to wear out the spine on Six Degrees of Devastation soon.
28. In Scandal’s words: “You melt at the most awful things, beloved. Thank all the gods there are.”
29. Scandal’s relationship with Liana just screams that she is nowhere near over Kay’s death and ready to move on.
30. None of us are ready to move on
31. Knockout > Liana, like you wouldn’t believe
32. She is disorder
33. Vandal Savage doesn’t approve.
34. She sacrificed herself for Scandal
35. She protects Scandal
36. She would conquer Bangkok for Scandal
37. She totally could conquer Bangkok
38. She is the only thing Darkseid ever did right.
39. Even in ‘death’ she is epic: "I rip and tear and fight this reality, as a warrior, even from a warrior's hell!"
40. I think she would actually be comfortable around insignificus
41. I miss happy Scandal, a lot.
42. Secret Seven works, Bane and Jeannette don’t need to leave for her to come back
43. I’m sure Thomas misses being called Kitten
44. I bet Deadshot misses her too
45. It is totally possible, I mean, we are talking about comicbooks here, if it was possible in any media, it is this one.
46. We see Liana maybe once at the beginning of each arc if we are lucky, with Knockout we would get to see her all the time.
47. Knockout time = awesome time
48. I never go “d’aww” while I’m reading Secret Six anymore
49. Scandal may be immortal and therefore needs an immortal lover
50. We can finally finish the “Get Out of Hell Free Card" storyline
51. I’m sure Hell will willingly give her back (after all, she’s a terrible house guest)
52. I pledge to buy five copies of every issue she is in if she is brought back.
53. There was no Black Lantern Knockout, so my denial is justified…slightly
54. She deserves a better death at least, one that doesn’t just last 13 panels
55. Look at all the other superheroes who’ve come back, one more won’t hurt
56. She never got her last word with Scandal
57. I really want to see her fight some prehistoric animals
58. The potential awesomeness of fights between her and Bane over his self-assigned father role with Scandal is immeasurable.
If she doesn't come back soon I may have to take this up to 100 reasons.
