Uranus has always been one my all time fave senshi/scouts/soldiers.
Haruka maintained herself with strength, unyeilding courage and determination during all of her animated adventures. never unwavering in her to get done what needs to get done, even if it meant sacrificing herslef and the ones she loved strongly.

LOVE Renee Love love love Grace! matter of a fact I wish DC had done more with her Amazonian background

MINARHO1's Wonder Women by ~duskflare on deviantART

You see this picture. As much as I adore, Diana, Donna and Artemis, there is little to no diversity when it comes for HBIC Amazons. Granted there are Phillipus and Nu'Bia . But like Grace they are pushed to the side and never creatively featured. Grace would have been a fantastic addition to the top 5 of the Wondy immeadiate family.

Grace & Anissa!

I've just red all of Winick's run on Outsiders (and am taking a Starman shaped break before proceeding on to Dixon), and I adore those two. Grace is awesome, and Anissa of course hits all my family/legacy buttons.

LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

And Renee. Who is the best everything.

Lafayette Reynolds for the win. As a writer she intrigues me more than the others.

I'm going to go hang my head in shame for forgetting about Rainmaker. :(

(Though, to be honest, I haven't thought of Gen13 in ages...)

I've only heard of a few of these people. I'm really not up on my comic book characters.

I noticed that most of them are women, which isn't surprising since probably the majority of comics are written by/for straight men.

In fact I'm doing an updated version of Queer Tropes which I'm about to post shortly that touches on this very issue.
