Jonni Thunder is such a missed opportunity for DC.

She originated during a time where creating new versions of old characters by race or gender swapping (herself, Wildcat, Dr. Midnight, John Stewart, Dr. Light, Marvel's Captain Marvel) was seen more as just another way to expand the pool of characters. Probably because the characters seemed more fleshed out back then and DC didn't artificially promote them, which made them fell less exploitative. They were just new characters and treated just like any other new character.

But with a dire need for more non-superhero comics, Jonni would be a perfect candidate for a hard-biting crime drama series, ala Gotham Central, 100 Bullets, Sandman Mystery Theatre and Question. And... DC does have Bendis now. She would be right up his alley.
