"The New Order" had Kori as the mother of Dick's child. I thought that was an interesting choice. To me Barb is the obvious choice. Maybe Higgins chose Kori for story purposes, to kind of remove Jim from the equation a little. In that story Barb would have potentially come across poorly no matter what side she chose, her son's father or her father.
Higgins's use of Kory in The New Order served two clear purposes. One was to explain how Jake received powers in the first place, but also to create tension from Dick's actions directly affecting his wife.
