Yeah maybe. I was just considering a plot hook for a further character arc of some sort. Maybe some psychological reason she prefers to remain in her energy form or something.
I used to think characters like Ulysses klaw, living laser, living lightning etc just simulate human forms. Their brains could be different types of computers. Like LL-optical/photonic computer, Klaw a phononic computer etc having the components signal each other with different intereference patterns. But this was just me worldbuilding head canon. Maybe they all have cosmic awareness now?I would be perfectly fine with Monica being able to mimic psionic energy -- to read minds, and project her own thoughts into someone else's mind. That certainly sounds better than "Cosmic Awareness" explaining away some of her communicative feats while she is in some of her various EM forms
I'm not sure if wonder-man is an energy form simulation (I think I remember him remarking on him not being human but living ionic energy) or organic tissue infused with ionic energy (always been iffy on that)
Maybe living laser could be her rogue's gallery with an upgrade in terms of personality and power
It's weird, so many people who were fans of her in the 80s don't like her Nextwave version whereas for many modern readers that's the version they like.
Must be the dog killing.
