Thanks, Oberon. I agree that all concepts are recycled - but I think it's more in a Platonic Form way, generally (and specifically in Steph's case), where tropes and ideas have power than multiple writers and artists draw from, rather than copying a copy.
I do miss Bette a lot. It's really a shame that she doesn't seem to have any creators who want to seriously use her - she deserves some time in the spotlight.
