I'm actually rereading that series now, and I'm not up to Waid's run yet. I'm looking forward to getting that far, as I didn't remember just how bad the series was in the early going. Baron's run was pretty bad, and Messner-Loebs was kind of hit or miss, with some good stories, and others that were kinda bad.

But even in Messner-Loebs' run, when Linda was first introduced, before she started dating Wally, she was already one of the most interesting characters in the series. Given that she was introduced in the same issue where Brian Augustyn took over as editor, and he stayed on the series through much of Waid's run, I wonder how much of her characterization was his idea.
