this is a glorious writeup. I just love any kind of experimentation on the side of the writers w/ characters power sets ... like yas push limits and try new things its what you're here to do!

I really dont get why people complain about it so much bc it hasnt really changed anything about her. Its not like Barbera Gordon being crippled and forced into a wheelchair which killed her career as Batgirl (until she was healed). Karma with a prosthetic leg = Karma with a flesh leg. She is written the same. The only thing she gained was a visual
What ELSE would it be considered?
A head injury that prevents him from controlling bodily function. It’s just leveled up to Xth (mutant) degree.
Seriously. How many SOLO covers did Xian have before her “body modification”. The last time she was this visually prominent was when she was morbidly obese (thanks Farouk!)....
Disabilities are both visible and invisible. Heck some mutations can be seen as a metaphor for disabilities. I think some of the issues that folks have with karma is that her leg is so not as streamlined and nice looking as it could be.. Like folks love Misty Knight and she has a bionic arm.
To be fair Misty has almost always had a bionic arm since early on in her creation. Most people only know her with it whereas most people can remember a time when Karma didnt have the metal leg as its a more recent development. I think people are more adverse to change than anything. I dont think those same people would all of a sudden be for it if the artists made it prettier
Yes,he can speak in foreign languages, how else could he communicate with Warlock (when they first met), Sidri, Krakoa ? He can even speak in computer code as shown in Zeb Wells run.
I don't know whether this counts for being able to speak 'animal' language as well.

My understanding was that, like learning any language, he needed to first have a sample of it? Like, he doesn't just get introduced to someone who speaks Russian and immediately start speaking Russian. He hears them, hyper processes their syntax, inflection, present/past/future tense, etc. and BLAMMO, his astounding mutant tongue does the walking from there. haha.
Same with navigating and maneuvering computer systems. He fiddles, his brain hyper processes, and then his astounding mutant fingers tickle that keyboard and BLAMMO -- that computer lurvs him as much as I do.
Also: That Astonishing cover with Karma adjusting her leg is GORGEOUS

I'd love to see these looks come back for a change. Sometimes all it takes is new media. The pink masks are cool.
