    I wish they would do more with Karma.

    Return her to her costume and get her out of that school uniform for starters.

    I have a fondness of Dustin Weaver's pink variant for X'ian's costume. She seems to have an affinity for the color given the hir dye experimentation.

    I know the name is supposed to redeem the original, vaguely Viet Hoa name that Karma had.......but Manh Cao Xuan really is just a nonsensical mix of Vietnamese names. There is no flow. I think they should have just stayed with Xuan...

    I wasn't aware they changed her name. Was there an in-story reason?

    LOVELOVELOVE that last look with the sharp shoulders, minus the unnecessary mask. I just wish they would have Forge design a new prosthetic leg for her...something sleek and modern instead of 90's robotech.

    Her old name doesn't make any grammatical sense in Vietnamese.

    It was a pretty soft retcon in the story, she just states everyone has been pronouncing it slightly wrong for years and this is her actual name.

    It's in the Love Unlimited Infinity comic, issue #31. Right now it's only available on Marvel Unlimited.

    It's way past time for one. Maybe the mini coming up will touch on it, or the Love Unlimited story. Someone suggested that Tran might be manipulating Elle.

    While I understand Cable having a prosthetic body parts. I'm not sure why Xi'an and Forge still do, especially with the rebirth process.
    Some of us wait, some of us act.
