She came out of that series with the same steel but a more nuanced personality and a P.O.V that was still aggressive but kinda understandable.
But the Maria Hill that's been cropping up in UXM and ANXM is apparently an LMD* based on a years-out-of-date brain scan, so she's back to being an obnoxious nuisance again, one whose bafflingly illogical actions serve no in-universe purpose beyond making Cyke look better by comparison. Like most other non-NXS characters in the series, then.
