Of the above image I have never taken a liking to the visible eyes on the mask that the comicbook character Free Spirit is wearing so..

..imagine how grateful I was when said comicbook character was depicted with white lenses no eyes visible!

Man, I would love to see more of Firebird again, she was an awesome character.

The comicbook character Bonita Juarez was so awesome helping the comicbook character Hank Pym find his new heroic identity;

From West Coast Avengers #21

She was in BEYOND! Heck, it even continued that odd romance with Professor Pym.

I chalk it up to the late GREAT Dwayne Glenn McDuffie being respectful to continuity!
Also, since the comicbook character Hank Pym is being pissed and crapped upon to this day, I am immensely pleased that the comicbook character Firebird acknowledges his heroic nature.

Strange Tales #159 Aug 1967
First appearance of The Contessa Valentina (Val) Allegro De Fontaine

The Countess explains her personal involvement with the cause of SHIELD.

Which craftily creates a complicated chronological conundrum.

Be as that may, I'd love for the character to show up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

In the comics the character was a friend/rival of Sharon Carter.
I'm thinking in the MCU she could be revealed to be that to Peggy Carter!
