Moonstone Appreciation

[Angrel-San]

Dr. Sofen is being criminally underused. She's too powerful, cuning and witty to be stuck in limbo. I do wish I could have read the last Thunderbolts but the art was too much of a turnoff to get into it.

The last volume was a throwback to her cunning ways.

Much better than her Ellis ultra slut phase.

[Angrel-San]

That's just shocking. Moonstone is a powerhouse and well above Daredevil's pay grade.

Is Bendis.

Moonstone is a Hulk level type of opponent.

Jobbing to a billy club throw is an expected thing coming from Bendis. *sigh*

[Angrel-San]

Hopefully we'll see her more in the new Hulk series.

Considering how depressed Banner was after No Surrender, Moonstone would fit the bill well there with the proper respect she deserves.

I've had the same thought, but the role she'd most obviously fit in that book - manipulative therapist frenemy - is already taken by a recurring character from Jeff Lemire's run and I can't say for sure if we'll be getting rid of her soon or not.

And I'd rather not have Karla just show up as Strong Bad Lady.

True. I'm just hoping Moon Knight sticks around long enough to have a couple different supporting character groups come and go.

I agree that if she's just going to be the Bad Guy of the Month, I'd rather she not appear at all. But Bemis hasn't really written anything in that style that I recall so I think that's unlikely, fortunately.

what is Moonstone up to lately? Has she ever been used in an outer space story arc?

[Angrel-San]

She went to space temporarily once she got her second moonstone back in Vol.1 of Thunderbolts.

Which is a good precedence that she can indeed go cosmic if she wants to.

She just showed up in the Thor vs. Hulk: Champions of the Universe mini by Jeremy Whitley.

How about Moonstone joining the Guardians? She can be their very own Dr Smith (lost in space) lol

The character deserves better IMO.

There's no excuse not to use Moonstone in the MCU now that Captain Marvel has her own movie. She should be a villain in part 2.
