Venom has been many things. Even just the Eddie Brock Venom has been many things. He's had stories that accentuate the horror side. He's had stories that are more standard superhero fare. The current run, from what I gather, isn't too horror-oriented. And there's no need for stories to be "dumbed-down" to accommodate her, any more than any other character.
I mean, I'll agree with Secret Empire being kind of a mess. As far as "Moon Girl should have PTSD," yeah, so should most superheroes. How much PTSD did the Power Pack kids have after being caught up in actual wars with the Snarks? Or the Mutant Massacre, for that record?
Yeah, keep the genius girl in her own universe, so the main comics can continue the trend of not letting women be both scientists and superheroes. And, again, kid superheroes aren't anything new. Power Pack. Frigging Power Pack. Katie Power was 4 goddamn years old when that book started AND SHE WENT TO GODDAMN WAR.
