So far I love all the characters and their designs. Lobdell and Rocafort did a great job in creating something modern that feels like a breath of fresh air. There is so much diversity in this group of characters. It's a good mix of different ethnicities, genders, personalities and probably moralities too. But despite or even because of all those differences I feel like this group will have a great dynamic.
I'm actually surprised that Lobdell made Bunker leave. I feel like Bunker would have been a great addition in the upcoming story arc.
I think Bunker is a good guy at heart and wouldn't have worked with it.
Also, Cloud 9 full shot :
No matter what you think about Lobdell, it has to acknowledge him as one of the few creators that create new characters without using pre-existent characters as a crutch. And for the most part, the characters he makes are pretty distinctive and as you point out, diverse. I'd even argue that his creations are more earnest in that front.
AH! That's it! I was wondering what on Earth her design was reminding me off, yeah she does have a kinda borderlands Siren vibe.
I was assuming she was an empath/telepath based on the name, but I wonder if she has some kind of elemental or weather powers as well, based on that image.
I have no idea, honestly. Could be a mixed powerset of both, empathy-esque and weather powers. I was wondering the logic behind the name. Babe in Arms is a wordplay, I guess (because, well, we have a babe in arms but he's also a bellicose baby). I can't think of a proper wordplay behind, but it could be some reference to the Ninth Heaven, I guess.
I had to google it because I was confused too. In my native language the phrase goes "to be on cloud seven".
And when searching for the origin of cloud nine there are different sources. Some state that it was originally called cloud seven, then later cloud eight and now we have cloud nine.

To be on Cloud Nine is to be happy, joyful to the point of being giddy. I'm guessing her powers will deal with some kind of emotional manipulation to make one passive and giddy?
For a short moment I thought the knife in the RH:O #37 preview is the one from #27. But it's a completely different design.
I also wonder if Jason gave Manhunter's staff back at the end of Event Leviathan #3
- and if it would be considered cannibalism or not if Devour ate Cyborg's metal parts.
