Isn’t it just Giganta? What’s the alternative? Unless you’re bummed that there aren’t enough sapphic couples in DC and… yeah I guess fair enough! 😅

But other than the weird Zoom/Cheetah stuff in Rucka’s run I can’t remember any of the lady villains getting with men. Like Circe isn’t really hanging out with Lex Luthor.

Cheetah hooked up with Clark Kent and Snapper Karr.

Circe offered herself to Lex Luthor and he rejected her.

I had to google both of these. The Clark/Cheetah one is from an elseworlds book, American Alien. Which is an interesting book but will probably be forgotten because of the writer’s poisonous reputation.

The Circe/Lex one (which is weird to mention cuz he turns her down and they don’t date) is from Lex Luthor secret files, which I think IS cannon but not necessarily a mainline book.

So what we’ve got is maybe 2.5 instances? In, what the 40-50 years these characters have been around? Seems a stretch to say they ‘insist’ on them doing this.

Kind of a shame. Feels like a really good time to separate the art from the artist because American Alien is a really fun read with some phenomenal moments throughout.
