I think you're being a bit hard on her, though. Sure, there were definitely "Lois Lane" rejected plots for Diane, but she still pulled her weight in stories where she had something to do besides hang out in Harding's office.<br /><br />I noticed many of the early voters only opted to make a few picks, so I think previous polls "trained" folks to only vote once. I wonder if some reconsidered and altered their votes down the line, which would explain the gains across the board later in the month.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620698560611640068.post-70398998705681555832009-05-31T23:07:04.596-05:002009-05-31T23:07:04.596-05:00I only voted once, for Zook.

In some of the stories after her return in Detective #275, there was an attempt to portray her as capable and independent, as not just someone for J'onn to rescue, and it was great that J'onn felt real affection for her. This changed in the later 12-page Detective stories, when she became just another damsel-in-distress. And finally, she was simply written out of J'onn's life. Thanks a lot, stupid Diabolu Head. (The lame story device, not this blog.) At least, for a while, he still had Zook.Tomhttp://home.nethere.net/tomhartleynoreply@blogger.com
