Unfortunately for me, when I collected comics as a lass, I only saw Danvers at her worst: when she came to beat up Rogue (who was younger than her, but I've come to understand that Rogue was older when they first tangoed), when she got raped, then drunk then thrown out of the Avengers. The side boob didn't help either, I was pretty neutral re: Danvers, she didn't irk me but didn't make me pause either. Then, in the ways of these things, I got a prompt (still writing), and as such, had to ask what made her so appealing to fangirls. So, cheers for that.
Cheers for this
