And that's why Expatriette and Setback do so well together. They both already expect the mishaps.
Wouldn't work with Tachyon, Dana probably has at least one piece of jewelry with a tracking device on and Meredith is the fastest woman alive. I can imagine the threatening phonecall now.
"Alright Tachyon, we have your girl, now bring the… GAHHH! What the hell!? MY LEGS, YOU BROKE MY FREAKING LEGS YOU SUPERSONIC FREAK! No, I'm sorry, I'll never go near her again I promise, please don't hurt me any more…"
But why would a character who has otherwise shown to be in a happy relationship turn into an anti-human/earth character?
That’s a bit of a stretch, even by comic standards.
It’s really clutching at straws to attach a character we have no reason to believe isn’t from earth, and has a clear reason to be attached to it and those from it, to a character specifically stated to be from space and doesn’t like humans there.
Why did Captain Cosmic's brother go insane? Alien powers can do strange things to ordinary people.
(For the record I'm don't think it's Dana, more likely to be either an ex of CC's or an entirely new alien personage, see Star Sapphire for the Green Lantern parallels)
Sentinel Comics doesn't seem to really go for the whole significant-other-as-pawn thing. Legacy is another hero that's clearly family-oriented, with no big deal made of it.
My OP said it was unfounded specualtion on my part and I'll be happy to be proven wrong on this. I think that half of the reason this unlikely idea came to me was due to my hope that we'll get to see more of Dana and the mysterious wife of Paul Parsons before the expansions end.
She's not anti-human, she's just enforcing the Prime Directive.
As a British captain, Captain Cosmic can violate the prime directive whenever he needs to.
I love this about Sentinel Comics. The kidnapping (or whatever) of a loved one as leverage has become a very over-used trope. I don't think it should never be used, but if it's used all the time it has no impact.
I'd love to see more of Dana and Nancy before the expansions (and Tactics) end as well. I expect that we will! And Christopher said that, if we have unanswered questions when the storyline wraps up, we can ask him. (Okay, sure, we can ask anything anytime and that doesn't necessarily imply it'd be answered, but I think it was implied he'd be more likely to answer after the story is wrapped up than now.) So, even though I'd really like to know more about these characters, I feel a bit more inclined to patience now. Clearly it matters to show certain things at the right times in the storyline, otherwise it wouldn't matter when we asked or when he answered.
Oh yes, I too would love to know more about these more background characters. I just don’t see any reason for this link; one alien character and one character who we’ve never had any reason to believe is anything other than human.
Yes, I don't see a reason for any link between these either. Even if there is more to Cosmotíq than meets the eye, Dana's just a model for the billboard - there's no particular reason to think she's used any of their products.
Surely she'd use them for the photo shoots in the ad campaign.
Depends on how honest they are.
